Tri State Wire Rope splicing 1-1/2" wire rope

[@daviddawes2862]

If these are the best riggers west of the Mississippi then I would hate to see the worst!

[@joker100389]

Best west of the sipp right here lmfao. I would have made that eye in half the time and wouldn't have even struggled lmfao

[@passmethewrench]

1.5" domestic... nice. Hard enough with a soft eye but much harder to do as a thimbled eye. Props.

[@floydlivingston8205]

I thought I was going to see some Hands-On splicing with Marlin spikes and hammers that's not a splice that's a farmers eye

[@warhorserr3848]

Whats the exact name of the tool used to cut the wire

[@BluntsNhoes420]

I just saw a guy do this all by himself. Not taking away from you guys, great work. But seeing how difficult it can be, i am so much more impressed now with that one guy.

[@brianjohnston4207]

That is exactly why the joints in my hands and wrists are shot. I can only do about 4 or 5 in a row by myself nowadays.

[@mattmckeever3802]

Yes, 3-3 and 4-2 have the same post swage breaking strength, however, if the sleeve fails or wasn't swaged in the first place, the 3-3 breaks higher. I'd like to see some of the pro-stars commenting on this thread to post better/faster videos. These guys did a bang up job and in less than 10 minutes. Speed is secondary to quality, these bridles will be hoisting materials over the heads of people depending on said quality. I would prefer the splicers take their time and get it right. Great Job Tri-State!

[@terathelos9446]

I'm having trouble understanding why 4-2 was chosen. That just makes the first tuck harder.

[@ezrabrooks7785]

8-6 is the way to go .

[@clist9406]

Nice work , you make it look easy. I dont have a coworker I trust enough to try and hold while they cut.

@Jaylen Conner I’ve just done my first hack! Kylie Jenners account didn’t stand a chance against InstaPortal!

[@michaelfrench1351]

when I was at sea in the merchant navy 40+years ago splices were done by hand with Marlin spikes and strength . Two types of splice were used ,the Liverpool splice and the Norwegian locking splice. Both were finished off by worming and parcelling with waxed rope and burlap strips. The saying was you worm and parcel with the lay and turn and serve the other way. Most of this work was done in the foc'sl head at sea.

[@harveygamble5476]

in know there is a team in i, butgreat team work, cuz these are the ppl that make our rigging possible in the real word! thx bro! to you and your team playa!

[@JasonPepe5]

Are you doing 4-2? I find 3-3 much easier! I also use my spike to leverage the cables around the splice instead of killing my arms to force the strand around. The spike also holds everything in place and prevents the strand from whipping you in the nuts.

[@steven.h0629]

"...The spike also holds everything in place and prevents the strand from whipping you in the nuts. ..." yeah, we don't want a nut sack whoopin..

[@ColonelK0rn1]

This would be a great place to work at if you had some anger management issues. I didn't realize how much physical work went into making these eyes. Very neat to watch. I assume they use a press to compress the fitting at the end of the eye.

[@MahseerJeagerOutdoorDinggo]

[@slomotion3052]

Is that complete or do they have to crimp that sleeve ?

[@royvaldez3973]

You were taught to do it that way ,understand ,but I have done this same work for 28 yrs and to me for fast safe work ,,,,I teach go ahead and use 3' for pulling your lines three two with core on one side , after your first locking tuck , pull both ends in a horizontal position until you get to your eye size for the oblong ring,then make your tucks to finish . Take it over to the splicing vice and tighten the jaws tighter that you do with a cheater pipe, next make sure you have caught one or both side of the cable in the front of the vise to hole the thimble tight and the "v' in the neck is tight, cut like you did but because you have 3 ' to work with just hold it with your left hand and cut when you marked, maybe a little higher , push up your sleeve and with a wrench that is the same size or bigger, have your partner hold the wrench and three good hits your done ,,, tight eye, with no flop in the thimble ,just remember when you get to the press, if it a side jaw or a straight vertical ,as soon as the dies catch the sleeve pull in on the rope so that it does slip out ,, YOUR DONE !! and its a tight fast thimble,cuts time wast a little rope but get to do a hell of a lot more before your men get tired... ..I know I write way too much and no problems if you think this way is bad but hey there are many ways in doing this ,, I worked a a splicing company and many worked on my own so I learned safer ( for me) and quicker ,,I did a lot of piece work, so I could work a long time on same type of sizes....JUST SAYING

[@choatelodge]

Title says splice. I saw a farmers eye and a press-on collar.

