My friends pops is an old school splicer for 40yrs. He builds these tables and they have everything you would need built in. Measurements, melter, needle holders , marker holders, and a radio w TV. I grew up watching him at his craft and even though it's a dying trade it's amazing. We live in New Bedford, Mass so plenty of boats and splicing still

First I must commend you for educating people on rope work, still today rope is one of my favorite and most used tools. First introduced to me in the boy scouts, then again as an apprentice Iron Worker. It at least for me was very very hard to grasp the concept, especially if you had to tie it reversed, (around someone else for rescue). We had to learn nots and hitches forward, backward, with one hand, in the dark. I took a small line with me everywhere, practicing at any opportunity. Three years later I knew 300 knots and hitches. Applying the right not and rigging properly is a great challenge and very rewarding. I would like to add to your tutorial on forming an eye if it is ok with you. If a physical attachment is made at the eye it throughs this constricting hitch off and it can not function as designed. Instead make the eye a little smaller and sew in at the other end. The eye will get larger one time when first placed under load, this allows the outer sheath free to constrict with a very high ratio, like chinese finger cuffs. By sewing the front the thread takes much of the stress and restricts the constriction from doing its job. Also the amount of rope incerted can be reduced by over half.

This brings back memories of back splicing (and eye-splicing) three-strand sisal ropes as a scout back in the 1960s. The method is quite different with the newer nylon ropes.

Of all the demonstrations I have seen this one makes the most sense. Good job! You even use the same set of fids I have. Thanks you for taking the time to show us novices how-to. Having the proper equipment and work area set up ahead of time will make this much easier. I have subscribed.

I used to splice steel ropes underground as part of my duties as a maintenance fitter. We used to make a loop by splicing into the body and hiding the ends. At the latter end we had to use eyelets and clips as mines regulations had changed. What you basically have is a Chinese finger puzzle. Very neat thanks for showing.

Hi Redart789, thank you for your positive feedback. Some lines are very rigid and it can take a while to get the core out. (In this video we choose a rope which is very easy to splice). The first step in a rigid line is to make point B less rigid, so move it around for about a minute or so and it will become a lot softer. Then use a fid or a splicing needle to 'open up' the line. Stick the needle in without damaging the rope itself and make some room, then pick out the core. Good luck!

When I was in the navy on a YTB tug... we use to do this with eight inch lines... Memories. The eye splice never failed, but I did hear some high pitch whining before the lines snapped. It would get to a pitch that you knew it was time to duck. Moving ammo ships in the stockton river's current snapped a few quarter lines.

I actually watched this (thx for the upload) and in conjunction with a pamphlet I have now tied this eye splice dozens of times for work and for my own use on boats. Yeah it takes a little practise but once you get it they are a lot of fun to tie and look awesome (plus of course the functionality). You can tie these with a thimble too and they are excellent for anchors, etc. All you need is the correct jacketed rope and the corresponding size Fid (that special rod he is using) is also important. Any sail shop can set you up. I simply use an awl, fid, needle with nylon thread, and very sharp Olfa-style knife (I wrap masking tape around the cut point first it makes an easier cut). I have even tied rings with a very similar method. I suggest gloves are great for when pulling it out because hands can get kind of raw with the nylon rope. As another commenter mentioned, it is good to use a whipping stich needle and nylon thread or it can come apart. Use only top quality rope it's worth every penny!

One of the best eye splice ever,it's self tighten once load is applyed and can resist more in the splice segment than the rope length,under overload,the rope will snap along any sector of the rope BUT NOT THE SPLICE is the segent that will fail under overload,i really don't know why most peoples don't test theyr own theory in all scenarios (also the worse case scenario) to proove themselves that they have right on theyr own point of vision about an aspect they claim like they really know about...this type of splice is one of the strongest possible (including the variables related with) ! One advice,don't cut any scenes,rather play on a faster speed,so the peoples can see also the the more time consuming stuff,get a better video editor to allow you to do that,all the best regards from Romania :-)

Hi Bryan, Some ropes are harder than others, e.g. when the cover and cover are stiff. Taping the cover in this one is a good suggestion, we do that all the time. You can also use the D-SPLICER fid in this specific case. That one always works and is complementary to your regular fids.
@zzella4 жыл бұрын
This video is magic to watch but amazing when you manage to do it .I've done two eye splices now, one on a 1/2" rope & one on a 1/4" rope without a fid. A fid length is 21 times the rope diameter.I used a small knitting needle, pushed it up from 5 to 10 cm beyond B, pushed it into the centre of the inner core, taped it on & pulled it back through.
@natekimbell62224 жыл бұрын

@daveopincarne37183 жыл бұрын
Use an aluminum knitting needle. Pull the cap of the back, cut L = 21 x Dia and bevel the back end with a belt sander or file. Cheap and available fids that are also color coated. 1 pair of needles yields two fids or a short (7 x Dia) and long fid

What a great trick! (For Earl below) The sheaf that goes over the 2 rope joint, holds the ropes together, the harder you pull the tighter the sheaf constricts, making the join even stronger.

@rbritton873 жыл бұрын
If I remember correctly, Dyneema is single braid like Amsteel, correct? If so, it's single braid and will splice much, much faster. Don't use a fid for that though, it works best and easiest with a loop turner.

An eye splice reduces the working load with 10% on average (a knot with ~50%). On PremiumRopes we have specified all breaking strength per rope. You can certainly put a carabiner in the eye splice.

@seagorilla97045 жыл бұрын
Nice video. I've been doing this splice for many years but never thought of tapering the braid ends. That's neat, I'll try it next time. But whipping, siezing or stitching the splice is a mistake because to achieve it's full strength the inner and outer must close up around each other under load within the splice. If they are seized they cannot move the tiny amount needed so that the splice is effectively only as strong as the siezing. With time and loading the splice will work up stronger and stronger. I've done hundreds of these and never had a single failed splice. Still, a nice video - thanks.
@thedepaulaliveaboardprojec67745 жыл бұрын

@MrShysterme4 жыл бұрын
It works because the braided rope acts like the kid's toy called a "Chinese finger trap". Basically, as you pull on the line the braid constricts upon whatever is inside it. If you watch again, you will see how that is done at two points. Then friction causes the constricted sections not to slide past each other. All splices and knots work like this (constriction and friction).

It took 3 tries using cheap rope from Home Depot that was 3/8" in diameter. The core was fluffy and difficult to keep from bunching up. Threading the core 5 cm past point B was near impossible. Below the base of the loop, it is packed solid. Clearly, it is much easier with the specified rope. Thanks for a very helpful video and a fun challenge.

If those eye splices are the same that are used for wire rope, then the eye will never break. The middle of the wire cable will break before the eye breaks. 42 years working in a steel warehouse and never saw a cable break in the eye. Several cables broke in the middle of cable between the eyes, but NEVER in the eye.

I believe there is a point where the force required to make this loop slip off is greater than the force required to break the rope, therefore making it unnecessary to feed any more rope back through the case, right? but you would probably need to make a destructive test to figure that out, I suppose. ...excellent video!!
