I used to work in that field commercially but I quit and then I forget it, is really nice to remember it again. Thanks for the video.

[GoBrits]

This is so much more simple than the overwrought instructions that come with Sampson fids which resulted in a loop that has no core inside the cover for part of that loop

[guillermoleal]

Thank you mate. Your skills still helping people. Take care.

[richardbenson]

You did a much better job explaining it than another video did. Thank you

[daangs]

I’ve got the Selma fids but your instructions are far easier to understand. Thanks

[ussweeneyd]

Excellent and very clearly narrated. Going to try this when I find the "fids".

[Rayzer]

Wow, that was like watching Bob Ross paint - beautiful! Thanks!

[Lfoxrealtor]

great instructions I like how you showed the splice going into the rope now I understand the strength

[carlo]

@3:16, do you put it through the core at the first or second Mark you made on the core?

[patrickjohn]

Nice work. Tried it and it worked great.

I’d like to see how to do this splice with a lead ring inside that loop!

[davidwarner]

Great video...would also like to see how to add a metal thimble.

[chuckward]

Buying a fid tonight to give it a try! Thanks.

[thombrace]

Excellent demo! Loved it! Ready to make my first double braid eye. Thanks!

[MrAuldphart]

Alex Baldwin can not only act, he can splice rope

[roxydiotte]

Hello!! thanks for the great video and instructions. Any chance you could show me how to do an eye splice without the core in the loop, please.

[page]

Please explain the FIDS as in what should I buy and why.

[forrestallison]

The only thing that sketches me out here is that nobody seems to recommend how you whiplock these spliced ends which as far as I can tell is a totally critical part of doing this so why is that always absent?

[TRzest]

There seems to be a big cut in the video between the state of the line at 4:36, and 4:37, where the eye magically appears.

[sedonaarabella]

What type of tools do you use for splicing? Can I pick that up at a local hardware store?
