Samson Rope: Double Braid Class 1 Eye Splice
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 07. 2024
- Samson recommends splicing as the preferred rope termination method. Knots can significantly decrease a ropes strength while, in most cases, splicing maintains 100% of the specified rope strength. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths.

I watched a lot of videos on making eye splices, and I found this one to be the best. My first eye splice turned out perfectly.
Very useful video. Far more helpful than the sheet I got with the splicing kit (different manufacturer). It makes more sense now the break down of the tampering with the pairs to trim. Thanks
Great video. Thanks. Made my first eye splice tonight. With a little more practice I think I’ve got it!
This video and the accompanying instruction sheets are beautifully and so clearly notated. I splice a lot and watch many videos all of which I am glad to have as a reference but this one is outstandingly the best. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
Just nailed another perfect sling (3/4, 9', xl rings on each end) w/ this tutorial, whether youtube for DB's or your writtens for making Ice Tail eye&eyes, I can't say thanks enough for making such an easy, reliable splicing-library a public-resource, it'd certainly sell (but sooo fewer customers of yours would be using spliced-lines and making the most of your ropes!), real up-standing to make them open-source/commons/public-info like you have!!
Super helpful. Thanks for the info.
Parabens, o melhor que já vi. Vou tentar fazer. Brasil.
Thanks for the new video!
Nice, another skill I've added to my resume. Thanks
Good video.
Good very good tanks somas
Besides saying that "length of a fid is 21 diameters of the rope" I'd also add that - looking at these pictures - diameter of the fid is three quarters of the rope's diameter, and the "short fid" mark is positioned at the distance of one quarter of the fid's length from the trailing end.
Now having these data under the belt everybody may make the right fid on his/her own.
Señores yo vivo en panama y quiero saber y aprender es aser ho tejer la soga de amarrar barcos que se ase con 8 sogas de 5 octabo eso yo quiero si alguien me escucha porfabor mandarme el manual
Great video. Thanks. I found this vid to be a great companion to the written instructions. My first attempt took a long time, but turned out great. After making several eye splices it goes pretty quick now. Better than paying $$ for the local chandlery to do it.
One thing that confused me in the instructions is they kept mentioning “the crossover” but did not define what that is. The crossover is the point where the cover is first fed into the core and later the core backtracks into the cover. Hope that helps.
Be advised, if you are working with old stiff rope the splice will be much more difficult. Try unlocking the fibers by first soaking and flexing the rope (at least 6 feet or 2m at the end) and letting it dry.
New rope is very easy to work with.
Thank you for the video. Ignore the naysayers. I’d rather do it according to the manufacturer myself.
Great vido🎃
Como ter acesso a um curso?
My brain hurts, but good info.
would this work on a 24 strand DB arborist rope? like blue moon?
Hi Dimplyshoe642, Samson splice methods are approved only for Samson rope. We would recommend seeking splice instructions from the manufacture of Blue Moon.
Be nice if you linked to the lock stitch
Hi how are you ? good job! thanks for sharing!. I want to ask you what type of rope you use, in order to acquire it. Thanks a lot!
It looks to be a 5/8” Stable Braid, www.samsonrope.com/product/stable-braid---coated
I get to the last steps, inserting the core into the cover. How do you get enough room to bring the fid through? I trimmed the core end and went to my smallest 1/4 inch (practicing with 7/16 line) it jams TIGHT! Using Samson splicing kit...
The best method to pass the core through the cover is to put tension on the core, where the core is coming out of the cover, and slide the cover back, toward where the rope is tied/pinned off, to create enough slack for the fid and core to pass through the cover.
Samson Rope thanks for your reply. It was a rainy weekend and I got a lot of old rope. I tried everything I could, sliding the cover, reducing the core and / or cover, hammering, laundry softener, smaller fid, it wasn’t gunna happen. Finally I saw a video where a D-puller was used. I managed to make one for less than $5.00 and was able to complete a couple of practice eye splices. The area from point X to Z becomes rock hard once the fid is about half way in. My puller is smaller than the 1/4 inch fid and it is still a wrestling match to pull it through.
Timothy C Depending on the rope it can be tough. Used ropes or even certain coated ropes can add difficulty. This one does take some practice.
Right there with you. Takes me a few days to work it through. Haven't found anything that helps.
Greetings:
I would like to ask you for help with a problem I am having (and I apologize as I am using Google Translate).
I recently bought the "Samsong splicing kit for brained ropes" but where I live the ropes I get do not have a braided core but only individual strands.
Do you know any techniques to make the eye on this type of rope?
Saludos:
Me gustaría solicitarle ayuda con un problema que tengo (y pido disculpas ya que estoy usando el traductor de Google).
