I tended to stretch the job out as long as possible.<br />I have seen splices done with a hammer but have never understood how it was done.buddeshepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747323705664619491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182558691810776835.post-78003421685524756892013-02-21T13:21:14.733-05:002013-02-21T13:21:14.733-05:00Your father Lou Ackley may have been the original ...Your father Lou Ackley may have been the original Honey Crick splicer. He likely taught my grandfather, who taught me.<br /><br />I remember once, down on the lower 80, my grandfather and I were fixing fence on the hillside and I stepped on a bumble bee nest.<br /><br />The bumble bees swarmed out and I started running. Grandpa yelled, "Don't run it only makes them angrier!" And I got stung 3 times as if to prove that point. Later, he admitted he got stung 4 times.<br /><br />He just had daub a little Honey Crick mud on the bee stings and we kept working.Left Bank of the Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494310302328322830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182558691810776835.post-84937730614364834762013-02-21T11:43:40.507-05:002013-02-21T11:43:40.507-05:00You are the only other person I have seen use a ha...You are the only other person I have seen use a hammer that way my Dad used one that way and I learned from him.<br />Paul AckleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
