Thanks to your video I was able to redo the eye splice for my 3/4'' dyneema (7200ft )rope from my 45 000 pound puller on my construction site. Thanks again

[@RiggingDoctor]

So glad to read this!

[@jroyablacksmith]

Literally same here

[@wroberts1707]

Most useful thing You tube has ever chucked at me in the middle of the night.

[@4wilmo]

I can't stress just how helpful this video is. thank you

[@rikard6273]

I have looken at alot of different ways to make a dyneema eye splice. This is by far the easiest way to do it. Thx alot!

[@Westcoastjazzer]

I thought I wasn't going to learn anything today! Now I have found and learned the correct way to tie these splices! Thank You for the lesson, you are a great teacher. Now I just need to find the rope I bought and get busy!

[@michaelbiondi8524]

By far the best demo of a Duneema eye splice I have seen.

[@antonywardle]

That explained my loop failure. I've redone my loop with your second "knot". Seems to be a lot stronger now. Thanks

[@StephenWalkerAhoy-Boats]

Great demo. I always wondered how splicing was done and you've made it look a lot easier than I ever imagined to be. Thanks.

[@RiggingDoctor]

😎

[@holden_free1347]

Just spliced my first Dyneema line and it came out great ! Thanks for the awesome video!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Awesome!!

[@avidhuntr]

Best I've watched yet. You've made it simple

[@RiggingDoctor]

👍 Thanks!

[@robertorzech7369]

That was great . You are a great Dyneema knot teacher. I've learned so much from you. Thank You for sharing. I will share it too !

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks! 👍

[@karldavidson2071]

kudos that was a master class

[@LydieBaillie]

Thanks! I'm replacing all my running rigging with dyneena and this helps alot making eye splices

[@RiggingDoctor]

Glad to hear it!

[@parkerssafes]

Thank you! You are a gifted instructor. I’ve learned a lot from your channel. God bless you guys.

[@parkerssafes]

I second that!

[@kevinDouglasWhite]

This is perfect. I have been trying to get a handle on how to splice dyneema rope for a line of dog leashes I am developing. Thank you very much for the clear and detailed tutorial.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Those will be indestructible leashes!
I would love to see them when you get them finished.

[@SVStoneAge]

Some much needed info as I move toward replacing my standing rig with dyneema. Thanks very much.

[@davidmaisel8062]

Mind blown!
Master class splicing!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thank you!

[@jerrystott7780]

That's the same splice we used mushing for the tug lines hooking the dogs to the mainline. Cool.

[@Tractors_and_trees]

Between this and the lockpicking lawyer, the nerdy genius is fantastic!

[@MrRokentin]

Excelente, my friend, después de esto a iniciar business. Thank you!

[@asealysailor988]

Thanks a lot MASTER RIGGING-DOCTOR,I learned a lot and easy way of splicing a braided rope

[@LeonBerrange]

Really good demo many thanks for your time and expertise

[@johnguirguis2244]

thanks ,this is an eye opener for me

[@seanmurphy1348]

Your a fountain of knowledge!

[@allynonderdonk7577]

If I ever need to do Dyneema rigging I will look back on this video. I probably won't be at the decision point for a few years yet. Certainly a very informative video and I certainly support its creation.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Just shoot me an email when you are ready and I can walk you through the whole process 😉

[@novasloco]

Thank you for this video! It’s super helpful!

[@gregpowell1962]

Thanks, I will use that info soon, I hope.

[@svdoinitright7519]

I'm building a Lazy Jack right now, so a whole bunch of eye splices in very small Dyneema, several with rings in the eye. Great learning experience.

[@RiggingDoctor]

That’s a great way to get a ton of practice!

[@chriscraft77022]

you earned a sub.. i was about to do a video on this because i bought a synthetic rope for my winch that was too long.. and the factory rope had that fancy loop you did.. i was watching videos and they all used the string.. i knew the string was a bad idea from first sight.. maybe ill do a video without the fids because i just have to do 3 of them

[@tiborkiss9186]

Great explanation!

