Hi Redart789, thank you for your positive feedback. Some lines are very rigid and it can take a while to get the core out. (In this video we choose a rope which is very easy to splice). The first step in a rigid line is to make point B less rigid, so move it around for about a minute or so and it will become a lot softer. Then use a fid or a splicing needle to 'open up' the line. Stick the needle in without damaging the rope itself and make some room, then pick out the core. Good luck!

My friends pops is an old school splicer for 40yrs. He builds these tables and they have everything you would need built in. Measurements, melter, needle holders , marker holders, and a radio w TV. I grew up watching him at his craft and even though it's a dying trade it's amazing. We live in New Bedford, Mass so plenty of boats and splicing still

Of all the demonstrations I have seen this one makes the most sense. Good job! You even use the same set of fids I have. Thanks you for taking the time to show us novices how-to. Having the proper equipment and work area set up ahead of time will make this much easier. I have subscribed.

I actually watched this (thx for the upload) and in conjunction with a pamphlet I have now tied this eye splice dozens of times for work and for my own use on boats. Yeah it takes a little practise but once you get it they are a lot of fun to tie and look awesome (plus of course the functionality). You can tie these with a thimble too and they are excellent for anchors, etc. All you need is the correct jacketed rope and the corresponding size Fid (that special rod he is using) is also important. Any sail shop can set you up. I simply use an awl, fid, needle with nylon thread, and very sharp Olfa-style knife (I wrap masking tape around the cut point first it makes an easier cut). I have even tied rings with a very similar method. I suggest gloves are great for when pulling it out because hands can get kind of raw with the nylon rope. As another commenter mentioned, it is good to use a whipping stich needle and nylon thread or it can come apart. Use only top quality rope it's worth every penny!

Thanks so much, works perfect every time. I was even able to splice on a snap hook by sliding it over the outer at 2:30 the pushing the inner through it at 3:30. Hope this helps someone else.

One of my first assignments after commissioning was as 1st Lt. on a destroyer. I was always impressed by the marlinspike skills of the boatswain's mates assigned to my division. Unfortunately my ship was decommissioned just a few months into my assignment and I didn't get an opportunity to pick up on these skills.

An eye splice reduces the working load with 10% on average (a knot with ~50%). On PremiumRopes we have specified all breaking strength per rope. You can certainly put a carabiner in the eye splice.

wow, this is so much more simple than I imagined. Nearly as easy as twisted rope. Thanks!

Excellent video, thankyou!
So easy to follow and glad there's no overexplaining audio.
I also struggled with there not being enough space in my rope but got there with force and blisters in the end! Looking forward to trying again with better rope :)
