- Easy step by step instructions for splicing two ropes together using a short splice in this detailed knot tying video tutorial.
Splicing is a way of interweaving rope and is the strongest way to join two ropes, retaining 80 to 95 percent of rope strength. Splicing used to be a basic part of nautical, sailing and boating knowledge which is fading since you can buy marine ropes, dock lines and anchor lines pre-spliced,. Same goes with rigging and climbing ropes. You can DIY (do it yourself) and have the splice just as strong.
Three strand splicing can be done in nylon, poly, hemp, sisal, or cotton ropes, as long as there are three strands. Once you have finished the splicing procedure the three loose strands should be neatly braided into the standing part of the rope, with the ends heat sealed. If you want to get fancy you can whip the ends of the individual strands with common whipping and the whole splice can be whipped or tapered to finish.
If you are having trouble opening the strands a rope tool called a fid can be used.

Excellent video! For the Americans doing this splice, labeling the strands with red, white and blue tape makes this splice even easier. You'll never have to wonder what strand is next. Thanks again for the fantastic tutorial.
the ONLY splicing video that explains how to figure out how much length you need to give for your required number of tucks. thank you!
Pro tip : watch series at InstaFlixxer. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Charlie Jimmy yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
Great and easy to follow. Used it for the sisal rope I needed on my cat scratcher where I wanted to avoid staples or glue undoing right in the middle of the stand. 👍
Incredible guide thanks a lot very easy to follow along
You re the best..very easy to follow,, thnks
Thank you sir so very much for the time you have given to create this tutorial.
Thank you!! Been fishing for years but you explained it so much easier 💯
Excellent tutorial, thanks for the content.
Great video and very clear. It's a nice way to extend a dock line, or repair around a worn section.
A very clear and thouraly illustrated tutorial, thank you mate for teaching this technique. I weave polypropylene doormats from reclaimed cray pot rope and always either melted two lengths together or put two ends parallel and clamped it with a C clip. Your splicing has created a much desired look to my completed mats. Thank you.
Cheers pal. Just did my first ever splice. So satisfying ! Very clear instructions, good job.
Super, danke für die einfache und logische Anleitung. Endlich habe ich es verstanden, auch wenn mein Englisch katastrophal ist. 😀
Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for.
Absolutely wonderful! Exactly what I needed and in perfect detail and good video to see what you did. I spiced a 3/4 inch nylon rope for 30 inches just to be safe. For me the job was harder because the rope had been strained enough to partly fuse the 3 strands to each other where it broke. I had to pry them apart before I could weave the strands together. Thank you!!!
Thank you. Very clear and easy to follow.
Perfectly explained. Thank you!
Thank you!! Best video on this that I found!
Great video, very helpful. Thank you !
Excellent tutorial - thank you!
Thanks for this! Well done.
I went from zero to being able to splice. Thanks!!
English is not my mother tongue, so I came here to visualize and internalize the term "splice", because I'm also learning JavaScript. Now, I will never forget what this means, and next time I hear saying this word, this video is what is going to come up in my head... Cheers!
Thank you soooo much, fabulous instruction and a great way to save a lead rope!
Good day!
Thanks a lot for posting, so many of the end-to-end 3-strand videos are silly-long!! I nailed my 1st one, should probably lock-stitch it but I just used elect tape at the ends, wanted to see what kinda 'pull' it has in real life use am expecting to be lock-stitching it soon!
Am back on this vid as that 1st one was 1-of-2 lengths of 3-strand that I wanted to make little anchor-slings out of, I'm using a 'rigging ring' type of eye/thimble and I'm inserting it by 'brummel' type pass-throughs of the rope IE literally just pegged in place by the rope's desire to not un-do itself (a phenomena that acts stronger the more it's pulled!)
Am stoked to have done a different type of splice, had been eye- and back-splicing a bunch of double-braids lately so it's interesting trying something new!! Next up, once I can get an answer/find a specific product, want to get the most-dynamic 12-strand hollow braid rope (like Tenex/Yalex, just not an HMPE/poly product but rather nylon or nylon/poly mix), especially interested in making sliding-splices IE yippies/loopies, whoopies, 'Ultra-sling' type stuff!
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 We get 2 tutorials in 1 (construction knot and splicing), and a bonus: a beautiful Aussie(?) accent to listen to ☺️
Thanks for the tutorial. Going to try this tomorrow. Thanks.
The last step I do is to put the splice on the floor and using my shoe, I roll the rope back and forth which makes the splice look great.
Yezzz just like my granfather did (only he`d beat it with a pice of thin wood too)
Nice video- thanks for reminding me how to do this. I did it a little differently this time, however. Instead of doing five sets of tucks for each side, I did ten sets of tucks on one side which saved a few steps. The two ropes had the same diameter so the result should be equivalent.
Спасибо за видео! Видна работа профессионала. Ничего лишнего, всё в точку.
Thanks very easy to follow and leave from. I found a cable tie works for me to hold the loose strands temporarily in place.
Thanks. Very detail.
Thanks for the demo
This is very easy to follow
Lovely, thank you
Thanks A Lot.. Great Explanation..
Thanks for the video. My friends think I'm a superstar.
very clear & cincise.
Excellent thank you so much🙏
Thank you. Very clear.
讚.!!終於找到了...這個結繩法..謝謝
Awesome tutorial. Worked for me. Thanks
Fascinating video found an old knife at a boot fair which has a spike and a blade the stall holder told me the spike is used for splicing rope i understand how it is used now.
I just did this yesterday, but it didn't look as nice as yours. Using the two constrictor knots is a good idea. I'll
do that next time. Nice video

very helpful! thanks!
Great teacher! Thank you.
You teaches with such clarity. Thank you. May I ask which standard of measure you adopt for determining the size and length required for a proper splice?
Thats great thanks. How can anybody give that the thumbs down??
Excellent
Good idea thank you