[@jamessarrett4169]

A handy trick: When you taper the bury at the end, if you start pulling yarns out from the bitter end instead of the standing part first, the rope won't fall apart as quickly or easily. It also help make it clearer which yarn is the next one to pull out.
Thanks for making al your videos and keep it up!

[@RiggingDoctor]

I’ll give that a try next time!

[@j-claudehurault1161]

Très bonnes explications , merci à toi.

[@SPACEMIKEB]

Thank you, this was very helpful!!

[@rachaelinjustus1481]

I have never even spliced a rope but I love this video

[@jonathanoasis]

08:15 While pushing the fid thru, you want equal number of strands on both sides of the fid, to ensure the lock is equally strong on all sides. 12-braid so count 6 strands on each side of the pushed through fid.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Very true, otherwise it will be a weak lock!

[@thepavementendsnow1901]

Excellent tutorial, thank you 🍻

[@persternas2118]

Excellent description - really!!!

[@whathree]

Thank you so much for thus great tutorial! Being an "old" guy, i cut my teeth "pun intended Doctor" .. on 3 strand line. this seems not only quicker but looks much neater. You have a great RUclips site.

[@beigenomadscaravangroup8171]

First time viewer, thanks to seeing you on this weeks Fair Isle episode. Thanks for the tutorial on splicing.

[@RiggingDoctor]

You are very welcome! We had a great time with them in Greece 👍

[@jaymac3621]

You got 3 likes from me. Making crossbow lines and looking for different splices and this is working perfectly. Much appreciated.

[@jimfromri]

Great video and very timely. I’m going to put my new knowledge to use this weekend. Thanks. -Jim

[@RiggingDoctor]

Glad to get this out a relevant time for you!

[@ScottSmith-bx5xv]

Great videos. Keep up the good work.

[@sonnytrinh386]

Thank you so much. Excellent method

[@RiggingDoctor]

👍

[@adrianthekiwi6396]

Nice. Thank you, just made an extension rope out of a winch line for my 4x4.

[@schaufuss]

Perfect 👌 Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You explain very well.

[@RiggingDoctor]

😊

[@flydr2]

Many thanks... I'm now about to start switching to synthetic rigging and your videos are extremely useful

[@RiggingDoctor]

You will love it! Ours is now 9 years old and still going strong

[@LaraEardley]

Great video on splicing, thanks, fair winds!

[@MrHellsteeth]

Super video- many thanks!

[@RiggingDoctor]

You’re welcome

[@seifsplace]

These are great videos... thank you

[@RiggingDoctor]

👍

[@TheBeer4me]

Good explanation!

[@alinds68]

Fantastic! I do parachute repair for a living and we use eye splices at the ends of the lines(1/4" braided nylon, not Dyneema...or 550 paracord for these parachutes). I noticed years ago that there was a weak spot at the end of the tail, lots of snapped lines there. I started cutting back half the cords about 1-1/2 to 2 inches to create the same tapered effect and some of my coworkers don't really understand the concept when I explain it. They are about to watch this video LOL. Thanks for the validation!!!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Glad it will help you explain taper your your coworkers :)

[@ricdonato4328]

alinds68: as a former Army paratrooper and Army Ranger, I very much appreciate your attention to detail. THANK YOU!

[@bzelarchannel1859]

Thanks for this, I'll do it

[@ThatGuy-dj3qr]

Wow! Very cool! Thanks so much for this excellent video.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Glad it was helpful for you!

[@maffysdad]

This is the one I want to practice till I get as good as the Rigging Doctor... Ok, well, maybe in several years, but for now I just want to do this one splice. I have LOTS of plans for its use, and this video makes it look so easy... Course, typical, I've left the figs and rope at my parents so can't practice tonight, instead I'm doing chores...

[@otovermillion]

Thank you

[@wilfredomique8412]

great technique

[@fralnima]

TOP! perfect! Thank you!

[@waynemazan7485]

You’re welcome!

