You are excellent in taping each strand with different colour. You are the best demonstrator. Best of all.

This is the easiest to understand tutorial on eye slicing that I've found on YouTube. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!

Thank you Sir for taking the time with the colored tape. That was, what my brain needed. I got it now.

[johnbaxter]

I watched several tutorials and spent hours trying to follow the instructions without success. This video simplified the steps, made them intuitive, and within 5 minutes, I FINALLY achieved a perfect eye splice! THANK YOU!

First eye splice video (I have seen several) that I can realistically consider giving a thumbs up. The color coded strands were a real help.

[bowlineobama]

Thanks for color coding the strands. It is easier to follow that way. You made it easier to understand.

BY far the best splicing video. Other people were using words like left and right and changing to top and bottom. Thanks so much

Just as others have commented, this was so clear an explanation/demonstration. Other videos left me confused and frustrated for hours and now In 5 minutes I get it, thanks from a new subscriber!

I've been trying to understand this for a while and I'm glad I found your video. Color coded strands and rotating the work as you did make a huge difference in understanding the eye splice. Thank you.

Best tutorial I've seen. The coloured bits help at lot but MOSTLY other tutes talk about center strand, left and right but you just picked any and TURNED the rope around to go under the next bit! GREAT explanation!

[burnerjack]

Best eye splice tutorial I've seen. And I've seen a bunch! Good job.

[MelSJackson]

Brilliant. I think the turning over of the rope as each strand was threaded was the key to me being able to understand the technique . Thank you.

This is the only tutorial that took me to the finish line. Thank You!!!

Really a good starter video to figure out how to get the pattern started. I don't use tape at all, I use heat shrink and at the ends, I leave it a little long so it shrinks down to form a point so it's easier to weave it through. With tape, it always wants to push apart and make it harder to weave. Keep up the great work.

This is the best video on this subject I could find! Thanks for saving me time and frustration. The key was the color code and rotating each time.
