Creating a fixed eye in your Amsteel Blue Winch Line

- How to create a fixed eye in 3/8 Amsteel Blue. This is for trail repairs when you have limited access to tools and materials. The process is the same for any diameter Amsteel Blue other than different bury lengths. 5/16 would be 13", 3/8 would be 16", 7/16 would be 18.5". I have tested this extensively using half of each suggested bury length in a locked brummel and all have held while the failure occurs in the line. I would suggest replacing the whipping with the lock stich, or performing a locked brummel when you return from your trip.

Thanks Kris, very clean eye for the wench. Don't need an ugly knot at the end of my wench rope. My kid is a mountain climber, he would use the other knot. Two different applications.
Thanks! My plow rope took a beating this winter. It looked like it was about ready to break. Now, thanks to your video, I have a nice new eye on the end. : ) Thanks Kris !
Great video! Worked perfectly. It's almost like my winch rope never broke to begin with.
a very informative video, I use a zig zag stitch with some small shock cord to finish it off. we also use a tube thimble when it is for use with amsteel blue, that way, the thimble can't drop out of the eye if the rope gets stretched. cheers
VERY cool. You are a great teacher. Thank you for taking the time to share such a cool technique. I am creating a fixed eye in a winch cable right now. It's only for an ATV plow, but I plan to lockstitch this badboy since most of my customers hold the switch for too long stressing the cable while reeling in the cable. :-)
Thank you. I find these to be very handy for clearing my boat to the dock.after unloading. Again thanks
This definitely helped me with my Amsteel winchline. I'm not sure what is up with that Michael dude. People like that aren't even worth your time.
Thank you so much for showing this, I have been trying to figure it for months now and resorted to just behing and whipping but I like your way better it looks so much neater 😄
that was a great video, thank you. I did one as I watched it and came out just like yours. about to go pull and set the line
Nice video. Wish the person who pretty much verbally assaulted you knew what he was talking about. Its a shame people will take away from this that a figure eight on a bight is acceptable for winching and rigging. He might also check out Samson's website where it states that as a 12 strand class 2 rope, this splice will maintain 90 to 100% of the ropes strength new and used. I would also hate to damage that wonderful figure eight on a bight (or is it bite?), when it is pulled against the fairlead, then I guess you can tie another and another. But I guess thats what happens when you really have no idea as to what you are talking about. Great job Kris
Seems to me, a better location for the yellow/black whipping would be a bit farther into the rope from the eye. The outer woven rope tightens against the inner end like a Chinese finger puzzle under tension. But before tension is applied, the inside end can slide apart more easily. It should keep the inner end in place better if the end of it is anchored into the tightening outer layer.
Also, when the end is pulled through the side and the tape is removed, I wonder if binding the cut ends together with an adhesive would be beneficial. I wouldn't use an adhesive that cures hard. If the adhesive binds the inner end to the outer weaving, that could result in uneven stresses on fibers of the outer line when it is tensioned. Maybe a small amount of clear silicone adhesive. The adhesive should be allowed to cure while the line and eye splice is under tension.
Amazing Video! Thanks for Sharing this. As a Sailor, the more knots I know, the safer I am !
Thanks Kris for a very informative video. Now I understand how to make one myself
Excellent demo!
that's the best most helpful video I've seen yet, thanks for sharing....
Thank you for sharing your Knowledge Sir !!!
this is beautiful braiding in a rope to hold a multi purpose of everything, thanks for sharing
Excellent video so easy to follow
All well good if the rope is new , I tried splicing on rope wrapped around my atv winch for the last 4 years. After about 2 hours of hopelessness I tied up a snake knot:)
Bill Fleming yep, "aged" rope can be a lesson in futility.
Excellent video Kris, Thanks.
Nice video, keep up the good work.
Helping people help themselves.

