My Dad (❤RiP) had this down pat. All our ropes had these or tidy spliced ends, and I regret not getting him to teach me. Thank you for this clear and concise tutorial; today is the day I finally learned how to do it!

Exactly what I thought😢. My Dad did that splicing for all ropes on his sailing boat and took me to sailing Trips on a lake . I never asked hin to teach me splicing and now as a 50+ year old woman I need to learn from YT.

Ditto.

My grandfather taught me how to do this 45 years ago, I was 8. Somehow I figured out how to do this about 25 years later from memory. Now I've totally forgotten how to weave the ends. Thank for explaining it like my grandfather did so many years ago. It all came back to me as soon as you started. Thank you for reminding me of a special memory of a little boy and his grandfather..

Exactly my thoughts as well... My granddad passed away when I was young. He taught me rope work Knott's and leather work. good comment.

I am a retired merchant marine bosun, good job very clear instructions.

The ropes are durable and just like the ones at the gym. kzread.infoUgkxTFxba6lNeHrZaHoY_LXe6ZzmMfaipnwu Caution: I bought the 50 feet ropes and they are long and heavy so make sure you have the space (I do have the space). If I was to do it again I would probably get a shorter version as 50 feet (25 feet each side) is a little long.

This is a great help. One thing I did was color the ends of each strand to keep them straight as I was weaving.

Everytime I need to splice I always come back to this video. The easiest most basically explained splicing video there is 👌

Thank you for doing this video. I learned this from my grandfather. It will be a lost art if we don’t teach the next generation 👍🏻

Finally...someone who knows how to keep his hands out of the way while teaching. Best video on this . Thanks you so much!

My father used to do these splicing knots, but I have not learned. He passed away so many years ago. I was looking for how to do these knots for many years! Thank you very much for teaching.

The clearest demo' for an eye-splice I've ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

That's the clearest instructions I've seen on the eye splice. Thank you!

This is a great tutorial. Splices are won or lost on the first tucks. This explains really well how to make the first tuck correctly.

I used to do these in scouts. We got pretty good at it, but sadly I'd forgotten how to do it. Thanks for the refresher. And thanks for the reminder of a great memory.

This brought back an old memory. Back in 1973 my sister had a horse. She had some manilla 3 strand, so I spliced an eye with a spring loaded clip on the eye. She used it for years to clip the horse to a tree while she brushed or saddled him up. Sure I could have tied it on with a knot, but the splice is much more elegant!

At last . . .!! . . an easy to follow splicing video ! I've watched several and always struggled with the content . . . and the delivery. (Especially the yank ones !) This has done it for me. Thank you so much . . now up and running, complete with Swedish fid which makes it even easier. Still have this on watch list . . . just in case !😀

We eye-spliced a halyard back on to a fire service extension ladder. We took colored markers to color each of the three strands differently making it easy to trace. Worked very well. Then we discovered we cut our rope too short. Practice makes perfect they say. Thanks for your tutorial!

I really like your presentation style. Clear, no nonsense, no fanfare, no fluff with simple demonstrations. Thanks to you, I can now splice an eye in the end of a rope. Well done. Subscribed.

Learnt this in Boy Scouts, and taught it to others in the Navy. Good job. My appreciation to you.

Best 3strand splice video I seen.

Thanks WhyNot. I was really struggling to eye splice a 16mm nylon mooring line for my boat & even the web pages with images weren't very clear. Your video got me on the right track & I ended up with a great new line with eye splices at both ends to replace an old one that was almost worn through. Great tutorial!

Glad it worked out for you.

Thank you! So very helpful. My husband asked me to do this and I wanted to do it right😊

Just did an eye splice on my anchor line . Clear and concise instructions made it a breeze .

Thank you! You saved my life

I want to hang an old ladder from the ceiling in my house with a jute. Watched the video twice and tried my first splice. Husband said it was a good as many he'd seen on boats. Thanks for easy(ish) and clear instructions. I'm confident!

I see so many people doing it upside down. On the fishing vessel I worked on in Alaska they taught us to flip it around and hook the loop over something so you can pull it tight tight. Trying to pull away from you tighten a splice is never as effective as toward you and tightness is importanto. Thanks for the vid

Boy Scout 101 when I was 12. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for showing others how to do it.

Thanks for your video so I know how to make a loop . I'm so happy when I finish my robe without you I won't do it. And thanks to KZread. Thanks

Thank you come across this while hunting for instructions on how to re cord the close line found this much more useful and relaxing. She can hang the towels over the hand rail im getting myself a beer and some rope. Have a great day cheers

Just wanted to say thank you !! Best video I could find on how to do this splice.

Great video, decades ago whilst attending aircraft maintenance trade school we were taught this (including steel control cables which was really prickly), as well the back splice, which I'm all way's forgetting how to start with the proper "crown knot", so I'm subscribing just for those "old timer's" moment's :) !

Clearest, simple and concise instructions. Thank you.

