Brummel lock-splice with one side fixed

[raypierce]

That method is good. I was always taught to use 3 1/2 fid lengths for the bury and a MUCH longer taper. I do agree that Selma fids are the best but I invert the loop before passing the other loop through. I invert it, use a regular fid to widen the hole then take a piece of bailing wire about 6 “ long, fold it in half then place one leg through my loop and the ends into the top off the fid and push it through. It’s been the most elegant method I’ve found and teach it at all of my workshops.

Thanks to Brion Toss of Port Townsend WA who invented this, and sadly passed today from cancer. We'll miss him.

I used this video last night with 1.75 mm Zing-it! Works great. Thanks for sharing!

[phedders]

Brilliantly simple way to do it. Thanks for the clear video.

This is the clearest easiest method I've seen for a free-end only locked brummel. I'm using 9/64 AmSteel.

Used a BIC pen as I don't have the special needles. Worked perfectly.

Love the video. Clear and easy.

What is the music? I really like it

This is great! Interestingly I watched another video where the guy slowly talks through the method, but at the most important part he did it too quickly and I couldn't see what he had done!

Nice work. For another approach that appears to be to the same end (no pun intended), also see; McDonald Brummel, Grogs Knots. Full sails and fair winds!

Really easy to follow and got it right first time Thanks

[robertkowalski]

I've been doing these for years but have never figured out how to figure how much shorter the line will be after you burry the tail. Anybody know how to do that?

[mrkultra]

Damn nice work. I’m thinking that this method might work with paracord?

[guszavos]

Great Video - thanks for the details!!! Would this be just as easy on a 3/8 inch winch rope?

[Xadoras]

Do I need 50xDiameter for the splice, when i do a overhand knot directly on the loop?

[brookscrouse]

What is the tool that grabs the line and pulls it back through at the end? That's not just a "pusher" is it? Do most pushers have the grabbing capability? Thanks for this video, btw. Excellent stuff.

[roryferrier]

This is really helpful but how do you do splice a block on with one end fixed. Any help appreciated.

[longrangeaddict]

What if I didn’t take the “twist” out bc I did everything else I just didn’t pull the eye back through to get the twist out.. will it hold okay with the twist or do I need to redo all my sticks? I hope not bc that’s gonna suck. That for the video

Is tapering the core purely cosmetic, or is it vital to the strength of the knot

[HaIPeHaOP]

There is no way to pull my line through itself (the last step) it's just waaay to tight :/ I ended up splitting the line to two halves and cutting one of them off, then pulling through what was left. It's not very smooth but still better than leaving it loose.

[elevatemindset]

@premium ropes how can i make one on both ends, also can i increase the bury length by double for cosmetic reasons? thanks.
