Dont forget to mouse your rope before you start (that or burn it) and then once you finish if it looks like a dogs breakfast throw it on the ground and roll it with the toe of your shoe back and forth for a couple minutes.

Dont forget to properly taper
Dont forget to properly taper either, if you're wanting it to look nice and neat. Some easy to follow tutorials on youtube. Double braids a bit harder as you need a proper fit (with fid lenght markings) and they dont seem cheap unless you buy them overseas?
What splices do you need and in what rope?

Not sure what your doing at Barrow, but I'm sure there would be a few riggers/dogman around that might be able to show you or give you a few pointers.
