We use dyneema to replace our guard rails and get an unexpected benefit - cost! We saved money and time.

And as if saving one lot of money was not good enough, we save another pile of money when our DanBuoy breaks.

I think I've done something wrong I

think that's the distinct lack of up

okay let me give you splicing 101 you

put that bit through that bit before you

do that bit and let us you're not the

ones squeezing an absolutely million

piece of plastic

[Music]

you start down boy that could've been

hammered in the storms and you can see

the top is largely broken elf it it's

old and it's brittle and snaps quite

easily so it's had it all that stuff

seems debate is a tube I think all of

fun when the inside just like that and

I'm sure this one in the bottom yeah you

can see this one in the bottom is just

as brittle look at that so this need

this needs fixing

so the idea is that we're going to

replace the damn boy container with Vani

shocks the action gold oh yeah

and we're gonna use that because it's

exactly the right diameter for what we

can do is we can just drill a hole in

there a hole in there put the padding in

the middle so it's all in there put

that's on v sealant and the job is done

hands

it's a pink container rather than a oh

yeah we're girls are God's sake we

advise well go for it but if you have

one of these particular type of damn

boys they're like two to three hundred

quid to replace whereas a bit of fanny

shots the action is a lot cheaper and

the container is exactly the same size

as the damn Boy float almost to the

millimeter so we have great hopes that

we're about to save 300 quid oh yeah and

have a fashionably pink down boy what's

not to like it's good me

you can see what the inside is it's just

a particular layer of clothes cell

material and they just wind it in a

spiral and then stuffed it into this

tube

I just got just fell off its minion it's

absolutely minion and our new one will

be so much better because

so what I'm going to do is put a bit of

tip around this to hold it until I get

into doesn't matter I believe this tip

on or not it's gonna be inside the other

cylinder no it's got a lip on it I think

it's gonna come off

and let us you're not the one squeezing

an absolutely million piece of plastic

all right come back theater okay two

minutes for the sharp knife

but the Megane ended all right so to the

southern tip it's card put you down for

actually right now for the ultimate test

[Music]

yes

Hey look at that Oh bad but it's so cool

ha ha there longer has we got a nasty

yellow one we've got again this very

pink one

[Music]

and the finished job with the retro

reflective strip thumbs up make it nice

and bright shiny elect okey-dokey so um

we're going to be replacing the

guardrails and for that we have got some

Dyneema which is the same breaking

strain as what we currently have on the

guardrails also have a small bit of cord

which will actually be used to tighten

it

standing blade so that we can cut

everything our chopping board will also

have we've got our hollow fit just in

case screwdriver this is the splicing

needle and this particular one is what

they've made out of a little bit of

brass with a piece of wood on the end

but this is one of her splicing needles

and then we've also got some splicing

tape oh I'm finally gonna be able to do

some damage with these bad boys I'm

gonna use about two-fifths of this very

even and I'm just gonna mark my splice

it's gonna be up here

I'm just gonna prep this it's easier

just to do it all get it ready and then

secured I'm with a bit of tip it's

better there we go

get all the fed strikes again

and that will then be secured like so

the next thing is to do the same thing

again it's down here

you can't be the homicide

I'm gonna do an i is measure about a

fingers length so that'd be about there

and that's where the top of the eye will

be the top of the bite so when I come to

make my bite it will be like so okay and

that's where the lashing will go just

that just hello that will pull this

tight so not being where my bite is

going to be

Oh

or where my crossover points are going

to be for these splice yep

what do you mean the Russians through

the other way you do I'll show you

you'll see there's three yet is it's

under tension no you do a half hitch in

it

like this I'd say so it's like lashings

over yeah seems like a whipping so you

sort of like doing half inches and stuff

that's on a half hitch the ball that I'm

gonna do like our own type of whipping I

think I've done something wrong I think

that's the distinct lack of oh okay let

me give you splicing 101 you put that

bit through that bit before you do that

bit yeah three that bit now we can go

through that bit if they don't know

[Music]

you