Worked in the fishing industry for 40 years and spliced many a ropes my father taught me when i was young

Excellent explanation. Also, I clicked the video expecting to hear another US-American speak, but your awesome 'Strayan accent put a smile on my face!

Thanks for posting. I had learned this 20+ years ago while in the USCG but over the years I had forgotten. How to start the splice. After a few minutes of your video it all came back to me. Thanks for rebooting my memory.

Cheers Mate, I now have my trailer ropes all sorted. Easy to follow.

Clear, well done instructions. Picked up some good points by watching someone do this.

I just spent hours trying to do a "Pro Splice" as described by Brion Toss in his book. This is much, much easier to follow!

Great tutorial mate, very easy and clear to understand. Thank you. Regards Scott.

Nice Video I haven't done this since I was a kid and my dad showed me. I needed one and totally forgot how to do this **correctly** great tutorial and brings back memories of dad showing me....

Scouts was a long, long time ago. Thank ya sir, for the refresher.

Clear Concise and No Bullshit. You are a gift from God, thank you.

This was the absolute best and easiest video to follow. THANK YOU 🙏

Excellent job teaching a slightly difficult knot, Thank you

Great stuff. Best eye splice tutorial I've found. Just added splices to some 5/8" Sisal to make a fresh tie-out for my doggo!

I was looking for this method for jewelry. Thank you for posting this

That was very helpful and I have now got the fenders on my boat attached by neatly spliced eyes instead of the untidy knots I had before. Might I suggest though, that the three strands are identified some way - maybe different coloured PVC tape around the ends, as it is otherwise pretty easy to mix them up as you go.

Great job. Takes me back to my scouting days. Thanks for sharing.

finally, someone that has figured out how to show this technique with the correct camera angle. Thank you

the best explaination of a splice i have seen

Thank you! I have seen this knot but never knew how to make one, now I have an idea! Thanks again.

It’s the one down on the right third strand I always failed to remember. Figured it out. Thanks.

That was the clearest instruction I've seen so far. Thanks.

Best instructional video on the subject. Thank you!

Nice! This allowed my to splice the rudder ropes on our Gig! Thank you!

Super easy to understand! Very good explanation, thank you!

Really clear explanation... and nice to finally hear an Aussie using the metric system. Of course, I just HAD TO SUBSCRIBE. Cheers from Broken Hill, Rolf

Thank you ! Finally ! I did it thanks to you !

Nice and clear. I have done hundreds of eye splices in double and single braid I think I’ll try it in 3 strand. Thanks.

Perfect. Thank you from France

Perfect 👍 I just followed your steps and spliced two loops in my rope first time 🤙🤙🤙

Great video, I'm about to make some tricep rope attachments for my gym/weights setup and this has helped hugely! Thankyou 👍

Great video! I'll be watching this one multiple times!

I've been braiding these for years and your demonstration is correct and easy to follow. Thank you!

THANK YOU! I'm teaching knots to a group of teen Pathfinders (similar to Scouts but co-ed) and myself, and we were struggling with our splices. This video was very easy to follow when we couldn't get it through other instructional tutorials. We're now searching your channel for the Matthew Walker's or Double Crown knots.

Thanks WhyKnot. I been doing some of these wrong and some correct. Couldn't figure out why. It was the 3rd step. I was putting all the strands forward instead of the 3rd (right strand) one down and back. Finished product put it on the floor and roll it with your shoe. It'll help the strands flatten out and fall in place.

Thank you, key part for me was the start and identifying middle, left and right! Cheers buddy

Brilliantly Explained.

Excellent job. You explained slowly enough to follow and didn't say "Easy peasy" once. Everything is easy when you know how but not until then. Thank you!

Work perfect for me ,, you made it very clear on the starting point which was giving me trouble thnx very much.. )

One of the best splicing vids.

Best video I have seen on braiding rope. My first one looked like a pro did it.

superb...Thanks to your detailed and very clear video...finally managed to do a splice

Great video, easy to follow, thanks.

hey thanks a lot for this. by far the best tutorial on this!

Really good video! Thanks! Now the whole family can splice ropes.

REALLY well done tutorial. Period. Thanks!

omg pfff FINALLY, i live in Belgium and searched for a splicing video in my country, but they all sucked and were unclear, thank you very much for this video, it finally succeeded! tomorrow i have my exam ! :D

Easy peasy. Eye splice squeezy

Very much explained I am splicing my own birthing rope myself through your Chanel. Mark Bezzina Malta

Just what I needed. I'd forgotten how to do it! Great explanation :)

Thanks for the nice clear video. Very good! :-)

Thank you, managed to get a 30cm rope spliced thanks to this vid!

brilliant description and easy to follow thanks for your time

thanks WhyKnot… couldn't follow what others were saying but your tutorial was easy as

What a great demo. So simply presented. Thx & liked.

Very clear instruction. Thanks. I have often made a pigs ear of it in the past!
