What an incredible video! I'm a tree guy, so ropes and splices are a part of my daily life. I watched this video twice and spliced a Samson 1/2" StableBraid first and then a Yale 5/8" Dynasorb. I'm pretty sure I've got it now... no more paying for (double braid) splices!!
but I don't know what dynasorb is, but my guess is it maybe a high strength core rope: if that is the case you would want to use a core-to-core- splice instead of this std double braid splice. I would suggest you check with Yale regarding the recommended splice.
@NewEnglandRopes Dynasorb is Yales line of rope geared towards arborist falling chunks of wood into the line. Shock absorbancy characteristics reduce shock loading on the rigging sytem and the climber etc... Still a Class 1 line with the cover/ core core/cover method being the recommend one for an eye splice. Some manufacturers differ on small details like fid legth and taper method but this is BY FAR the most thorough and understandable tutorial available online! Great job!
Thank you so much Andy! I have been trying to follow diagrams & getting in a muddle. Making lead ropes... did my first splice beautifully, but forgot to put the clip snap in, LOL!!!!!!!
With a bit more practice I'm sure I will get the hang of it... you made it easy!
Bravo, très bonne explication, ça longtemps que j'essayai sans succès. Après avoir visionné cette très explicite vidéo, je n'ai plus de problème pour faire ce type d'épissure.
I have to say i LOVE this video, and respect the elderly gentleman :-)
Just made my first double braid splice BUT forgot to splice around what it needed to be attatched to. Now I have a useless but perfect eyesplice haha. I will have to have another go... Thanks for a great video. Best regards from Denmark
Once again this gentleman is great at explaining this splice in a simple manner. By far the best video that I have come across on the web. His New England accent is Great!
I agree with the other comments. I have searched for weeks and this is the best instructions I have found on splicing yet. I did my first splice last night with NO problems.... except for a blister or two.... much easier than trying to read the directions from paper or pdf file! THANKS!!
This guy is GREAT !!!!! I am just starting to learn how to splice and I have searched the internet for days on the subject and this is the BEST video. I wish this guy could do more videos on other types of splices. You are the BEST....Thanks so much for posting this.
that man needs a promotion. this is greatest demonstration i have seen so far. after watching this 50 times im getting pretty proficient in eye splicing.
Very nice demonstration. There are several double braid splicing demos online but, speaking as a beginner, this one is superior in its teaching technique. It doesn't go too quickly so as to make pausing between steps easy. I really enjoy watching pros do this kind of work. Another online demo shows a fellow doing this splice so fast as to make one's head spin. Great entertainment, but hard to disect for learning purposes. Thank you very much for providing such quality instruction.

sounds good , particularly the stable braid rope
but I don't know what dynasorb is, but my guess is it maybe a high strength core rope: if that is the case you would want to use a core-to-core- splice instead of this std double braid splice. I would suggest you check with Yale regarding the recommended splice.

@dunn2all looks like 12 inches.... if you compare it to the rule at the edge of the bench. Though I think the exact length is arbitary

You should make video tutorials for all types of splices shown on your website.
