The colored ends were a game changer! It made it so much easier to keep track of what went where. My first splice is a massive success!

[@briandriver3915]

I believe if I apply myself I can do it provided what you just taught i just saved to watch later and will be coming back to do this

[@gavdono7542]

Thanks mate!

[@prakasavigraha6104]

Good onya Tyler.

[@robertbaker2220]

Easy to follow instructions

[@nadege1358]

Love the use of the color, it made it much easier to follow. THANKS

[@markmarkw1919]

Are you being facetious, or were you reviewing a different video? In mine, it was all white.

[@wyore4344]

hi. great tutorial. much plainer than some others. best...walt+mrs

[@capybara_cute-_-]

Very impormative.thanks sir

[@jeta1f35]

Sadly, just like all the other vid's I've watched. There just isn't enough close up "visual" detail of how to make the first set of tucks.

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

Great vid.

[@christophernewell3660]

Very good. I learnt something

[@E-rigging]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment, Christopher!

[@pjmccormack4954]

nice thank you

[@E-rigging]

Welcome 😊

[@jonhomewood7709]

Easy to follow and very clear. Now I have to wrap the ends as it’s cotton rope….

[@markmarkw1919]

Nice succinct video; some of the others go on for 15 minutes! That loose-twist nylon is great to splice without needing a fid or anything, but it's particularly hard to follow in a video, because the working yarns come untwisted, and it looks like a mess of spaghetti where they cross. Something which would make it MUCH easier to follow would be if you could dye the individual yarns each a different color (though I don't know if it's actually even possible).

[@nofreerides7033]

Mine just ended up about 100’ somewhere in my back yard… give up

[@Corkedit]

OK vid. Misses the fact you have to stay at the same level and rotate the rope enough to ensure you are tucking under 1.2.3 stands at the same level. A big mistake is trend up moving up the live part rather than rotating it and then ending up crossing 2 tucks. If that makes sense..... close ups would be better and marking the strands 1 2 3 I find helps... I'm a beginner so pointing out what I learnt from doing!!

[@wyore4344]

dear ken -or- karen. what part of "art" and "practice" did you not understand? walt

[@Necrowanderer]

How do I determine 1 "pick"?

[@antoniociudad7549]

I don't know if it's me or what. 😊

[@andersskoleovergaard9313]

You may damage the rope with the heat gun as ypu show it. Besides from that - great video.

[@bARBORoja]

Firing a heat gun directly at the rope cannot be good for the structural integrity of the rope. Hot knife is a far safer bet.

[@MrSvenskaFlicka]

You said clockwise then you went counter clockwise

[@E-rigging]

Yes, that would be correct from the splicer's perspective. It all depends if you're holding the rope from the splice (like we are) or from the standing end. Better wording would be to rotate the rope opposite the way the strands lay.

[@markmarkw1919]

Also better would be showing the video oriented so that the guy in the video is facing the same direction as the student trying to copy him! (i.e., rotate it 180 degrees.)
