I'm a guy who likes to see all things mechanical and how they work, how they're assembled, engineered and so forth. Just stumbled on this video and glad I did. I never would have given thought as to how this was done. I was fascinated. Thank you for this video.
Cool video. I worked for Carolina Chain and Cable in Charleston SC years ago. Learned a lot from a wise man Edgar Ray Austin. I still know what to do with a fid, can tell you R or L lay and could run the Esco press today thanks to your teaching. My favorite job was making piles of logging chokers for Couumbia Helicopters. Miss this unique work and appreciate your sharing.
I've done a lot of guy cables in my day for telecom towers and 1-3/4" is on the large side......this is really cool to watch. Good to see Uncle Jesse again after all these years.
Uncle Jesse, I like that one. Thank you for watching Jay. Unfortunately I shaved it off after that and noticed I'm starting to get a Turkey neck so might need to grow it back.
Thanks for filming this. Got to help with some splicing for coal mines at a friends cable service once. I sail and wanted to learn to splice rope . COOL
We did the equivalent of this 50 years ago on a mine winder cable. In this case we used melted aluminium alloy. It was tested to about 30 tons and performed perfectly. I didn't drop anyone down the shaft (465 feet). :-)
I slung cable and chain around for a few years, It is exceptionally satisfying every time the lacing and interlacing of cable.... What is even better then that, building matching sets, as long as it is under the quantity of 10 to 12... Those orders of 250 for a sale catalog warehouse for their inventory, that is a different story. but, as much as I miss the whole process of having a high level of safety and quality control of product, dang did that occupation make an old man out of me... everyday going home with hands that just hurt and have that growning achy throbbing, was something I thought my body would tune itself for, but, after so many years and trying eat at least 50% healthy, I had to call it quits. I do miss it though. The company I worked for, they were absolutely wonderful people to work for. You can just about go to any wire rope and custom sling and chain company, and find the same natured people to work for anywhere in the USA. I speculate, that is the hiring practices or screening processes, to insure that the makers always respect that lives are on the line to the highest degree and that comes with a persons understanding and value of life itself, followed by, something you build, and it fails under normal WLL's, guess what, they can trace it back to the builder, and that measure of liability of the traceability is enough to ask God to be at your side upon every build. Good thing every unit is tested. As per the old timer rocking and rolling in this video, "what took you so long on that?"... LOL.. just kidding, well done all of you. Nice work.
A few years ago when we used to do this in the United States, I had the pleasure of watching one shop in Dorchester mass. many times do this kind of work. It’s a shame they are all gone now.
Much respect to you's for your knowledge of splicing like you do. I know you don't owe me but I'd like to ask a favor .... Do that one more time with the camera above looking down at both stations.
Done alot of this work back in the day working cable tools in the oilfield. Splicing and setting sockets was a important part of job as a cable tool driller. Never set anything quite as large as this but did 1 inch cable down to 7/16th size. We always poured babbitt to set sockets for our particular applications other wise we did it pretty much just like this. Oh this splice is what we referred to as weaving a eye or better known as a Deadman. What we called a splice was splicing two long wire ropes together to make it longer or in some cases to cut out a bad section and splice the cable back together.
What you have seen me do was a Flemish eye splice. Back in the day, we hand spliced slings, which I don't want to do anymore. I also we do long splice and short splice like you are talking about putting 2 ropes together. I have some strand laid grommets to do in the future that will be fascinating also. I gave had the order for a while but haven't had time to make them. We are 5 weeks behind on orders right now due to labor shortages.
@@hanginwithdaddio thanks that would be cool to watch been along time since I did this on a regular basis. It's almost a lost art so few today have no clue how skilled these jobs are. Your group sure make it look easy although I personally know it isn't. Oh I guess the names of these just change with the culture and likely by who taught and handed down the skills. I was taught by my grandfather/ father at a early age almost 60 years ago now.
