Splicing video
WX is cr@p today so was playing with rope instead. This is a nice video with a slightly different take on making an eye splice - thought I would share...

I am probably being slow, being a Sunday morning, but that's the way I've always done an eye splice. What's the other way?

I meant to say, if anyone has a link to a technique for "four strand" splicing techniques, I'd appreciate it

There's something very therapeutic about splicing! I would like to learn more than the basic 3 strand ones too

So some 8 strand rope can be sliced with two strands taped together - effectively treating it as 4 strand...
