Splicing Tips:
- If you are splicing a natural fiber rope we recommend 3 full sets of tucks instead of 5 when splicing synthetic rope.
- A splicing fid can make the process much easier
- The more rigid/stiff the rope is, the more difficult it can be to splice

Dad taught me splices when I was a kid. He won competitions for splices in the Navy and the electric utility company he worked for. I've made tow straps, dog leashes, rope ladders. I have a dog leash now with two handles, a choke up loop and a loop for attaching a second leash. People have been puzzled by it and asked me if they can look at it.

Looks like I’ve gotta go buy some rope and start splicing!

4:11 the metal tool was called a fid, it's purpose it to easy the separation of one strand from the three to tuck the one underneath.
This pen, is being used as a Marline spike, which effectively does the same thing, just a different design, but works very well on wire rope/cable, where the fid is not strong enough to handle the force required to separate cable.
