Back splice

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to do a back splice, a handy way of finishing an end of a rope.

Enjoy the video!

My dad once spliced a rope holding a boat on the sea. The thick rope was clearly torn and not well-taken care of. My dad, not knowing who oned the boat, untied the rope and started splicing it. I thought it was the coolest thing how he could make that old rope look nice again.
He then proceeded to tie the rope back where it was. I bet the boat owner was really happy when he realized he didn't have to struggle with that mess of a rope anymore! I'm glad I found a video to teach me what my dad did :D

I have been looking for this for many years! My Dad and Grandfather used to make lead ropes for the horses using this as the end knot. I thought I would never learn their secret! Thank you for sharing!❤

I forgot how to make this back splice. Years, many years ago I could do this. Thanks for reteaching.

I'm watching this with the sound off because the missus is watching the news, and I can still follow it perfectly and can tell that the voiceover must be really detailed! Thanks, am looking forward to watching it with the sound on–if I need to, that is!! Well done.