[@Thatdavemarsh]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@RiggingDoctor]

You are very welcome

[@phuber1000]

Brilliant, I was always scared of splicing this but not anymore.

[@RiggingDoctor]

It’s honestly the easiest stuff to splice once you get the knack of it.

[@terencesmith4137]

Very informative! Thanks, Herbie 😉

[@RiggingDoctor]

Anytime!

[@matthewvincent3764]

CIDs yoohcoob

[@andrewbrown2063]

I just experimented with these splices on double braid dyneema (with cover), including the Mobius Brummell Lock, it’s more complicated but comes out ok. The trick is to get everything very tight, and then to be gentle getting the splice into the cover at the end. I then finished with self- amalgamating tape to tidy up and protect at bit. I also use covered line for the lashing, so everything important is out of the UV. I’m in the subtropics so the sun is brutal in summer.

[@RiggingDoctor]

That will be the strongest double braid splice ever! 😎

[@loitubiera2634]

Thanks for the video.

[@RiggingDoctor]

You’re welcome

[@toddjohnson2897]

Well done!

[@lancerudy9934]

Great video! Thanks

[@RiggingDoctor]

You are very welcome

[@MatMcCrudden]

Thank you! this came in very handy for my hammock mozzie net.

[@RiggingDoctor]

👍

[@DavidMartin-ex2rv]

I used this on the ATV winch line - seems to work great - thanks!

[@RiggingDoctor]

You’re welcome

[@noeltriggell5296]

Thanks

[@zackworrell535]

Sweet watch!

[@HiPpYBoAtErS]

Found you guys from bums on a boats episode, will follow you guys , rig looks good

[@patreilly4293]

What a great video! Thanks

[@RiggingDoctor]

You are very welcome :)

[@BalticLab]

Excellent video!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks :)

[@davidresmini51]

I would watch one of my line boss do this it's always nice to remember the all things from the past i wish more people would do the same

[@Gladtobemom]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@MR-yp7mu]

Awesome, I am glad I found your channel. I would like to re-rig my boat with synthetic rigging.

[@RiggingDoctor]

That’s excellent! Synthetic is definitely the future....in my humble opinion

[@jameslippert3523]

How do you determine the correct size product for your rigging?

[@junkman713]

That was awesome.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thank you

[@mikemoyer]

This is a really nice walk-through. Do you have a similar tutorial for a rope with a core? Like stay set from NE ropes?

[@RiggingDoctor]

I’m currently working on it! Be sure to subscribe so that as soon as it comes out you get notified ;)

[@mseaton92]

very nice! thank you

[@RiggingDoctor]

You are welcome

[@scotto5548]

Brilliant!!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks!

[@peterhubertus]

Perfect. Thanks a lot.

[@RiggingDoctor]

You are welcome!

[@samTollefson]

Thanks for that great tip!
I had got my hands on a large amount of 5/16" Kevlar line that I use for camping, hammocks, etc. Since I can't burn the ends to keep them from fraying I found using 3-1 glued heat-shrink tubing a good way to seal the ends. I leave the tubing an 1/8" or so longer than the rope end and it shrinks down to a nice blunt point. This has worked well for me, but I am no pro, I wonder if you have a better method of doing this?

[@crackerjack4790]

Well done.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks!

[@PaulSmithGsy]

nice! Just what I needed. Thanks

[@RiggingDoctor]

Glad it was helpful

[@aussietaipan8700]

Thanks matey. I have a Farrier F22 with Dyneema lines for the rigging and halyards, I'm the type of guy who likes to do things myself and I wanted to know how my lines were spliced so well by my rigger. This video spells it out perfectly and thanks for sharing your knowledge. One thing I would like to know is the best way to create a jib raising system using a KZ furler system?

[@RiggingDoctor]

Definitely a 2:1 block at the top would help to achieve the proper tension.

[@johnosmers4374]

Thankyou.

[@glennj6465]

Brilliant 🤩

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks!

[@adrianking9758]
