Spoke with Phil this morning to purchase a 100 ft. - 3 strand rope with eyesplice to use as a bull rope with my Maasdam rope puller winch.
His professionalism and product knowledge made me feel confident buying it, along with his good pricing.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video and learned alot--you make it look easy.
Keep the videos coming!

Hi, watching your video brought back an awesome memory of my dad - He was a sailor and Captain in Holland and I used to watch him splice all sorts of ropes, I found it fascinating as a child and I would be mesmerized.
Cheers for sharing this with us all.
Keep safe where you are.

My 5 year old has an indoor swing that he's used so much that the ropes needed to be replaced. I bought some three-strand 3/8" nylon rope to replace the original, but couldn't find suitable rope clips locally. I toyed with several solutions, but it seemed like splicing an eye was the best / safest.

My practice splice took 20-30 minutes as I re-watched parts of this video, but it came out better than I expected. After doing four "real" splices on the new ropes (I did both ends so I could add tensioners), I was doing them much faster and didn't need to watch the video anymore. I finished the splices with electrical tape and then heat shrink tubing. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the result.

Would it have been cheaper and easier to just buy a new swing? Absolutely! But now I know how to splice rope, which is surprisingly satisfying work. If I do it again I won't use nylon rope. I chose it since it was soft to the touch and had a higher weight rating then other similar sized rope on the shelf. Unfortunately it's a little too stretchy for this application IMO, but probably fine for a kids weight.

Thanks for the great video!

I watched several videos to figure this out and this one was the easiest to follow. Thanks.

Something I've always seen, but never knew how it really worked! Very cool

[Billywhizzer]

Brilliant video, I watched 3 other videos before this, the explanation of the start was perfect, none of the others came anywhere close to your video, thank you, 👏👏👏 from UK 👍

Yes! The twisting of the tucked fibers. 👀Great pro style demo.

For an educational “not instructional” this was the best instructional vid I saw so far.. 😁 guess this is just legal mambo jambo. Well done

[KRache]

Thank you, I was having a really hard time understanding !! I’m getting grade on this splice this week, will let you know how it goes.

Just wanted to say, hi and thank you for the video. I'm a pro rigging splicer at Iron Street Rope Rigging, aka WesSpur. I mostly build aborist rigging lines, flip lines, ring slings (etc) and amsteel II + crane slings. This 3 strand splice looks like fun. It's the kind of rope I think we all grew up playing with.

I’m in my mid 40s. First video that’s perfectly explained how to do it with less talking. 4/8/2023

To really finish it off squeeze it a couple times and roll it on a hard surface, really smooths it out.

Great and helpful video. I think I will finally try this myself. I can't help myself on the following and I apologize in advance for being a grammar weirdo. "Over top"? It should be "over the top". There I said it.

[unbekannternr.]

You make it look so easy, thx for showing!!!
