Good morning @splatts. Great video, and I can see a lot of applications for the eye splice. I had a three line nylon rope that I used to make this eye splice. It was a little difficult in that it had no line with markings, making it a little confusing. I did mark one of the strands with a marker and that helped. Another problem was that since the rope is nylon and not as heavy as I would have liked, the nylon started to unravel. Well here is a picture of my first attempt.

I believe that this is correct but the splicing is a little messy.
Headed to Lowes today to pick up a couple of things and I will be picking up some rope that is heavier and has one of the strands marked. I'll send you a pic of the eye splice using the new rope, I do believe I can make a better one.

Thanks my friend

That looks good from my point of view. 😉. The little “bubble” in the one strand is due to pulling it too tight on the first “tuck” that first one just needs to be snugged up. After a few tucks you can pull on the strands a lot harder and tighten it up. Then roll it in your hands to smooth it out.

Thanks for the feedback @jlsplattsI . I will be taking a look at your first video to see the other knots. thanks again.

no problem, let me know if you have any other questions. Hey I got a question? Are you interested in a Columbia REA hat? If you find me on the FFF discord and I we can private message and I can get your address and send you one.

Thanks once again for the offer. Went to the discord channel and I still have no idea how to get in touch with you. They are asking for your number.
Thanks for being so patient @jlsplatts.

Just post something in the general section then we can figure it out.

I thought I read somewhere linemen are only allowed to post video of in line rope splices and eyes out of yacht braid—what’s this nylon, three-wee-wee stuff?

Hey take it easy!! I used to know how to do that big double braided winch line rope. I have a few tow ropes laying around here that I made. I just forgot all the measurements and what not. 1-1/2 double braided.... Man-Rope. Lol
