Hi Jeff,

Not sure whipping (seizing, really) HM line would be a good idea; it doesn't take kindly to the squeezing loads of knots, and a seizing is just basically squeezing the two parts together. But a 12-strand splice is easy to pull out and shorten, though I'm more keen on Brian D's Vectran in order to avoid having to do that a lot. My biggest worry with Galvanised is the difficulty in finding a domestic wire that's cheap enough; it seems most of the Galvi stuff is coming from overseas, and what's made here, (when you can find it), is terribly expensive. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough yet.
I'd love to make my own deadeyes, but by the time you buy the right hardwood (would cocobolo suit, by the way?) and put all the time into it, you may as well have bought Precourt. Sigh....
