So far, you are the best at showing the hardest part....doing the first 3 tucks

My Dad was an At&t Long Lines Cable splicer by profession . He could make ANY splice look easy !
He could make this EYE splice on rope or cable in about 2 Minutes ! It takes me 10 to 15 mins .
He did not need any taped ends or marks anywhere either, to complete it . And I Never saw Any one of them fail, or come apart : ) Cheers

I did them in the coast guard and to completely finish it we would tuck the 2nd and 3rd tails into the rope until the ends were all on the same side and then trim excess flush and on nylon would melt ends and smooth out the rope on hemp rope, we would whip the ends to finish to keep the rope from unraveling. To determine rope eye size we would fold rope with enough tail to complete splice with loop as big as needed or desired for rope size.

Great video. I was an instructor in the ARMY and teaching this is NOT easy. Used to slice steel wire ropes, also not easy to teach. Well done.

As with most splicing, or 'knots' videos the hard to see white on white on white becomes bewildering in EXACTLY what you are doing. Positions of each strand are thoroughly lost.

NOW - if you were to find 3 same diameter and different colored twist ropes, take all 3 apart and rebuild 3 ropes (2 for later) with tri-colored strands and THEN 'whip' the bitter ends with corresponding colored electricians tape THEN you would have an easily understood demonstration tool.

Yeah, I "Learned the Ropes" from a professional, nautical rope and cable splicer on the Philadelphia docks when I was 11 years old - almost 65 years ago - and never, ever 'lost it'. Everything from 1/4" to 2" hawsers

I was surprised you didn't mention using a Fid. Easy to make and it makes splicing fast and easy.

I was taught that three full repetitions were all that were needed on a full strength eye splice (Hemp or Nylon) and that your rolling of the finished splice between the hands "sort-a was OK", but the preferred way to set the finished rope work was to drop it on the floor and roll it with your foot for one or two seconds with just enough weight to change the set to the new configuration.

I learned to splice rope when I was about 16. Self taught. Eyes, Ends. Butt and poly splicing. Every rope I have ever owned was spliced as soon as a got it. I love doing it. 👍👍

Thanks so much for sharing this useful knowledge Insya'Allah.

You could also taper the splice, by splitting the ends of the finished splice, in half then tuck one half of the rope one more time.

I loved sitting on deck making mooring lines. Three strand was easy, double braided line takes practice.

[frankbama]

Well dadgummit I can't do this. I don't have Jameson scissors.

[speyman]

Very well done and it is really easy to follow along..Thanks for the video..

The John Wayne analogy has really helped me with the most difficult part of this splice.

[ChuckD]

We made lanyards at summer camp. That should prepare me for this task. Sadly that was about 55 years ago.
; ' )
Thanks, looks very easy.

[keithprinn]

great instruction, learnt once more than ten years ago but lack of use meant I forgot lol

[garbo]

Years ago where I worked we had an average length box car that we had to pull up a slight hill to line up the next roof fill lid. We used a 11/4" thick 125'rope to think they called it a windlgress. Would wrap 5 wraps around it then start it up. Would break at least once a month and only guy who could splice like the one you did was a retired navy guy. Guys would try using a two halve hitch and would break before moving box car an inch. You make a difficult job look easy. Thanks

[oldmanriver]

I would like to see you splice an 8 in scomfrnce tugboat tow rope that way without using a fid!

[michaelfoort]

The third tuck is the key and the part of all instructions that are never clear enough

For friends siding which is about 30 ft long 10 ft high….will use 2 gal pump sprayer, eyeball some bleach, add Dawn, spray….then use long handle scrub brush like for washing big rig…then scrub and rinse away 👍🏻👊🏻🫵🏻
