Back splice

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to do a back splice, a handy way of finishing an end of a rope.
Enjoy the video!

[@Suntivar]

My dad once spliced a rope holding a boat on the sea. The thick rope was clearly torn and not well-taken care of. My dad, not knowing who oned the boat, untied the rope and started splicing it. I thought it was the coolest thing how he could make that old rope look nice again.
He then proceeded to tie the rope back where it was. I bet the boat owner was really happy when he realized he didn't have to struggle with that mess of a rope anymore! I'm glad I found a video to teach me what my dad did :D

73 yrs old, and this is my first time, you make it easy,thank you

[@sliding4fun]

I have been looking for this for many years! My Dad and Grandfather used to make lead ropes for the horses using this as the end knot. I thought I would never learn their secret! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@alexkane5608]

Thank you! I have just re-learned how to do this with your very clear video and instruction.

[@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558]

I watched two or three other videos without being able to figure out what to do, but once I watched your video it was clear. Thank you!

[@bigbrother9531]

I forgot how to make this back splice. Years, many years ago I could do this. Thanks for reteaching.

[@harbourdogNL]

I'm watching this with the sound off because the missus is watching the news, and I can still follow it perfectly and can tell that the voiceover must be really detailed! Thanks, am looking forward to watching it with the sound on-if I need to, that is!! Well done.

[@simonwray9550]

Superb videos Mark really easy to follow, thank you

[@kellonpitts2650]

Great well explained video. Thans

[@iconoclad]

I notice your rope strands are twisted anti-clockwise. My rope twists clockwise looking at the end coming out. Does this make any difference to the direction of your first loop in the crown knot?

[@babilsparrow6931]

[@dudesmoreno4481]

Nice tuturial..

[@djecpamba]

Mark- I’ve said this before; your video instructions are by far the best out there. They are easy to follow and very informative. I always come away learning more than I came in with. If I may ask, where about sin the world do you reside? Do you ever attend knotters functions? Would love to meet. Thanks again. Don Eshelman from SF Bay Area.

[@davidneill1158]

Great

[@CelepukEmplep]

Tutorial please..
For 4 strand rope

[@anuhassehiru8886]

❤❤❤❤

[@kinggeorge4976]

Thanks bro

[@Trtlman]

What’s that tool you’re using?

[@markthebraider6720]

Hey!
This is a braiders fid. More specifically, it is made by C.S.Osborne, called #477.
For working with rope, usually a marline spike or a sailors fid will be more appropriate. But this is what I had :).

[@MohdFaiz-mp5dr]

Because I was not making this splice ..but I make now

[@TheMalerdaemon]

Man. Can I help you? Rope. I'm a frayed knot.

[@hotice8885]

Lol!

[@jacobbugsybudoy1474]

Eye splice had always been a piece of cake for me.. this splice, i always make a mistake in making the crown.. thank you for showing it..

[@codiserville593]

Same the crown is always the most confusing part for me

[@Branno46]

Don't keep saying easy its bloody impossible, from the start the crown knot looks nothing like yours and it gets limp and messy as it goes on impossible unless your a professional stopped rewound bid over and over to no avail I d give up
