Hi. Thanks for your video about Eyed splice knot. I already know how to do it but your explanation are so clear even if I need to put the speed to 0.75 to understand. You speak a little bit to fast for my french ears 😃. I appreciate when you give some examples of knot using and I also like the place where you make your video.
really fun explanation!! I just finished splicing eyes into 50' of this same (very cheap unravelly) rope to make it into mooring lines. great jokes. gonna tie a dragon bowline now for my kids.
What about an “Ear” Splice? Ok…. Just TEASING and watching this on my EarPad…. SMILE… GOOD JOB, BTW… I SAVED IT in my teaching video file along with how to do LAUDRY…. Very practical
Nice I have that butane soldering kit you recommended and that book too. Thanks for the informations and those two items I mentioned from your video. Now I can tie this 3 strand eye splice......
Good work. Surprising how many people living on, even at paid levels can't splice. Get frustrated when I show them and rather I just do it for them. Possible you are keeping this very simple and clear. More knot jokes, can do more of this style of ending.
Would you believe that the large rope was Emily's second splice, ever? The small rope was what I thought her on the day before. It's really that easy. Clark Give it a go.
If it works it works I guess but that's actually how you would splice 4 strand. Check out my tutorial if you want to know how you're actually supposed to splice 3 strand. It'll be tighter and look better. Check it out.
Perhaps an addition: roll the splice (thin rope) in your hands afterwards to set the strands in, you´ll be surprised how much thinner the splice will be, or jump up and down on it or hit it with a rubber hammer for thick ropes, same effect. I would tend to agree with the comments below that each of the 3 strands should be set at 120° (always did this) at least for cosmetic reasons, don´t think it makes any difference to the strength of the splice though as long as there are enough underlays below. PS really like the video
Thanks for the demo. 🙂 To consider for next time: different colour tape for each stand, and mention which one you're working with. It's totally possible to track without that, but it would have made it much easier.
Ha, now I know, thinks I have been getting the first move wrong…obvious when you think about it. Something I have learned, a pair of scissors is very useful on a boat, much less chance of slicing your finger open.
Sorry , but this isn’t the way to do it. After the first 3 strands have been sticked through there should be 3 strands, on the same level, 120 degree rotated. This will give equal strength on each strand while in your system only one strand locks-up the metal eye.
Exactly. The first two strands are fed on the same side of the splice; then turn the splice over and feed the third strand from the other direction. Then feed them all in series until the splice is finished. The strands should not all finish in a line on one side of the splice, but equally spaced around the circumference of the splice (120* apart.)
@@markthomasson5077 I don’t know exactly about the strength but the 3 strand method is written about in the 16 century by the British Marine. And never changed! There must be a reason for this I believe
Clark:. I've always done my splices this way. They taper in and out nicely and most importantly the strands are always in the direction of load. If you enter the standing part with all three strands at the same level the strands have to go kinda sideways to wrap around. I'm not explaining this well. The trick to doing it my way is to twist the second and third strands together once after tucking the first. I feel this approach gives a strong and pretty splice.
Hate to be "that guy" but this doesn't seem correct at all. The hardest part of splicing is getting the first 3 tails through. The way to check if the first 3 tails are correct is if the all come out at the same "plane", like the tails are all horizontal compared to the main line, not like the 1st tail in the first "plane", second tail further down the rope and third tail even further down the rope.....kinda hard to explain in txt but basically you've got a single strand keeping the eye-let secure when a real splice would have 3 strands keeping it secure. You know you've done it wrong when you've pushed the first 3 tails through and they are on different windings of the main line. Sorry really hard to explain in text
I like the content, but your lead in is very very long and you repeated it several times. I’m not being mean, just providing a suggestion that would make it easier to watch

I guess that marlin spike with the bottle opener might be why pirates wear eye patches. Drunk + Sharp objects.... :) Nice video. Very punny.
Thanks again for teaching us new tricks lol
Afraid not cracked me up. and the "Dragon" bowline is an instant classic.
I am going to have to figure out how to work that into my dad jokes repertoire.

Great post Emily ✨️
You Crack me up 🤣
Love you and Clark and this channel ❤️ 🌞🌴⛵
Thanks for the tutorial. Love your sense of humor 😀
Great video Emily!
I am "3D challenged" but you empowered me.

I still use MPH instead of Knots…. OK…. I am stuck on teasing mode today… I really do LEARN incredible “stuff” for LIFE from you two.. THANKS
Well done Emily, I don't sail yet I do like learning rope tricks.
Corny jokes and word play are appreciated too.
(former yard lady here)

First time I actually see how to do this type of eye (eyelet?) splice work! I thought it would be so much more complicated. Really neat! Thanks!!
I like the jokes at the end you should keep on doing that with your videos.
E X C E L L E N T Step-by-step Splicing Video 👍
“Where were Knots invented?”…. That is a GREAT PUN QUESTION! I love most puns like this… I am addicted to “punography!”
Loving your jokes! 🪢

Hi there, thanks for the extremely helpful video. In your hands it all looks easy.

Clark
Give it a go.
@@Clarks-Adventure I will most definitely try! Thanks you both!
Straight forward easy to understand instruction. Thank you! Great video
Very neat job!
Awsome, you should do one on chain splicing and octoplait maybe?
If it works it works I guess but that's actually how you would splice 4 strand. Check out my tutorial if you want to know how you're actually supposed to splice 3 strand. It'll be tighter and look better. Check it out.
Thanks for this. When can we see a finished product for the air conditioning unit?
They are available now at MarineDCAC.com.
We put out three videos just a bit ago showing the installation of one.

Along with the eye splice, you taught me that dad jokes can be tolerable as long as they are told by a pretty girl.🤣
👍😎
Rope to chain splice please
Noted. Maybe after a bit.
You lost me at perpendicular. How do I identify perpendicular? Thanks
If the strands you are about to enter into that make up the standing end aren't perpendicular to the strand you are weaving in... Flip the work.
@@Clarks-Adventure Thank You

Agree noticing this also that this is unconventional
Maybe need to try both ways, and see if actually that different

can not decide who you sound like,,, Sandra Bullock maybe?
I don't know either.