Recientemente compré el "Samsong splicing kit for brained ropes" pero donde vivo las cuerdas que consigo no tienen el alma trenzada sino solamente hilos individuales.
¿Conoce alguna técnica para hacer el ojo en este tipo de cuerda?
What’s the trick to getting the core back through the cover and core? I always have the most trouble at that part and it looks so easy here.
When burying the core back through the cover it helps to have tension on the section of core that is being passed, while having slack in the cover.
Badass 🎉
I would never be able to do that using gloves! :D
À onde encontro esse topo de agulha
I cannot for the life of me get the core from mark X to Z. I tried a smaller find, still no luck. What’s the trick?
The more you practice the faster you can do it.
Hola buenos dias quiero saber como consegir las herramientas para aser las costuras las aujas o como se llame sale
You can purchase tools for rope splicing from many of our distributors. You can find a distributor near you here: samsonrope.com/resources/find-a-distributor
My cover is not burying into itself at the end of the eye splice, what am I doing wrong.
Sorry you are having some trouble. If possible, try to pull more slack from the body of the rope. If this doesn't work, Mark 2 on the core may need to be remeasured to make up the length needed to bury the splice. The longer this measures, the further the splice will bury. This may make your eye shorter as well.
What the hell is a fid?
What kind of rope is this?
This splice works for double braid polyester, nylon, or olefin fiber rope.
@@SamsonRope How many centimeters is the rope in the film? Name of rope
This is Stable Braid and the size is ~16mm diameter (5/8")
@@SamsonRope Which website is available? ? Can I buy it in Taiwan? ?
Ya .. that didn't work :-( My crossover is ended up in the middle :-( ... 2 days later ... :-) :-) :-) I did it .. I did it .. I did it ... of course it took 4 time to get it right. My 2nd one will work, though. Working with not new 3/8" .. that may have been part of the issue. I'm sure new and larger would be much easier. ... On the last core insertion from X to Z I had to massage the strands with the fid inside to make it large enough to pull the core through. Even so, I did in 3 steps.
you are making it MUCH harder than it is
Really?
Marking and tapering the core is completely redundant. In 20 years, I've never done this, especially in new rope. I could see doing it in some used ropes but I've never done it in those either.
Onece i get the core sticking out the cover i removed all of the slack pull the core out about 1/2" and cut it where it comes out of the cover, remove the slack again to suck the core in then pull the cover over to finish the eye. No need to taper!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
This video would be much easier to follow without the cut scenes and change in camera angles
I’m so lost, too many camera angles!
Sorry about that. We also have PDF's with the instructions on our website if that's better for you. samsonrope.com/resources/how-to-splice-rope
If you are visual like I am, it confusing at first. What’s basically happening is you pull out a specific length of core from a specific measured spot. The magic then happens by stuffing part of the empty cover into the core, and backtracking the core into the cover. It looks like a mess near the end, then it all comes together in the last step.
One thing that confused me in the instructions is they kept mentioning “the crossover” but did not define what that is. The crossover is the point where the cover is first fed into the core and later the core backtracks into the cover. Hope that helps.
This splice is very confusing. You're not alone. Even after a lot of practice and doing them well now, I'm still amazed at whoever thought this up first.
I’m a boat owner of 10 years standing and consider myself reasonable at practical and physical issues and with pretty good upper body strength. Be very wary of these videos. I’ve managed about 20 eye splices and it’s Much , much harder that these videos suggest . Misleading at best and duplicitous at worst . I notice that half of them are cut and edited when it comes to the difficult part. I don’t know where the difference comes. Undoubtedly the rope used has a lot to do with it. But what takes the video 30 seconds I can’t do in two hours of hard struggle. Welcome to be proved wrong or shown why but it’s not nearly as easy as these videos say.
For a start it’s ridiculous to suggest you can pass a fid past the throat of the eye . Not even close to being possible . Even with a D ring puller it’s very hard .
Be warned . All comments welcome
You turned a splice into algebra. Too complicated
Use numbers instead of letters then. If you can't follow this you shouldn't be rigging.
Can this be done with a 5/8”Cotton rope?
Can you make this any more complicated...?
Double braid splicing is complicated!
The absolute worst rope splicing kit on the market. It handicaps one’s splicing technique by making a very simple task a sweaty confusing nightmare. If you buy this kit, and follow these instructions, be prepared for a frustrating failure on many attempts. With other kits, you’ll make a perfect splice on your first try. You’ve been warned.
mangore623 which splicing videos do you recommend, this one is confusing and drawn out .
I used this instructions and it worked out perfect for me. Of course fir time is harder
You must work for the opposition 🤣
