The colored ends were a game changer! It made it so much easier to keep track of what went where. My first splice is a massive success!

I believe if I apply myself I can do it provided what you just taught i just saved to watch later and will be coming back to do this

Sadly, just like all the other vid's I've watched. There just isn't enough close up "visual" detail of how to make the first set of tucks.

Love the use of the color, it made it much easier to follow. THANKS

Are you being facetious, or were you reviewing a different video? In mine, it was all white.

Easy to follow and very clear. Now I have to wrap the ends as it’s cotton rope….

Nice succinct video; some of the others go on for 15 minutes! That loose-twist nylon is great to splice without needing a fid or anything, but it's particularly hard to follow in a video, because the working yarns come untwisted, and it looks like a mess of spaghetti where they cross. Something which would make it MUCH easier to follow would be if you could dye the individual yarns each a different color (though I don't know if it's actually even possible).

OK vid. Misses the fact you have to stay at the same level and rotate the rope enough to ensure you are tucking under 1.2.3 stands at the same level. A big mistake is trend up moving up the live part rather than rotating it and then ending up crossing 2 tucks. If that makes sense..... close ups would be better and marking the strands 1 2 3 I find helps... I'm a beginner so pointing out what I learnt from doing!!

You may damage the rope with the heat gun as ypu show it. Besides from that - great video.

There are Coast Guard questions about using a "back tuck" in synthetic rope, but there's nothing about it in the Seaman's Manual. All I can find is that guide after guide repeats the same line, verbatim: "for heavy applications or towing, a back tuck should be used," without any further explanation. Hopefully your channel is still active, or someone who knows will see this...

@E-rigging 7 күн бұрын

This is an excellent question. We're interested to see if anyone in the comments knows the specific guidelines for splicing three-strand rope in regards to US Military practices. Back tucking is a great way to ensure the last tuck doesn't fall out during use. This is a great option when you either don't have a heat-gun, lighter, or hot knife on hand, or when the job prohibits artificially heating the strands. In efforts to mitigate risk, some industries require heatless splicing since there's a chance load bearing strands could be damaged in the splicing process. However, as long as the heat is localized, heating the dead ends has a minimal effect on the working load limit of the spliced line. Hope this helps!

@Vinemaple 7 күн бұрын

@@E-rigging Yeah, but, what, do you just tuck the strands backwards? Against the lay, I assume, but under what?

@bARBORoja 9 ай бұрын

Firing a heat gun directly at the rope cannot be good for the structural integrity of the rope. Hot knife is a far safer bet.

@MrSvenskaFlicka 11 ай бұрын

You said clockwise then you went counter clockwise

@E-rigging 11 ай бұрын

Yes, that would be correct from the splicer's perspective. It all depends if you're holding the rope from the splice (like we are) or from the standing end. Better wording would be to rotate the rope opposite the way the strands lay.

@markmarkw1919 6 ай бұрын

Also better would be showing the video oriented so that the guy in the video is facing the same direction as the student trying to copy him! (i.e., rotate it 180 degrees.)
