Eye Splice One End Fixed - Version 2

The Eye or Brummel splice on single braid rope is one of the most useful skills you can add to your rigging tool kit. When you know the length rope and both end of the rope are free it is simple and easy to do.

See the following demonstration for when both end are free.

When one end is fixed, you are splicing a really long length of rope or if you are simply working off a spool of rope you need to modify your approach to create the eye splice.

The Brummel or Eye splice with one end fixed can be as simple as the version where the ends are not fixed if you follow the three easy steps in this video demonstration.

Step 1, measure out your eye size and create two wholes in the rope.
Step 2, create two loops in the eyes created in step 1.
Step 3, pull the first loop through the second before burying the tail.

This version of the eye splice allows you to have eyes at both ends of any length of rope fastening one end to a fixed point as needed.

If i bury 10 ft of line in 10 ft of another and lock it in is my line now twice as strong?

Your forgetting to take the twist out before you tuck the tail