Very helpful, thank-you! Cheers.
Reminds me of a time when I was a young boy and I built a zip line with a short spliced rope from a post on the deck to a big oak tree. Pulley hit the splice and I fell flat on my butt. Good times
Instead of electrical (or any tape), I use a strip of velcro to tame the loose ends. Also, I alternate sides (using velcro makes switching sides easy), tugging the ends to tighten after each row of tucks (makes the use of the constrictor knot unnecessary.
Hello. Awesome! Thank you very much. Very helpful tutorial!
The constrictor knot is also called the clove hitch knot
very nice
if you cut the constrictor knot from underneath, there won't be any danger of cutting the rope. Also try a scalpel.
I even did it without the constrictors so it's possible, thanks for the video
Please make a video splicing 12 stranded dyneema rope 🙏🏼
Terimaksih
Thanx a lot! Super clear explained and clear video. Have made it yesterday for handles on a bag, but I was wondering if instead of a round splice is there is a way to make a flat? Need a flat version for a shoulderbag.
Silly question perhaps, but this is strong enough for extending my anchor rope, right?
thanks man much appreciated can you make a wire splice i do really need help and it would mean so much to me man
BRAVO
Стальной трос заплетается в кальцо премерно также плюс замок
thank's you very much
If you stagger the finishing point of the 3 strands you get a much neater finish.
I don't use constrictor rope to do this splice..I only use the insulation tape to tape one end and start splicing the other end
thanks for the video.. will be trying it tomorrow. What type splice would you recommend on an anchor line?
Thanks,
Can you do this with steel cable as well

To join two ropes together without lumps try doing a long splice!!
I have always like this Short Splice, and also the Back, Eye, and Cut Splice...do you roll your Splices afterwords to get them to "set" ?
Also I have never seen anyone do a long splice, do you know how?
LaAttiDah Yes I do roll my splices to set them. If they are stubborn I sometimes even pound them. I do know how to do a long splice. Do you want me to make a video?
yes please do a video on a long splice ... the books make it look too complicated.
Not sure if a video makes it any less complicated but I finally got it up. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/sN-cnO8Fqrc/w-d-xo.html
How strong is this? Are there other types of splices for joining 3 twist rope that are stronger? Thanks,
Is whipping the ends of the splicing useful?
Мне очень интересно замок делаете или каки его парядок
Anyone know if this would work for wire rope
Is 4 strand done the same way?
Any advice on how to splice faster? I need short, crown, and loop splices in under 7 minutes. I’ve got below that time once but my fingers are getting raw. Can using something like a car key to push the strands through make it easier?
what your looking for is called a fid its like a handheld trough to open up the rope and slide a strand through
do you need to cut out the constrictor knot?
I am trying to make custom color bird coil ropes. I use cotton twisted rope. How would you suggest sealing the ends of the cotton strands since I can't "heat seal" cotton? Very informative video... thank you!
The knot you are after is called a whipping knot.

Great video! Would this type of splice work to bind two 1 in. ropes together in their full length in order to create a single 2 in. rope?
Great video, but I can't find anywhere, how strong is the splice? I assume not 100% maybe 50% ?
Gray Guy Description says 80-95 percent.
got an extra fid looks like ya need one
Brill, thanks, the simple thing of using the constrictor knot instead of tape and tape instead of floppy ends makes the process much less confusing. I have been trying to do this with a single length of hemp to make a hoop swing for my parrot. The process of opening up the rope to do the tucks becomes a lot more difficult, any suggestions? I am using 12mm rope to make a 20mm diameter hoop.
Either thinner diameter rope or a larger hoop will cause less compression on the inner strands and less tension on the outer ones which will help a little, but probably won't solve the problem. Rope workers often use a tapered tool called a fid to help open strands for splicing. You could search fid on google and then try to improvise something similar.
I have a knife that I had when I went sailing in my youth that had a fid and a shackle key on it. I have been hunting high and low for it but can't find it! I used a small screwdriver which helped a bit but I think I was being optimistic with the size of hoop and agree that a larger diameter would help.
Xanzibaar I uploaded a tutorial on how to make a rope hoop in case you missed it. You could try that. I hope it helps. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/H_gvUE5Dikc/w-d-xo.html
will take a look, ta
What is the name of this splice???
I miss my grandfather .....
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
not really true ,am a commercial fisherman we use all synthetic rope an 3 tucks + taper equals normal rope strength
Or a half hitch knot😂
My rope was stiff coiled but the strands are fluffing up a lot once separated. I don't really trust it to load equally, I might actually trust a knot to retain more strength :(
Oh well I will keep practicing.
Splices are sexier than knots
@@CombraStudios Agreed. Also, when knots are tied, though the knot itself is strong, the point where it constricts or clamps tight on the rope does weaken the rope at that point. Splices do not have that shortcoming/
