Excellent video! Absolutely terrific that such a young man appreciates these old skills. (I love the constrictor knot, by the way.)
Wonderful work!

There’s a young man that knows what he’s talking about.

I am so impressed by this young man. Great content as usual, OCH!
Timothy Case says:
“…you got some Galvi shrouds…you want some good music” Thank you, Myles, and OCH. This is good stuff. Reading and visualizing the process, then muddling through on your own at home is a time consuming process. Watching it done by a professional is an Education. Entertaining, informative, excellent contribution.
Jeff Patrick says:
Won’t the linseed oil on the canvas seal the cable off from the air. Thus causing the SS cable to “rust?”
Myles Thurlow says:
I wont to go to far down the wormhole of how stainless steel behaves in anaerobic environment but it is a valid concern and some will say that you shouldn’t serve stainless wire for just this reason. That being said, I think that if the parceling and serving are done well, you are keeping the water out the equation and should not be having corrosion problems. I have pulled apart a lot of older stainless steel rigging to re-serve and have not seen a ton of corrosion related problems. The 316 is definitely better than the 304.