Loving the whipping knot!
Awesome! You saved me a ton of trouble with this video.
Marvelous explanation. Many thanks.
Thank you, that was an informative video.
Great video - thanks for taking the time to post.
An excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very good!
Ooook, so when this is over, can you tell me where to find a video on how to make a fixed eye on my rope? Thaaaanks! It’s probably under the same category of Scientific principles behind black holes, and gravitational forces on the human body on Mars
Great Video!! Worked like a charm!! Thanks a million!
Thanks, we just replaced an old eye with a Viking thimble.. The masking tape was too sticky so we used cellophane packing tape instead. Then it slid through very easily. My wife then lock stitched it with fishing line.. It look like factory

No entiendo el idioma, pero la explicación me fué de mucha ayuda, Gracias!
awesome video, thank you so much
very impressive, thanks for sharing.
Hello,
I will be using amsteel 1/2" for a life support system. Can you post a video or tell me where I can find how to stitch and secure a fixed eye splice in amsteel so it won't come undone, even in extreme situations?
Awesome video. Thank you.
Great video! What about a hangman's noose to create an eye? I have used it before and has worked well. Just trying to think of the cons. Love the wippit!
+Jason S this passese through pulleys and wont unravel...save the noose for our democrat politicians
:) I like that idea!
@@georgecrown684 -- Hanging it too good for them... They need to be drawn and quartered...
I had a brain fart when I did this video. The proper bury lengths, which will be your first mark measurements are as follows.....
5/16 = 19.75"
3/8 = 23.75"
Do I actually need a metal thimble in my winch line- I plan on dumping the fixed hook and go with an open eye and then use a soft shackle- is that sound reasonable? Great videos BTW.

Thank you for sharing!!!
Quite informative thanks for the vid
More importantly, what was in your dryer?

excellent thanks for sharing this
But this splice does not look like it would take any load. Does the whipping really make the splice as strong as amsteel? I would have expected some braiding to occur.
I was always taught to do three tucks first. is there a benefit or not?
Thanks man!
get a good pair of trauma shears like EMS carry. they are cheep enough and are great tools on the trail.
the way you do it works but you do not need ribbon measured.just with the chopsticks you are correct.tu have a line in the middle of your chopstick .it's a measure
Great vid. thank you
Thanks for the info.
great video
You could not do that with Sampson Breaded line with a bearded core. You also don't have to wipe the line or run a stitch the length of the splice. ( Old Navy )
great video very informative quick question, what is the strength of that eye now? Is it as strong as the line or 80% or 50%?
More than 100%. Unless you put that eye over something sharp, the rope will break beyond the splice area before that eye fails.
nice video. have you ever done a tuck bury eye splice on this type of line?
wao very good video congratulations
Excellent
This is a good video
i just bought a amsteel winch cable ita 3/16 and you tell me how to make the eye like you did on this one
That's perfect.... Thanks a lot. I broke my winchline on Friday and instead of buying a new one for $400, I'm gonna buy bulk for $100 and make my own. I also put two fixed loops in my old line. Another question. Vw hat is the ideal material to use for the locking stitch?
I use a product called "Lash It" from Samson which is basically a dyneema twine. But any twine will do. Masons or twisted from Home Depot or lowes will get the job done.
+PbNTheory any spectra fishing line will work great...go to a tackle store and ask for some from there trash can where they spool up reels with new line or hit up a friend that fishes
Unwaxed dental floss.
Commercial tow truck and crane operators still use steel cable (wire rope) and I have not seen them switching to synthetic rope... Just something to think about when you are tossing money at the synthetic winch line fad...
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire I drive a HD tow truck and I switched to synthetic about a year ago. It’s great for most situations. It absolutely is not a fad. The fact that you believe that proves you don’t really know anything about it 🤷🏻♂️
Buen trabajo Good Job
Thanks very much.
I was really interested. But, the "inches" problem. .... I'm used to the metric system, so I don't understand your Inches calculations. Sorry. I'v quit on 4.14 ;...
+Bob Craen if only there was some sort of way to convert these units. oh well.
+Bob Craen really you need a tape at all?...you should hire someone to do this for you that has a brain
+Bob Craen You should make your mind up. You liked the Scrap Bin Challange 12inch disc sander video which has the word 'inch' in the title but had to stop watching this one because it features inches.
The inches he's using is the length of the fid. He didn't do any calculations. Does using metric make you too stupid to measure the fid in mm?
Seems to me that you won't have to be so precise with the taper if all it was for was to feed the end through the middle. There is a better way. Much more time involved but worth it to make a self-locking braid.
A good taper serves more to maintain the strength of the rope. If there was no taper, the harsh transition where the bury stops would contribute to a weakened rope for the same reasons as a knot.
Nice vid...Thanks
Thanks
where does the tapered end of the line end up? I don't understand why you pulled it out...
Nice video, thank you. Can you tell me, where I can order this ropes?
outstanding
I think I hear the clothes dryer in the background?
can you demonstrate the iron fist knot?
You strung that out a bit, didn't you?
Berdum. lol
So the lock stitch is what I did to mine. That is just to prevent is from slipping out? And when you're winching with it, the surface area and squeeze of the outer part of the splice squeezes on the inside that is fed through, and that does the locking of the line?
Correct.
Nice video. Next time please turn off the dryer. : )
I actually found that sound in the background strangely relaxing. Or maybe it was Kris' calm voice, or both. In any case, it beats the HELL out of the loud heavy metal music a lot of DIY TH-camrs insist on bombarding ya with!!
Just like Chinese finger cuffs!
هل عقدة واحدة بالخيط الاصفر كافية ؟
What would be the disadvantage to just double knotting the rope around the hook? Just as a temporary fix? I'm guessing that would be dangerous or something?
you can do it in a pinch--
+Ben Hayenga From all I have read it is significantly weaker.
Nice.
can you explain the purpose of a thimble in the loop/eye? the one that i have is bent up from being used and i was going to just go back without one if it wasn't a necessity..
+Joey Withers You mean the metal piece that is in the loop end of many ropes? If so that is there to protect the rope. Any slight movement of the rope under tensions can either cause a failure or some pretty serious wear. For instance say your steel shackle has a bur on it. That bur would damage your rope where the metal in your "thimble" will protect it.
How does this splice compre to a brummel splice?
ein Meisterwerk,
I always round up to 8 inches
So ive watched this video, and your video on doing a locked Brummell with one end of the rope. You say the locked Brummell is a more permanent fix. So out of curiosity, since the locked Brummell appears to only need tape and a knife, and the technique in this video requires something to stitch it with, why wouldn't you just do the locked Brummell in the first place?
Because a locked brummel, if you are going to have something in the eye such as a thimble, hook etc, requires access to both ends of the line. If the line is spooled on a winch, its more work to pull all the line off just to gain access to both ends.
+Kris Casey Actually not tru at all. a locked brummel splice just requires you to invert one of the loops when you make the splice. really easy to do.
+Pierre Mitham, is there a video of how to do this somewhere?
i think you meant 90 degrees?

