This video is a how to easily and quickly splice wire rope.

I’ve done 100s if not 1000s of these in 1/4 inch to 2 inch wirerope. They are called a Flemish Eye, also known as a Molly Hogan. I’m glad to see that you pointed out that what ever method you use to secure the tail it doesn’t carry the load tape, homemade heat shrink, or wirerope clamps will all work.

Thanks for the tips, helped with my rifle sling! Cheers from Oregon

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Now I need to find a video on spicing two ends without using loops.

I used this method during my time in the U.S. Submarine Navy time. Excellent. Jim

Nice splices. Another option to finish the tail of the cable is to use a piece of copper wire wrap it round the tail and cable then use a trade flame and solder on the copper wrap. Durability is good and low melt temp on the solder does not effect the cable strength.

Great Video. I have done this before, but it has been awhile. Thanks for the refresher.

Put an eye on the cable of my Jeep winch using your video. Thanks for the help

[garyhaslam]

My father in law showed me this awhile back, one of the neatest tricks ive ever seen. Needed a refresher though! Would some ubolts on the tail be okay to add some extra security, planning to use for a zipline and wouldnt mind the belt and suspenders approach!!!

Another great vid.. keep up the good ideas mate.

[ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

I've heard this being called farmers hitch. Very strong and easy to use.

[theoztreecrasher]

Ah come on John! Don't tell me that an old boatie like you doesn't have a proper marlin spike laying around somewhere! 😜 😉

[RobHill-kwgl]

any ideas on splicing to straight lengths together to get one long length?

[uncouthboy]

Great video. Is it the same with "soft" rope?

[beickus]

i was thinking of finding some sort of clips or screws to connect wires but that seems to work...
