Can you do this with a 20mm rope to a 14mm rope?

Does this need a lock stitch?

This video has been an enormous help for me with my splicing Thanks 👍

Hi, would this be considered a class two double braid splice?

Hello. Great tutorial thanks for it 🙏🏻 Is there any difference between 32 plaited cover or 24 plaited cover and 12 plaited core or 16 plaited core?

Thanx!

What thickness?

Great video! But, it would be SO MUCH easier to see exactly what was happening if the background was dark blue or black. White or light blue on a white background is not optimal…

so two problems i notice in real world situations, #1 taking the core out of the cover is never ever ever that simple or fast, it always usually ends up a mangled mess and takes about 30 minutes to an hour to actually pull out. # two, pulling the joint into the cover is never ever ever that easy or fast, or sometimes even possible; it's 3 layers too thick to get through the original hole you pulled the core out of, it usually requires about an hour of pounding and/or getting two people to pull it or getting it on a winch to pull. Nice video, but doesn't address real world issues. Obviously you did it here, but for whatever reason it doesn't work in the real world.

Which yarn is used?

I'm not sure everyone is going to be able to easily pull that much slack of the core through. I guess it's fine for short ropes.

Would be nice to have some troubleshooting. I can't pull the end through the hole in the first step. I have the same tools as you do, it just won't go through. 4mm rope from your shop too. Showing a pro do it like it is so easy is misleading.

The best knot tying chaps on YT.

Can this be used to attach a friction ring into the loop?

Wonderfullly !!! ...

It may cause problems in carrying loads.

Does this work for marlow’s D2 product?

Definitely should taper more. Splice would be smoother

Does it work to link ropes of different diameter?

How strong would this be relative to the cord / rope you spliced together assumning you did a good job?

Where is the core spliced? How is the continuous line strong without the core connected? The cover has no strength?

It was painful watching him bumble his way through the first round of tucks. That 3rd tuck was a cracker.. 🤣

Hello. Wich feeder kit are you using?

What size are your fids?

My halyard is very tight. I just can't introduce the F-20 needle into it to pull the extra cover. What should I do? Thanks!

Mein Tipp! Ich habe einen YAK T100 (100 Pfund )Wurfarm auf der Alligator 2 verbaut. Die Sehne ist Dyneema Pro in schwarz ( die farbigen halten angeblich nicht so gut ) Die Sehne ist an der Schiene innenverstärkt. Als Mittenwicklung habe ich einiges ausprobiert, aber nur ein Material hat mich absolut überzeugt! Ich nehme von der Firma Micro Tex eine Dyneema Angelschnur in 0,4mm Stärke und wickle damit die Mitte, aber nur über die Breite der Schiene, plus etwa 3mm rechts und links hinaus! Wichtig ist, zu Anfang die Schnur dreimal mit einer Nadel durch das Geflecht von einer Seite zur anderen durchführen, damit sie sich sicher nicht lösen kann! Danach vorsichtig zuerst ein paar Wicklungen ohne Wickelgerät ausführen, dann mit dem Wickelgerät, das anhängt, bis etwa 2/3 straff wickeln. Beim letzten dritte eine Schlaufe aus dieser Schnur nach außen legen und vorsichtig den Rest wieder von Hand straff über die Schlaufe wickeln. Am Schluss ein gutes Stück stehenlassen, abschneiden und durch die Schlaufe, unter dem letzten 1/3 langsam zurück durchziehen! Dabei empfehle ich eine Zange . Bis jetzt habe ich noch keinerlei Abrieb feststellen können! Meine Sehne liegt wirklich extrem straff auf der Schiene und ich habe schon sehr viel geschossen 👍🏻

So far, I've only done this a few times, so I won't call myself an expert, but one hint that's helped me... Before you pull the core from the double braid, tie a loop knot into the double braid, six or eight feet from the end. I use an alpine butterfly knot. This will anchor the core to the cover, limiting how far down the compressed section of the cover will extend. When you're milking the cover back over the splice, the knot is how far down you need to stop. And you can slip the knot over something solid, I've used benchdogs on my workbench and I've used door knobs, that you can use to anchor the rope while you try to milk the cover. Grabbing the unlaced strand of the cover, releasing the core entirely, and leaning into the pull with the rope anchored at that knot can get the cover through those tight spots where simply pushing on the cover doesn't work.

At 7:10, the fid goes in to the core on the OPPOSITE side from where the core emerges from the cover. At, say 10:28, you can see that this ensures the eye of the splice will lie nice and flat - no twists. First time I tried this I didn't realise it mattered where the fid went in and wound up with a big twist, making it impossible to get that last centimetre of core into the cover - very frustrating!

Tried with 3mm and couldn’t get the last 4cm of core back inside the cover. It just tightens up and won’t go in, following every step to a tee.. disappointing. Anyone know what I can do?

Not one of the hundreds of videos about these splices actually explains HOW to pass the core and fid effectively through the rope. It is absolutely near impossible I have tried so many times.

Almost impossible to pass the fid through

brilliant!

I know this is an older video but do you know where I can get the fid you used to insert into the wire? I am having a hard time finding one.

That music drives you mad.

Winch seems to be the easiest method to me, saves the body over time I bet.

Does it work for boat holes in the hull during an emergency?

Is this strong? You dont need to like splice the cores together strand by strand or something?

Skills....

Awesome!

Thanks for the video. My question is, how much breaking strength do we lost with this splicing method ?

‘Twang’… that’s not going anywhere.

Please make this video available to save to a playlist. Seems like an oversight to disable this feature.

I kinda miss the music you guys used on your splicing videos from like 9 years ago. Glad to see you guys are still putting out quality content though!

How strong are these loops? Will this be stronger than putting a brummel splice on each end and a girth hitch on each end, or should I use one of these through the block and a girth hitch on just one end?

These splices are a pain, thank you for not making it upside down with screwed up music, like the previous video

Yeah.... Looks very easy but in reality bloody hard process. The core never comes out that easy. I've tried this for an in mast mainsail of Selden and it would snap basically the two ends would Separate from each other.I have tried with Dyneema lines and It takes me hours. Some useful points..... Use needles to prevent the core sliding back when you're milking or aligning the lines. If you want to make the loose end easily slide in the other end I suggest to cut at least half of the remaining strands. On many of my attempts the D splice just got stuck inside. I secure with many stitches . Having said this I agree with the principle of this video In reality not such an easy process
