I choose to use a locked Brumell as well but this technique (assuming a 3 1/2 fid bury and a 1 fid taper) will give you a 90% MBS as long as you do a lock stitch.
Sadly this just isn’t true. Yes, I use a locked Brummell on all of my eyes, but that’s just because I don’t like doing lock stitching. The reality is that lock stitching a 3 1/2 Fid bury with a 1 fid taper and lock stitching will give you 90% of your original breaking strength.
One of the longest vids on the net 17mins then 10 in part 2,,, Brenton sounds insecure and unsure , compare with th-cam.com/video/Xavi1qzlfAI/w-d-xo.html or some of linjespecialist done and dusted in just 7 mins,, There is also a Korean vid where they plait a 2 pair instead of cross stitching using 65mm od and that runs for just 20mins
Great videos, thanks. Shame more people haven't discovered them yet. Very detailed and easy to follow.
I agree 100%
I’m going to swap out my steel cable today!!! Great video.
I love how clear, detailed and well articulated this video was done.
I'm a sailor and i love your tutorial. Much appreciated mate...
Excellent Demo! Thanks!
Very good video and clear n precise how to video
Love the videos, Where do you buy the barrel eyes?
Very well done!
Hey Brenton here is a problem I followed your instructions.. and when I put pressure on the rope. the lock stitch wrap became loose and cam apart.
Dude! We have the same first names. A First!
great video
Could you in theory use 50lb braided fishing line?
Do a brummel.

this is no good, has to be locked like with a brummel. This will come apart when there isn't enough presser on both sides.

Lockstitch unnecessary with safe splicing technique. Please delete this video.
