Splicing wire rope. First a half inch choker is spliced and pressed together using ferrules. Second a one and an eighth steel cable is eye spliced by hand. The fellow in the video can do a splice in about 6 minutes, but this one took a little longer due to pauses for camera angles and such.

The man in the video is very intelligent indeed, all shown by his lack of clumsiness in every one of his moves, his actions are well coordinated, not a single hesitation, everything is so positive and he acts like an orchestra conductor making harmonious music with the instruments he has at his disposal. He handles his tools as if he has musical instruments where every action fuses so nicely in such a wonderful sequence. He is no different from a musical conductor hewing out a waltz or a military mark with all their dignity. Congratulations to this gentleman, he has managed to develop his mind and his body to coordinate in the most efficient manner. I loved the manner in which he put a few turns into that steel cable to open up the threads so that he could insert the ends. Lack of clumsiness in all what we do is not something that schools teach our children and schooling is not complete without musical actions in sports and skills as we saw in this video.

To anyone commenting to criticize or condemn this logger's eye, please, open your minds! A liverpool splice should perhaps have more tucks but the way he does his lock tucks makes up for not doing 30 tucks. Don't make blanket statements, watch and learn! I learned a lot from watching this, and I've been rigging for over 50 years. Thank you.

@@RalphDratman i was going by Bronco Billy's rule: i decided i wanted to be a rigger ( which he says makes you one) by 1969, that was 7 years before quitting school. We took a family vacation from back east to San Francisco in 1965 and that was it for me. Trawlers, Sailboats, whatever kind of slings, anchor gear or whatever for a few gillnetters trollers or urchin boats, or Moorings, etc. If a boat is over 50' I'm less interested than I am in smaller boats. Smaller boats are less complicated.

Nice to see someone doing this stuff. I love that splicing jig you have. 25 years ago I learnt for my trade as a rigger to splice wire rope. When I worked in the mines I'd make custom length pieces for my boss so we could send odd sized equipment down mine shafts. The guys I worked with would watch in awe as I made them. Now-a-days it is all ferrule crimped, hand made splices are becoming a lost art.

We irish fishermen call this a 'Flemish eye'. Presumably the Flemish guys used it a lot or perhaps came up with the idea first, they certainly came up with a lot of ideas! In an emergency we held the ends with a bulldog grip and laid in the strands later. Other splices we use are yte Liverpool, the German locking splice and the long splice. The guy in the video is both strong and expert. The largest cables that I have seen spliced was in the coal-mines in Whitehaven, Cumberland. Six inch +

Here in sunny Western Australia,I have done hundreds of traditional hand splice.,up to 2inch dia. We also splice on the vertical,we would use a offset vice and rarely ,like never take a turn out of the rope.Our spikes would have a T handle for control.Two tucks then drop in the vice,so much more control and less effort needed.Drop again for the fourth tuck,all six strands tucked four times with no separation at the throat of the eye.Yes ,I’ve done Flemish eyes to 75mm and long splicing to 57 mm ,retired now.Not trying to be a smart ass 😀😀😀

I'm an ex BC logger, and we had to do 1 1/8" guy line splices on top of a stump with the initial eye formed and held in place with 4 railroad spikes. We then had to pound a Marlin spike thru the strands twist and insert each respective strand in place with a minimum of 2 tucks. loose ends were cut off by laying the strands over an old axe blade and using a hammer to sever them. T his was at least an hour job with 2 guys on a mountain side miles from a shop..

In Kelsey Bay when I finally became a chaser I made a smelter out of a 5 gallon pail and all the foremans would get the crews to save the knobs from broken chokers, give them to me, and I would melt the babbit out so they could reuse them. I then carved 2, 3, 4," piece symbol into a stump and poured the molten babbit in them and would sell them to the Hippy Loggers.

So I can see that grinding away some of the faying surfaces to try to meet the specifications, would be tempting, but is the metal flow of the sleeves still within the toolmaker/manufacturer's intentions? It may be interesting to do a saw cut through a sleeve to see the actual metal flow of the fittings. Please don't view my comments as negative, I can tell you really know what you are doing, and yours was the most informative I could find on any of the video websites.

The go/no go gauge is more appropriate for oval compression sleeves. The sleeve shown is for disposing of the sharp ends and it's not critical what diameter it ends up being since the strength of a flemish eye is not dependent on the sleeve. Nicopress dies used on oval sleeves (strands not split 3 and 3 first, the intact end is bent into a loop and then sleeved together) need to be adjusted so the sleeve ends up a maximum diameter after pressing. Otherwise the loop is not full strength. However, in some work having a full strength loop is not the highest priority. A full strength loop made with an oval sleeve needs a minimum number of presses, depending on which die you use, and the sharp cable end needs to stick out the end of the sleeve one cable diameter. There is often more than one set of dies that will work for a particular dia wire rope. That's why they have "letter" designations instead of being stamped "half-inch" etc. If you don't want a sharp cable sticking out of your sleeve, you can sacrifice some strength and make it flush. BTW, it doesn't matter much, but oval compression sleeves are specifically designed for "flexible wire rope" (not strand). But we have found they work for a lot of things, including putting new eyes in the ends of (used) Dux, when you just don't want to spend all day fishing and all night repairing the gear.

I’m sorry to say, but in my opinion it isn’t an artist at al. I’ve made so many rope splices on a river barch. When you look at 8’ 23” you see a big gap in the splice. We learnd at school (DNS Oranje Nassau Delfzijl NL 1963-1965) to make a splice without a gap. We learnd also to make a splice without the tools he needed. We only may use the same Spike like he did to open de wires. And after the splice was ready, we used a hammer and a schissel to cut the separate wires in stead of a torch. I have to admid the loop was about 50 - 75 in diameter, depending where the splices where made for. Mostly to hold the barch in position in docks, loading, unloading sites a.s.o.

Speed isn't impressive but always fun to watch wire rope videos on here. They didn't start popping up until about 2 years ago. You guys got enough chain? Ha. I dont' do this anymore but I did for a few years, I'll say this, out of all the things a rigger can do splicing is the only real part of that trade. Do you work on synthetic rope splicing as well? Bridles, Grommets, Slings, Chokers? No 3 strand stuff, 12 strand and double braided stuff. I loved working with Plasma rope 1 3/4".

We use Plasma for our muni moorings in santa barbara. Not the pendants, the actual rode.

That's not a splice - that is a babbit eye. We had to actually splice eyes with a block of wood, a rigging hammer, and marlin spikes on 1 1/2" mainline and 1" haulback. We cut the cable using the hammer - with a piece of 1" cable for a handle over an axe embedded in the wood block. We beat the cable until it was cut through and then put in the eye splice or the long splice depending on what broke.

Interesting video, I have never seen a setup like that, it was always half dozen or so railroad spikes and a stump. One thing I did notice, the eye should be 36x the diameter of the wire being spliced. Splicing an eye in a 2" skyline is a 3 man job which take about 30 minutes. His whole technique is so different that what I am used to, I had to watch it several times, Compared to what we do competitively, he has several steps that seem redundant. Same eye, just redundant. Side note; I helped with one long splice in a piece of 2" we added 3500' to a 4000' length, THAT took about 4 hours and if I remember correctly, it took 120' of line to do it.

Rope men in the coal mine used to splice heavy haulage ropes in the dark with just a cap lamp while working in a tunnel with limited height access.
