Default pipe splicing

Hi Carl,

How are you doing your splices? are you sleeving and plug welding? I'm under the impression that a gaffer needs a mast section that is initially stiffer than a marconi rig would need, since the lowers land so much higher up. If this system has proved sufficient for someone in the past, I'm open to it--but I'd sure like to hear from people who've used it before, or one of the master riggers who weigh in from time to time. Nothing like experience to take out the guesswork.
Ben
