Уважаемый микко, я бывший моряк из России ... узнаю твои умелые руки. Ты хороший и настоящий боцман ❤ подписался на канал будем общаться... мир дому твоему

I worked I'm the oilfields of Texas. I drove a specialized truck that was designed to spool of 9/16" Sandline/Swab line. I would add new wire rope to existing rope by making a 40' splice. It would consist of 9 tucks about 6 feet apart. The tucks would serve to replace the inner fiber core with wire rope. During the busy years about 35 years ago, I would work on anywhere from 10 to 30 workover or drilling rigs a week. I even was sent to Siberia to train Russians that were working in BP chemical plants. I close my eyes to sleep some nights and replay the splices in my mind.

I always come back to this video. Thx

Nicely done, now try doing one through a larger rope e.g. a jackstay!! Once sat in the bosun’s store and made a lovely grommet, only to realise I’d forgotten to to reeve it through the jackstay!!! Felt a right fool!! 🤣

Thoroughly enjoyed this and will certainly try it. Simple but lovely and practical. Thank you so much.

Nice video. I loved your tools. Thanks

Starting in the middle! That’s what I’ve been doing wrong. That hot water technique is excellent. Thanks for another great video.

It goes as well to start in the end. Just a little less work, if you start in the middle.

Looking forward to having a go at this Mikko. Thanks.

Excellent the neat finishing always had me beat while making rope stropped blocks thank you.

Man, mikko snellman, it is so satisfying to watch you work and to see what you do with the rope and things that you work with. My daddy was a woodworker and my mama started working with wood also while I was a young girl. I really love to watch people with a knowledgeable craft work with their hands!

A very cool video. I was just looking at how to make wooden blocks for rigging my sailboat and didn't like the metal used to wrap around the block to hold it. These grommets are just the thing to hold the block and with an eye seized into it gives it a place to attach to the boom or other places. Thank you for your time and trouble to show how this is done. (oh yes and try keeping your hands in the camera frame more please)

Your solution to finishing is excellent. Over twisting and pulling harder does not work as cleanly.

Becket: a loop of rope or similar device for securing loose items on a ship.

Used to use this method for making deck quoits, slightly larger rope though. Very impressed with those side cutters, I've got several pairs for cutting wire and plastic etc., but none of them will cut rope with the ease that yours does, have you sharpened especially for the task?

You need to fasten tails somehow. Half knot holds a while but this is the proper way.

I don't really understand what you mean?

I've had success making small grommets, but I am having trouble making a large one (20") for a rope-stropped ditty bag. I'm using the New England polyester that looks like hemp, but is much softer and doesn't hold its lay very well. Very difficult to make it lay neatly and I invariably get a vicious twist in it. What kind of rope are you using, or would you suggest for such a large grommet? Thanks!

@mikkosnellman

4 жыл бұрын

Hi John. Polyester or other man made fibers usually don´t hold the lay very well. My recommendation would be good quality natural fiber rope made from single ply yarns. Manila and sisal hold the lay very well and even hard laid hemp or jute.

@johnalmberg7512

4 жыл бұрын

@@mikkosnellman Yes, I tried your hot-water soak trick on my last effort. It helped a bit to get the twist out, but not enough. I'm going to give up on polyester and try a natural fiber. Another problem is getting the finished grommet to be the right size. Mine have ended up too small, somehow. Ah well, that's why they call it 'practice'. Thanks!