Some sockets use a wedge like system after you open up the cable and the other you open up the end after putting the socket on. Then strip the grease off then etch the wire in a acid/ neutralize the acid and lock the cable in with melted zink
I really didn't think this would take off like it did, I was just screwing around, then it went worldwide, so yes I got to up the game. 😃 I really thank you for watching.
Hey man. My Maga hat was stitched in America. I've been trying to sell the real thing on Craigslist since January of 2017. Couldn't find a buyer. That should say something.
Funny thing is I don't even have this stuff at home, after 36 years of making the stuff I don't want it at the house. My wife laugh's at me when I do need it around the house and don't have it.
rather interesting the clamping force of that machine gotta be in the 500 ton or more range im thinking. but I never knew that you guys "glue" the other end in i always thought you clamped those as well.... either way interesting video =) 😃👍
That is a 1200 Ton Press, and there are 2 different types of sockets, Spelter and Swage. US Army Corp of engineers wanted these, but I like doing the swage sockets because they are faster.
I’m afraid that the gentleman commenting below me is correct, I had a hard time seeing at critical parts of the splice. Perhaps next time you could have the camera above the splice pointing down at it, just a thought. Outstanding work on the splice, my dad and I changed the cable on our old cable operated D6, by the time we got done it looked like we’d been in a knife fight! 😂😂🇺🇸💪💪🙏🤘
My Dad was a caterpillar Mechanic before he got in the wire rope business and he has changed those cables a time or 2 and had cut and sold hundreds of spools of cable for the Doziers.
@@hanginwithdaddio yeah, I remember my dad thought we'd save some money and it'd be a good experience for me, you should have seen us, we looked like we were in a fight with a badger! 😂😂😂🤕🤒🤯
I've put many cable sockets on with poured hot Babbitt building high rise Elevators. Their getting away from it now. Something about propane pots and molten metal inside the buildings.
@@hanginwithdaddio I was thinking the same. I used "Royal Heavy Pressure Babbitt in my sockets but with no hyd press I had to use Crosby clips/clamps until I could get the slings to the shop. Thanks again fellas.
This isn't no "well you should", y'all know what you're doing. I'm just surprised how small the eye is on 1-3/4" rope. Been through some rigging classes, just the old D/D, figured it would be a helix longer. Great video, awesome job.
I USTA DO THIS WORK WHEN 👁 WAS 20 1977 78 FOR BANKS WIRE ROPE IN YBOR CITY IN TAMPA WE USTA PAINT THE CLAMP PRESS WITH OIL WHEN WE'D PRESS THE SLEEVES ON 3 AND 4 INCH CABLES COVERED IN NASTY OL COSMOLENE GREAS
I also do it that way sometimes. I have seen a little bird caging in the past and I am very picky. Been doing these for 36 years, when we had our large company that dad sold in 91 and he had been making slings since 1964. Thanks for your suggestion and glad you watched and shared your comments.
We have used Morgan Milwaukie since the 70s, and yes, they are the best, and I think the one you see is a 6" I think. Hey Thanks for asking and watching.
@@hanginwithdaddio there's a vise made by fireball tool's just hit the market that's a beast. The ol boy that makes it is on TH-cam as "fireball tool's" he has some interesting videos if you like watching that kind of videos.
so the (terminated) cable's effective strength is HALF the (raw) cable's overall strength ... right? since you SPLIT the braid in half and wrap each half around the one splice end ...
A cable just broke on the bridge between Oregon and Washington - maybe talk a little about how those things happen and what is normally done to prevent it from happening.
Why can't you slide the socket on the cable before unwinding all the strands? Wouldn't that be easier than wrestling it back on after it's all unwound?
@@hanginwithdaddio I tested chain for many years. We rested to 2 times the working load limit, and the actual break strength was double that again. So a 10,000 pound limit chain was tested to 20,000, and was expected to hold till 40,000. Pretty conservative on the working load limits for safety.
There are several reasons, I am picky and don't like birdcaging below the .h has happened a time or tw, plus I don't want to remove the base wire until I am done. I have done it the way you are talking many times, but I had a guy that worked in the rigging shop for Bethlehem Wire rope, and he poured a lott of big stuff. He taught me the alternate way. So that's why. Jason, thank you for watching, and thank you for asking the question.
