Outstanding presentation all around, I have not seen a full wire rope splice like that since I was 14. I worked on a two masted tops’l schooner, traditionally rigged with the exception of bottle screws instead of dead eyes. I remember working with the man who did the splices for our standing rigging, I remember the 5 gal buckets of lard we used to grease the rigging and then wrapping it in canvas and then creosote impregnated jute that we wrapped around the standing rigging. I learned a lot from those shipwrights in England and there’s no life quite like that of a sailor! I wish I could come be your 57 year old apprentice! 🤣 liked and subscribed sir! 🇺🇸⚓️💪👊
Nice job. I use the vice grips too!
The spike can disrupt the passivated surface but I would be a lot more worried about 302/304 going active (rusting) than, like you say, the 316. Anyone who is worried about it can easily passivate the spliced area afterwards with ospho, then washing it out with fresh water. You don't even need to get the leather wet, and you don't need to induce any current.

i have some wire rope for my rig. prefer splicing to crimp fittings. the wire is made up of a core.....then 9 thin strands then on the outside 9 thicker strands. how would i go about multi layer like that? then wire rope is 10mm thick in total.
Where can I find the video with the thimble spliced into the eye? I haven’t done a wire splice for some years so looking at stirring the grey matter. Great video.
Would you like me to show you how to splice a thimble into wire rope
