    You have the best tutorial on how to splice a rope with the colour coded instruction ever seen on on KZread. It make the knowledge learning instantly and correctly to where each strand of rope goes to intertwined. This is how a tutorial should be especially for layman like us.

    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!

    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 was amazing! I've always been mystified by this skill, but the way you explained it, with the colours and all, simplified it by MAGNITUDES. I'm actually confident that If I watch this two more times I can do it. The only thing you didn't mention though is how much of the rope to run out before you start splicing, or how strong the splice is when you're done.

    Well that's made a simple task ridiculously easy. I actually felt the penny drop on the third insert. everyone else I've seen works sideways and then, after two strands says, "now for the hardest step" while changing hands and rotating the work like a three card trick. You hold the rope vertical and repeat the same action three times while rotating the rope clockwise. Reset by rotating anti clock and repeat. I don't know how I (or they) managed to complicate things - but now I'm fixed. Many thanks!

    This was better than the last video I watched on the eye splice. The guys hands blocked the view of what he was doing. Good job. I have a question about older hemp ropes. Can they be reconditioned so they don't break as easily, or do they need to be replaced?