I'm not sure what you're asking, but we split it apart using 3 strands on one side and 3 strands plus the core on the other and then splice back together. Thank you for watching Seth, and maybe in the near future, I will show this thimble process much more clearly.
Hey, I try, and thanks for watching. I don't have enough help these days, and I am definitely not a professional with video, but I will try and get better. Thank you for your constructive criticism.
Obviously I am not a professional video guy, I just was given a GoPro one day for Christmas and after having it for years decided to pick it up to see what this thing does and thought well I will put something up on TH-cam, so that's what you get from a hillbilly like me unfortunately but I am learning and taking every comment in consideration, so thank you for your input and Thank you for watching. Take care, Johan, and have a wonderful week.
I was a yarder tech for 25 years and had to do many large splices in the field. Really likin the post so I sub'd. Stop by my channel if you like. Take care eh. Dean in BC Canada. Doing these splices on the back of a service truck at -20 C 1/2 way up a mountain side sure makes your shop look pretty inviting eh my new friend, LOL.
@@hanginwithdaddio After a bit as far as maintaining the big machines gets to be sort of ordinary. One of the more interesting days is upending the main line. 2 kilometers of swedged, one inch line has to be pulled out and the opposite end attached to the drum and pulled back on while the whole time on the pull back tension on the cable has to be maintained. Finding enough places on the mountain for blocks, shives and a D8 providing the tension. Every 300 hours. Rain, snow or shine. The 1000 hour service took two of us 2 full days. Every drop of fluids was replaced. Retired now and I still miss that big old 124 Madill.
Great video, but poor camera work. You blocked all the important stages of the job from view. Re-position the camera and or add cameras next time please.
You'll have to learn how to place your camera, guys. Or ask the helper not to stand between the camera and the work all the time. I didn't see anything. ☹
That's Ok maybe next time, I am more about getting the job done and making the customer happy than having good camera footage, after all my profession is rigging not TH-cam but I do enjoy doing it and lots of people enjoy watching. Thank you for watching also and I should be dropping a Double Braid rope splice so don't beat me up to bad this isn't a training video 😂. Will look at trying to do some sort of overhead shot maybe next wire rope splice because we do have to work on all sides of these to build them.
Pretty pathetic criticism. What do you think you can learn from just watching a video? It's an article not a course. Better yet, thank the content creators, stop criticizing their efforts and make your own video. Show the viewers how you think it should be done instead of whining about camera angles
Thank God for country people and I pray country is never lost in this country who you think built this country country people in the suits build this country suits the less destroying it today country people the ones who broke their back bled and died to build this great country that suits on now trying to destroy it for their own power in their own greed I hope we stay country
If I may suggest......more camera angles would be real fucking cool! Getcha a head strap go pro daddio. ....I'm sure I speak for us all who enjoy this type of content.....we wanna actually see what yall doing...when yall doin it! But if this is all you gonna do....I'll still watch!
Thank you very much for watching, I am trying and learning this video stuff all at the same time and never thought anyone would actually be interested.
@@hanginwithdaddio hell yea brother .....but I'm a weird duck too tho.....I put on manual machining videos to go to sleep! So yea im into any trade video I can learn from......something about a 3 phase motor humming in a shop...... hahaahha
O’l Uncle Jesse would still outwork more than half the lazy kids that come through my rigging shop I work at. Nice work. Still don’t understand why you make the eyes with such long tails and then cut them to the sleeve size. Such a waste of cable. I do the old school Texas Tuck. Even the Molly Hogan you did doesn’t need tails like that.
Well send me a video of how you do it, I'm never to old to keep learning. We been doing it that way since 1971 and also we hired a rigger from Bethlehem wire rope (Williamsport) and he done it that way also, I only cut tails on thimble splices 1 1/4 up, when doing a lot of them I don't want to wear myself out nor the guys because I need them to be able to work the next day. Thank you for watching and send me a Video of your Job, I would love to see it.

