How to do a Yale Whiplock

I demonstrate how to do a Yale Whiplock on a double-braid eye splice. This is a common method used for lockstitching a splice so it cannot work loose.

Eric...Thank you for the high resolution video and the detailed explanation of a whiplock. Best I've seen on YouTube.

Mant Thanks! great video my first whip lock was a success ! I've done lock stitching and whip locks before but it was methods I made up ! yours is much better!

[JoseRGarcia-JRG]

Thank you sooo much... Sir that lesson was so very helpful because I had a sense this lock was simple enough but had not found a tutorial such as yours, ..
Again thank you for your patience and clarity sharing this stitch.. Good luck to you ... Joe

Great video buddy! I like this method a lot more then just a typical standard run of the mill whip 😁

Wow really great video and explanation

[schwartztekllc]

Thanks for your clear and detailed splicing instructions! I have my first spool of rope coming - Samson Vortex 1/2" and so I'll be learning to splice soon. Seems that I need not search any further for good instruction.

Thank you for taking you time to xplan the process,

[SailingAngus]

nicely done I will try this to sieze the Chaffer Tubing on my YALE LUGGER LINE mooring tops like the way you balance the siezing

The stuff I am using in this video is waxed whipping twine that is sold by Wesspur. They sell a 100' piece for about $12. It is approximately 1mm diameter. However, whipping twine comes in all kinds of colors and sizes. For example, if you google on "Marlow Whipping Twine" you will see that they make a variety of sizes and colors. They recommend #2 twine for small cordage, and #4 twine for most climbing ropes. For large ropes they recommend #8 or #16 twine.

Again you have the best videos for rope, thanks for your time, how long have you been doing it,

Hello Mr Forsman, I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, there all so professional & so informative on the rope splicing procedures, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. just have one question, I’m having trouble finding a good needle to do my whiplocking with, could you please share your needle type & where I could one..