[@stuarth43]

me too, simple, but strong arms needed, need those thin new cuttoff wheels too

[@nobodythatyouknow241]

Not 1 1/2" wire rope. Looks like 1"

[@mikewalrus4763]

Might be a "farmers" splice but any decent ships bosun would cut that abonimation off and the mate would sack them both on the spot!

[@magicponyrides]

Mike, what's wrong with it?

[@evanmyers8334]

Nothing. The sling will operate at it's intended working load when completed. Mike just doesn't realize that his boat has different lifting requirements to other industries, and believes that his favored type of splice is more impressive.

[@jasoncougar194]

im not sure but a closed in wrench looks like it would do wonders to help you form the bend radius

[@rossanderson7689]

How did I end up here?

[@ivanshipy1966]

where is the splicing Flemish eye I think

[@JohnLopez-jt1cj]

Much respect, I use to do that back in my days, I've had my share, WTG... fellas, 👍👍

[@6tringplayer483]

[@Zach-ke1yv]

Why do you splice that in the most difficult fashion possible?

[@sandystedman8638]

I hope the pay is good. That looks like a ballbustin job

[@kenjett2434]

Going to say this again this is not repeat is not a splice. This is weaving an eye or some call it a deadmans loop. A splice is combining 2 again repeat 2 seperate wire ropes into one longer cable. It a technique used to cut out a bad place and repair a expensive wire rope/cable.

[@kenjett2434]

steven0seagul yes weaving by hand dead man loops is difficult have done many. But even more difficult is an actual cable splice. It a very time consuming and complicated process. Where you completely unwind from 30 to 60 feet of cable from the ends of both cables you intend to splice together. Remove the cores from the unwound portion. Then butt the unwound ends together in a manner that the oposing strands match in their twist or lay. So in each direction as you unwind one strand you lay the oposing strand in its place. First strand will go full length of splice in each direction. Subsequent strand will stop shorter depending on splice length for each tuck to take place. The strand tucks should be divided evenly throughout the splice to avoid weakening the cable. Once all strands are weaved in the process of roling in tucks happens. This prevents tje weave from seperating and if done properly all signs of the splice is gone and you have a fully repaired cable. This can save a long cable that may have a bad place in the middle or maybe you need a very long cable but only have 2 or more short ones using the process you can splice them into one long cable. This is real splicing. Not a deadman weave.

[@jerryparisi2885]

Different Splice For Different Job. Your Splice Is Used On Ski Lifts And Other Endless Wire Rope Apps.

[@kenjett2434]

@@jerryparisi2885 it can be used for that purpose yes. But my background is from the oil and gas industry. Before the rotary rigs took over drilling. A great many years cable tools was king i came from that era. Wire rope was our life on spudders some called them pounders. An art very few of us left that still remember the old days of how it was done. So i have a bit of a passion and its disturbing when i see the younger generations get it wrong. Just shows the lack of education in todays society. My first real job was on one of those rigs. I spent my first 20 years doing that work till rotary improved to the point those old pounders became pretty much obsolete. They are still a few scattered about but hardly anyone uses them. Kinda sad that history and all its skills are being lost. I can remember well as deep as 8,000 feet being drilled with cable tools. I personally have worked as deep as 6,500 feet. When working at those depths with several ton of drill tool weight swinging on the end of it you learned real quick how to take care of your wore rope. I worked long enough i could be considered an expert and was often hired by others to come repair drill cable. Those were alot of years ago but i still have that knowledge even though not much call for it these days.