So happy to see Americans making this so many of these videos are filmed elsewhere
Thank you a glad to do it.

I’m a machinist, so I’ve done this with small cable - wow, this was impressive! Very interesting.🔩🗜🛠
The Biggest I have done is 3" when I was younger.
Thanks for the video. I sure glad that it isn't being done overseas.
it is its been done this way for centuries first making rope and then gradually into steel wire
Did a few rope caps and splices in mines assisting blokes like you when I was young.
God bless you. We can't be losing these skills.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.

so I have a question why not slide the socket on the cable before you spread the cable?
Wrestling with a Python ! 👍👏

Nah he couldn't help it, I didn't have a camera man and just put it on a tripod plus Don't want to show to much. 😂
Put your socket on the wire before you broom the end. It will save you a lot of hassle. That’s how we do it.

What are you pouring in? Some epoxy are liquid weld?
It is a resin. We use Socket Fast by Esco
so the (terminated) cable's effective strength is HALF the (raw) cable's overall strength ... right?
since you SPLIT the braid in half and wrap each half around the one splice end ...
In the US OSHA requires a 5:1 Design Factor so 5 times the working load is Breaking Strength and so we test 2 X the working load.
O trabalho com cabos de aço é dureza ... trabalho bruto
It sure is. Thank you for watching.
My farther use to hand splice 2" and up. He told me that there is over 700 different types splices
Your Father is a tough man.
capt dummy here, but would it be easier to put the socket on before brooming the rope? or does the wire wraps get in the way?
I do it both ways, but I prefer to put it on after to eliminate any possibilities of birdcaging. Thanks for watching.
Also, wire wrap does get in the way.
@@hanginwithdaddio sometimes i use tape when doing quick knobs, probably not a great plan with 1-1/4 though
Yeah, but I was doing 1-3/4 it wouldn't hold up very well.
A lifetime of doing that work, their arms must be about as strong as the cables.
I wish I am losing it every Birthday at this point on.
I cant read that big yellow sign on the hydraulic press there.. what does it say?
Yeah, I know. 😅
The camera angle might be better from above as well as other angles. I’d love to be able to see more

A cable just broke on the bridge between Oregon and Washington - maybe talk a little about how those things happen and what is normally done to prevent it from happening.
Haven't heard about that yet but a lot of times it's due to corrosion.
Why can't you slide the socket on the cable before unwinding all the strands? Wouldn't that be easier than wrestling it back on after it's all unwound?
You can but I'm just Very picky about how mine looks and didn't want any birdcaging at the base of the socket.
@@hanginwithdaddio understandable, thanks for the cool content! 👍
Those were the type of sockets that failed on the cables at Arecibo Radio Telescope.

How are we gonna get this in the socket? I don't know, I was gonna watch but you didn't record it lol
It's a Secret! 😆
Why didn't you put the socket on before brooming the end?

FRIKIN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE NOOOOOO IDEA WHAT WORK REALLY IS TILL YA PULL WARE STRUGGLIN WITH NASTY GREASY CABLE ALLLLL DAY

Cool.. I also work with steel wire and I have a video on my page that you can watch
I will check it out.
th-cam.com/video/cb12TrzNwjA/w-d-xo.html
Why not put the end on the cable before unraveling it? Then you would only need to pull it out to the end.

How else you gonna put it all together without steerin it up?????
😅
Wait! Only 2 strands?
I'm not sure what you're asking, but we split it apart using 3 strands on one side and 3 strands plus the core on the other and then splice back together. Thank you for watching Seth, and maybe in the near future, I will show this thimble process much more clearly.

