G'day again Mark, Sorry to bother you but how would I seal off the ends of sisal rope? I had a ball of waxy, oily stuff I was given by an old rope maker some thirty years ago. I recall he mentioned wax, saddle soap and other stuff was in it. I just melted a piece rolled into a cylinder onto the end, dipped my fingers in cold water and shaped it before it cooled, it seemed to last the life of the rope. I still have it, i think however I cannot find the damned thing. Q). How would you do it? MANY thanks in anticipation. beers, build. BTW, a video of how to melt plastic ropes might be useful. I just use a cigarette lighter and fingers dipped in ice water, also a cold beer works well especially if it catches fire although if you drink whisky I'd suggest you don't use that ! ;-)
G'day Mark, Great job, thumbs up, you are a good teacher, a well thought out lesson clearly showing me how to get the result I wanted. Again Thanks. However you mention a "long splice" but I can't I find your video of how to do that. Have you done that video? if so do you have a link? Thanks, build.
That was an excellent video on splicing. I enjoyed it so much that I’m now subscribed to your channel and requesting to get all your notifications! Thank you!
Hey! It mostly depends on the material of the rope. As a rule, artificial ropes require more tucks since they are considered slippery. For most applications 3 tucks with natural rope are enough (the splice is very strong, stronger than any knot), while with artificial ropes 5-6 would be used in the same case.
This is so useful! My grandfather definitely taught me how to do this as a kid but I didn’t pay enough attention. Thanks!
Thank God and specially you who make me learn short splice and secure points in my Scout and Guide practical test on rope skills
Thanks a lot❤❤😇😇
Thanks for the help❤️

looks like he left you hangin..
Do you just cut the ends off
Great instructions sir .
Do you just cut the end pieces off close to the rope,
Yes, it wont come undone if its tight enough

Why did you create a new channel?
Hey!
This channel includes more general rope work, leather braiding, basket weaving and so on.

Is there a rule of thumb of how much to splice, like ten diameters or so?