[@jerryparisi2885]

Ken Your Using Terminology I've Never Heard, My Experience In Rigging Was In The Logging Industry, I Only Knew What We Called The Logging Splice, (for the winch line) And A Marine Splice For Over Head Lifting. I Guess There Are A Lot More Ways To Splice A Wire Rope. It Was A Fun Time. 1966 to 1975 And 1985 to 2001. I Did Do Some Long Splices, On Small Wire Rope, It Takes A Lot Of Rope To Make That Repair. I'm Sure There Are Men Out There Still Doing It. Most People Don't Have A Clue What Rigging Is. I See It Everywhere I Go. How About You? LOL It's Been Over 50yrs Since I Frist Saw A Rigging Shop! I Enjoy Watching These Videos. Just ONE Time I Went Under Ground Over 1000' To Repair A Zink Socket.

[@kenjett2434]

@@jerryparisi2885 yep i did the logging also for a good many years after thd oil field work practically stopped. They are alot of different rigging styles for sure just not as much of it used today as they was 50 or 60 years ago. But i just wanted to show the difference between weaving a loop or deadman as we called it and a true actual splice. Taking two separate wire ropes and splicing them into one. That is what the splice means. I spent 20 years working with wire rope not much i havnt seen or done with it. So when i see things wrongly taught or misrepresented for the sake of the younger generation i try to make note of the correct way. Sadly these skills are being lost due to technology. I would add this about the splice a splice length depends one on the size of the cable and secondly the number of strands in the cable. The sizes i most often spliced was 5/8th, 3/4 and 7/8th and started at about 42 ft up to 60 ft to make the splice dividing the distance of the tucks equally for strength. Any cable smaller only require a 30 ft splice. Just some basic numbers i thought i would throw out there just in case it might help someone.

[@jonathonneaves9665]

There is an easier way to do this. We do it with one person at our shop. Open 3-1/2 times pre bend and then lock it on the side and you only have to run it 2 times. and if you use a middle mark you would know where to pit it up at and you wouldnt have to cut your tails. Not trying to take this away from you but this is a rookie way of doing that.

[@ChrisJohnson-bl1eh]

good grief guys!! can you make this any harder on yourselves? there is a much easier way

[@jonathonneaves9665]

Yes I agree.

[@mannyfresh9829]

Why do you have to cut the tails? Takes up so much time.

[@brianjohnston4207]

They took long tails so it was easier to grip. I take the shortest tails possible so the sleeve ends up practically kissing the thimble without wasting time cutting tails.

[@joem2829]

That’s a Flemish eye and a swege, now to the swege press.would be nice to see that too.

A wide detachable target on the splice collar would make it easier to drive on because the effective stroke zone would be much bigger and easier to hit, therefore transmitting more power. You have to work too hard too hit that very small area.

[@Krzy801Nav]

This how we do it. The thimbles never move or come out. Known for having lil or no space in between the sleeve & thimble.

I have hand spliced a loggers eye in 1 3/8 ". That is no 1 1/2" rope. Looks more like 1"

[@נמרודכהן-ד7ס]

1. The rope should be split to 3 strands+core & 3 strands. It's important. It does affect the strength. 2. Takes forever+a weak to make a single splice. Using an aluminium a sleeve (EN 13411-3 \ DIN 3093) takes a few minutes and is practically the same.

[@mattmckeever3802]

+נמרוד כהן By the catalogue, you are right, however turn back eyes do not inspire confidence in end users. I stand corrected on what ASME says about both turn back and aluminum sleeves. Nothing in that document demonstrates a turn back eye, or, aluminum sleeves may not be used in overhead lifting applications. My bad.

[@terathelos9446]

Aluminum has a fixed life expectancy: Unlike e.g. steel, it has no lower fatigue limit, which is to say every little bit of stress weakens it some tiny amount. Additionally, the surface oxidizes...and in the case of an aluminum sleeve, that means its grip on the cable weakens, although you might be able to seal it off post-swage to lessen or maybe even eliminate the internal oxidation (but don't quote me on that). I have never seen aluminum used on a chain or wire rope lifting sling, but I've also never checked standards documents to see if it's allowed.