Why not put socket on before you take every strand apart an slide it up in place. Figured it be easier but I’m sure there’s a reason.
There is a reason and since so many have asked this question I will hit on that a little in another video.
I wish i could have seen more of the prosess but filming was not done in proper way
Obviously I am not a professional video guy, I just was given a GoPro one day for Christmas and after having it for years decided to pick it up to see what this thing does and thought well I will put something up on TH-cam, so that's what you get from a hillbilly like me unfortunately but I am learning and taking every comment in consideration, so thank you for your input and Thank you for watching. Take care, Johan, and have a wonderful week.
Can you show the test next time?
I will be doing a Break Test Soon, I want to figure out my GoPro a little better so that I can slow mo the break test.
OH AND WE DIDN'T GLUE SOCKET'S WE POURED EM HOT WITH
ZINK
I've been there done that, I like it too.
I was a yarder tech for 25 years and had to do many large splices in the field. Really likin the post so I sub'd. Stop by my channel if you like. Take care eh. Dean in BC Canada. Doing these splices on the back of a service truck at -20 C 1/2 way up a mountain side sure makes your shop look pretty inviting eh my new friend, LOL.
I will do that.
Yarders are some Tuff Guys and I love watching the shows on TV.
@@hanginwithdaddio After a bit as far as maintaining the big machines gets to be sort of ordinary. One of the more interesting days is upending the main line. 2 kilometers of swedged, one inch line has to be pulled out and the opposite end attached to the drum and pulled back on while the whole time on the pull back tension on the cable has to be maintained. Finding enough places on the mountain for blocks, shives and a D8 providing the tension. Every 300 hours. Rain, snow or shine. The 1000 hour service took two of us 2 full days. Every drop of fluids was replaced. Retired now and I still miss that big old 124 Madill.
Great video, but poor camera work. You blocked all the important stages of the job from view. Re-position the camera and or add cameras next time please.
I know........
Can’t see a thing
That's Ok it wasn't a training Video.
Mi pare un pelo esagerato come cavetto usb... 😂😂😂
You'll have to learn how to place your camera, guys. Or ask the helper not to stand between the camera and the work all the time. I didn't see anything. ☹
That's Ok maybe next time, I am more about getting the job done and making the customer happy than having good camera footage, after all my profession is rigging not TH-cam but I do enjoy doing it and lots of people enjoy watching. Thank you for watching also and I should be dropping a Double Braid rope splice so don't beat me up to bad this isn't a training video 😂. Will look at trying to do some sort of overhead shot maybe next wire rope splice because we do have to work on all sides of these to build them.
Can't really tell what is going on. Too far away. Looks interesting.
If the old guy he's going on 100 if he Epstein could any one do this old farts job ?
I was thinking the exact same thing! Move Something so we can see what the hell is going on!
Pretty pathetic criticism. What do you think you can learn from just watching a video? It's an article not a course. Better yet, thank the content creators, stop criticizing their efforts and make your own video. Show the viewers how you think it should be done instead of whining about camera angles
Thank God for country people and I pray country is never lost in this country who you think built this country country people in the suits build this country suits the less destroying it today country people the ones who broke their back bled and died to build this great country that suits on now trying to destroy it for their own power in their own greed I hope we stay country
Amen Brother!
You first.end was bird caging that isnt any good takes strength out of your rope
You are absolutely correct and that happened back in the late 80s, and yes I cut it off and made another one. If it's not perfect I don't let it go
Just kidding. That fully broomed cable end would make a nice fishing spear
Yes it would!
If I may suggest......more camera angles would be real fucking cool! Getcha a head strap go pro daddio. ....I'm sure I speak for us all who enjoy this type of content.....we wanna actually see what yall doing...when yall doin it! But if this is all you gonna do....I'll still watch!
Thank you very much for watching, I am trying and learning this video stuff all at the same time and never thought anyone would actually be interested.
@@hanginwithdaddio hell yea brother .....but I'm a weird duck too tho.....I put on manual machining videos to go to sleep! So yea im into any trade video I can learn from......something about a 3 phase motor humming in a shop...... hahaahha
O’l Uncle Jesse would still outwork more than half the lazy kids that come through my rigging shop I work at. Nice work. Still don’t understand why you make the eyes with such long tails and then cut them to the sleeve size. Such a waste of cable. I do the old school Texas Tuck. Even the Molly Hogan you did doesn’t need tails like that.
Well send me a video of how you do it, I'm never to old to keep learning. We been doing it that way since 1971 and also we hired a rigger from Bethlehem wire rope (Williamsport) and he done it that way also, I only cut tails on thimble splices 1 1/4 up, when doing a lot of them I don't want to wear myself out nor the guys because I need them to be able to work the next day. Thank you for watching and send me a Video of your Job, I would love to see it.
@@hanginwithdaddio tried to send you my video. I have it on fb. Can’t figure it out
be nice to watch what you are doing with overhead camera's
I had already been thinking about that.
How the actual fuck do you have 70k views on a video yet I'm the 517 subscriber today? Wth is going on here!?