Parabéns Brasil 👍🇧🇷
Where did you buy the rope?
so whats this hold weight wise
Are you printing money in the background...LOL...
Can this be done with the 12 strand, 1/4" Amsteel Blue?
Yep, it certainly can.
Kris Casey
Well, after several attempts, I did it:):):) Tip size of the taped tapered end is very important!! Thanks Kris:)
Bryan Teal Yes, very important. And as stiff as you can get it. In the future, sometimes it helps if you can use something to open up the line prior to starting the bury. Knitting needles work well and if you get one of the hollow ones, you can cut off the blunt end and use it as a fid.
Kris Casey
I did open a "hole", with a dental flosser:) I found that the tip, if too large, would catch and if too small, would sneak out the side, prematurely. Eventually, I got the tip size just right and made two eyes in just a few minutes:)
+Bryan Teal you can do this with any braided line...i do it with 60 pound test spectra fishing line by inserting a clear monoflilament nylon fishing line inside it then whipping it and adding tac glue...as little as 1 foot of mono can hold past the breaking strength of the weaker link
You got some coins in the dryer...
it's teamster hitch
Whip it whip good
sailors use a metal tool call a " marlin spike "
technically a marlin spike is for wire cable/rope. fids are for soft lines
No, marlinspikes predate wire cable/rope and were specifically designed for working with rope and twine. They have an expanded role since the invention of wire cable/rope but they are originally and still a rope working tool. Fids are generally made of wood, bone or UHMW and as such are limited to soft line work. Marlin spikes do much more because they are made of metal but their original function is still the same.

Not properly braided !!! Under severe stress such netting stretched !!!
What was that steel feeder you used and where can I buy them.Thanks
+Thomas Bridges I assume you are talking about the fid. Do a google search for "tubular fid for sale" and you should have a plethora of hits. I prefer not to suggest specific places to purchase supplies as I don't want it to be confused with an endorsement.

That makes a great nose!😆
keep the action on the camera please
valla güzel
Shit I thought he was going to splice it all together not just make an eye run it inside of its self
You call that seizing.
