What do you think makes your pistons go up and down inside your motor?

It's down right de-grading ......not southern at all.
I think it's valley girl talk.

Whipping by far, but I'd rather have a back splice myself, unless you
need to pull the lines bitter end thru a block.

Joe,

I don't think I've ever seen a back splice in a woven line? How is it
done?

Same as chinese handcuffs, yet you back the core. Same way you do an
eye in braid yet remove the eye.

That's yacht rope anyway, i figured real sailors use 3 strand rope.

Yeah Joe,
Real sailors use three strand HEMP! Joe it's time to come into this
century.

Hemp is tried and true..but I use nylon for sheets, cept the 100% jib
sheet it's big high tech, and the halyards they are stainless. I'm not
racing and like a bit of forgiveness. Nylons cheap and a pleasure to
work with.

I simply melt the ends with a blow torch and fashion them into a bit of a
taper so they fit through the hardware easily. Much more functional than
whipping or dipping.
