AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!....that's the sound of me not going nuts anymore while trying to do an eye splice getting my instructions from a book. Thanks very much for taking the time to make a clear, easy to follow video.
Thank you Mark, after trying a lot I found your video and it was really simple to follow. I completed the eye splice on my first attempt after watching.
Thank you Mark. After watching this I told my wife that this is pretty much the most perfect instructional video I have ever seen. I cannot possibly imagine how 23 people gave it a thumbs down except that they must have been sniffing glue.
Thank you Mark. I needed to braid a loop onto a rope to secure a piece of safety equipment for work and found your description and your video the clearest and easiest to follow. Now learning this everything seems so much simpler with braiding. I think that you have set me on a path.
This was very difficult but i got it done, thanks to you. My only tools were a pair of nail clippers and a fork handle and it was fairly difficult, especially since it works better on looser ropes but mine was extremely tight rope i had gotten of an abandoned lumber site. But its strong, the loop is so strong i can hang and swing from it.
Hello. Do you have video like eye splice have 8 strands? Because your every content is really clear. I already can do that 3 strands.but now i want to know how to do the 8 strands
I was looking for a rope splicing tutorial and I am so grateful I stumbled on this one.. It is very useful and very easy to understand. However, I wonder what if the rope has 4 strands just like mine or more than 4 strands. Please I want your help. There are tutorials out there for splicing 4 strands rope but I prefer much on yours because I bet it would be very easy to understand just like this video.
That worked well, but it wasn't easy on blue steel crab line. I saw that the previous eye loops were done differently by my brother, a commercial fisherman. He set 3 single under tucks, once per each strand, down the length of the rope for a long running splice. Instead of inserting all three as a 're-weave through. That kind of line is a pain to open far enough to insert a strand, Thanks for sharing, the directions were easy to follow and worked my first try. Strong for sure.
Hey! Glad to hear it! To many this is a complicated and even scary technique. But as you see, it is fairly easy and incredibly powerful. Splices are the strongest ways of joining rope as well as making eyes. Mark
Nice instructions, I have a plated 3 strand rope, and want to splice a loop in to each end. Can not find any tutorials for doing this type of loop, any ideas?
Can anyone tell me how I can make a loop end using 2 ends of (thick) paracord? I am doing a monkey fist dog toy, with a tug handle. My monkey fist ended with 2 paracord strands out, so I tied a bunch of wall knots with them, but now I'm not sure how to create a handle, or loop end, using the 2 ends I have loose now. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
Hey there! The tool is called a "braiders fid" and this is the Osborne 477. Many leatherworking shops carry it, as well as Amazon: amzn.to/2iEYTrY Mark
Mark, Great video, very clear description. Now one question, I have some 4 strand hemp rope 1/2 inch, I want to put an eye on the end. Your description is for 3 strands, what do I change if anything, there is now no CENTER STRAND!TIA John
Hey there! Thank you for commenting! There are several ways you can use to finish. Probably the simplest would be to trim the ends and apply a whipping. Using the ends you could also do a series of crown/wall knots and finish with a footrope or manrope knot. Mark

First video of the matter that actually made sense! Thank you! This video really simplified this splicing thingie very well! 👌🏼
Very clear and easy to follow. Zero waffle in the instructions. Thank you.
Excellent! The key was how you explained the first 3 buried. I think other teachers on this subject should watch this video. 🇨🇦
👍👍 You're the only video I've seen that actually made it easy to learn!
Many thanks, Mark!! You've made the first eye splice video that I can understand! I'm so happy!
You're a star, I've watched several videos explaining the same thing and yours was so much better and more easily understood. Thanks. Got it now.
I watched 3 different videos on how to create the eye-splice. this was by far the clearest and most straight forward video I found. Easy peasy.
Agreed! I should have watched this video first. I would have saved about 5 feet of wasted rope and my temper. LOL.
Agreed!

Mark
Best explanation😮
Explained really well! Well done on a great video. 👍
La sequenza è spiegata bene per la comprensibilità del nodo...- Bravi. 🚩⚓👌
the first video that it explained the way so I could make it correctly!
Agreed! I did have to mark my middle strand so I could see its path in order to know where to put the right strand, but once I did that - easy peasey.
Hello. Do you have video like eye splice have 8 strands? Because your every content is really clear. I already can do that 3 strands.but now i want to know how to do the 8 strands
Hello, I am trying to make a double looped rope, for a peacoat. They call it a cordage. Do you know hoe to make it?
Thank you it was great to see how to do it correctly .

What is a good book to learn to tie knots, splice rope and do whiiping
THANK YOU VERY MUCH BRO YOUR THE BEST.....
Wish you would have shown the Turks head finish when you completed the loop around the rope
Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
could you show us your preferred way of finishing the end?
a useful youtube video, glad i found this
with harder lay ropes, I will roll the slice with my foot to mash it in tighter back and forth
Excellent instructional video.

Thanks for sharing, the directions were easy to follow and worked my first try. Strong for sure.
great video, can I apply this to a 4 ply rope?
Thanks Mark - it's really clear.

What is the name of the tool you are using to separate the strands, an where can I get one.
Hey there!
The tool is called a "braiders fid" and this is the Osborne 477. Many leatherworking shops carry it, as well as Amazon:

It is called a fid. That one looks like C.S. Osborne Fid No. 477
Mark, Great video, very clear description. Now one question, I have some 4 strand hemp rope 1/2 inch, I want to put an eye on the end. Your description is for 3 strands, what do I change if anything, there is now no CENTER STRAND!TIA John
Mark sounds like a Machine Voice.
واقعا احسن یکی هستی وبی نظیر
Excellent, but demonstrating the best way to finish the ends would be useful.
