Most eye splice instructions have you tuck in first one side then turn the splice over and repeat. This type is different. Unravel as much as you think you will need plus 50%. Tie off the running end and whip the ends of the individual strands. Tuck the middle strand under a lay of the rope first. The strand on the left of that is tucked under the lay behind the first tuck. Now the splice is turned over and the remaining running end is tucked under so that all three running strands are coming out at the same level on the standing part. Each strand goes over the lay next to it and under the following. Three courses is sufficient. Whip or taper to finsih.

  • Many thanks!Your instructions are uncomplicated and clear.Are you able to give instructions for a right angle splice? From a book / manual perspective, this seems like something better left for a You-Tube presentation like this one.

  • Have you any reference materials on the splice you mean? There are so many splices and at least twice as many names.

  • Simple when you are shown how -- great

  • thanks - most of the illustrations are just not quite right. I have had a lot of fun with rope and thimbles for the boat.

  • Thanks that was a good example but is it the same as a regular splice?

  • Not really but the procedure is the same. Usually this is done by just weaving the strands inline. This is a bit different and, I think, a bit smoother.

  • At last, someone who does it the same way as I do. I was getting worried. First shown how to splice by an old Portsmouth dockyard rigger. "Always start with the middle stand, nipper" lol

  • This is a GREAT VIDEO! Very informative, clear and easy to understand. Thank you!

  • Love this video. All the other videos I've seen are confusing and leave out small bits of information that make it very difficult to learn.

  • Watch"'`It`,"Now,`"

    WWW.STREAMMOVIESHERE.TK

    Simply,,`Copy."`&,,`Paste`'.

  • once you get each strand into the correct spot its gravy!

  • isnt it easier to lynch the niger i mean...boat to the tree i mean ... post with a slipknot

  • Very good demo. I eye splced two 3/4" lines for a chicago style mooring harness a couple of years ago and need to replace. This method was much easier. Made an almost perfect splice the first time and only took a few minutes.

  • thank you very helpful

  • thanks!!!

    i've learned a lot..--great
