- This three strand splice is used when you need to maintain a similar thickness of rope. Step by step instructions for splicing two ropes together using a long splice in this detailed knot tying video tutorial. The long splice is not often used as considerable strength loss occurs compared to the short splice. It is usually employed in an emergency when no spare rope is available and a broken rope needs to pass through a pulley.
Advantages: Keeps the rope close to its original diameter
Disadvantages: Difficult and involved splicing procedure.

Just did a long splice on my 16mm anchor rope. Followed your video all the way 👍 THANK YOU 🙏
Good instruction. Thanks for laying that out so carefully.
thanks! so easy to understand, currently doing a course for offshore fishing and its all knots / splices
Thank You so much for taking the time to make these videos, immensely helpful!!!!!
Hola. No entendi nada de lo que dices. Jajaja. Pero basto con ver lo que hacias y lo entendi. Muchas gracias. Pense que habia hechado a perder un trabajo con soga y noooo, lo salve gracias a ti. Eres maravilloso. Abracitos desde Chile 🇨🇱❤🇨🇱
This was terrific.. Thanks!
Wonderful!! Just make a small ferris wheel and wanted to use rope instead of wirerope.....needed a long splice but forgot how to do it....and thank you so, so much.....did it your way and it's perfect!!! People like you whom share knowledge are to be admired.....God bless....from Samoa....Bruno
Excellent video for splicing church bell ropes too. Most of the comments are related to boats, or fishing, but this works for church bell ropes too. Hemp based and the newer synthetic polyester ropes.
There is a finishing technique one of our 'seasoned' rope splicers uses with the ends of the rope to splice those individual strands, then a thin cord to tie it for additional strength and longevity that I need to understand...
Great video though @WhyKnot!
Lol that's why I'm here
Great vid!
Man is genius ♥️
Parabéns! Excelente explicação e comentário.
Nicely done.
BRAVO
So, for hauling lobster traps I should probably stick to the short splice for strength? Any good splices for having a 6 foot pig tail mid rope that would go through the hauler nice? Thanks. Great learning videos.
Pretty amazing... thanks!
Well done 👍🏻.
You da man.
Awesome 👌
Being from the States missed the part about the Hair jell. Great suggestion. Will make sure to raid the wife's cabinet next time I am splicing.
Thanks.
Good job
Very interesting
oh great right at the start interlocking you assume we know how to do this GENIUS!
Good
Thank you for demonstration, enjoyed. Have you thought of tucking the tails into the centre, makes a smoother rope to go around sheaves & pulley wheels, rope last’s lot longer, From an old rope splicer.
Thanks so much. I am redoing my cat tree and can’t get one strand that will do the entire post. I hate how these tricks are almost forgotten about.
I tried but cause I have to join a rope in order to get a ring (thus are two leads of the same rope), it is a bit more difficult cahuse the revoluzoin of the wires is at the opposite, to the opposite side ...
Thankyou u so much!!
Bravo
would this work for 2 inch tug rope? not for full strength. I have some chewed up portions of the rope i want to cut out and splice the good parts together to use it for strongman training. its 3 strand rope.
GOOD
Merci.
splicing a new rope looks neat but a old used rope is challenging explain
Wow!
I'm not very good at splicing and after watching this video, not only have I learned something but I now miraculously have two useless pieces of rope! It's a good guide, on my end it's user error, lol.
Wonderful! Can a long or short splice work with two ropes each with adifferent diameter? ie 7mm to a10mm
Would you do the same technique with a 6 strand wire line?
OK gracias estás muestras de unión de cavos
What are you doing, if you have a four strand rope?
You also leave one in the center or you twist two to the right and the other two to the left?
How much of strength is lost thru such splice? I'm thinking of using it for extending my anchor rope which runs thru a Windlass.
A manipulation in the structure of an origal length of rope will be weaker at that point of restructure. Just how much weaker is debatable!
did you say use hedge oil to keep the curl? sorry
Haha. Hair gel.
Can u tell me the difference between Short Splice and Long Splice?
G'day Mate, Hair Gel was something ponces like John Travolta and I used in the eighties (except he looked good), it's probably only available in antique shops ;-).
*Thanks* for the tip, I tried it and it works well on sisal and softer ropes. I have some sort of soft synthetic rope here with a natural fibre (cotton?) tracer through it for grip. A bugger to splice but the gel did the trick.
beers, build
Hair gel is widely used and sold at any pharmacys , WalMart, Target and other places where toiletries are sold. There are numerous strengths and brands. Every hair brand, makes a gel in the line.

G'day Mate, Do you use a splicing tool? It's like a hollow tapered cone, cut in half. Thanks

@@saltyseadawg4768 : Thank you. Are there other names for it?
Quite likely but that’s all I’ve ever known them as. I’ve a couple of various sizes. As for use, it’s just a case of sticking it through and then feeding the strand to be tucked down the groove. Then there tools for splicing braided line that are basically a big hollow needle.
@@saltyseadawg4768 : I've got one that I use. Perhaps this bloke should show it and how it is used? I made a tapered spike with a handle that is very useful too.
Making your own tools is great. If you’re on Facebook , Marlinspike Sailor’s Guild is a great resource.
At 2:34 does it matter which strand goes over the other when tying the overhand?

That's interesting however I doubt if any commercial fisherman would use this as it's definitely not as strong. Although it might work for another purpose.
This is the standard splice that's been used for hundreds of years, on thousands of commercial ships. Basically, it's the only way to splice two shorter lengths of line and still have them be able to pass through pulleys and the like.
@@threeriversforge1997 that might be true for Merchant ships, however on commercial fishing vessels we dont use that style, furthermore I have been 9n many Asian, Russian, Portuguese and Norwegian bulk carriers and have never seen this style of splicing.
@@xChromerSatanasx We don't use it now only because we have ready access to mass-produced lines of nearly infinite length. Back in the day, that wasn't the case and they did what they had to do in order to make things work. The line, when tested, is every bit as strong as the un-spliced line. Back in the "golden age of sail" when every ship had hundreds of feet of rope all over the place and you couldn't just pull into a port for a fresh spool, you had to make do. I'd wager that a splice like shown in the video would stand up to a strength test, and would certainly be strong enough to get you through your voyage. What'd be the other option when you're months out to see and have months yet to go? It's not like you can just scrap the plan, and you can be sure the sailors of yore wouldn't be doing it if there wasn't value to it. It was their lives on the line after all.
@@threeriversforge1997 you perhaps have read too many books.
On a commercial fishing vessel you have to splice line quickly, lines break all the time, especially on a long line, there is no time for that sissy style. Plus we are on 150' boats in 40' seas in ice cold bering sea weather wearing liners and gloves. In emergencies we dont even splice line we just tie a sheet bend knot.
@@xChromerSatanasx Well, the Ashley Book of Knots is considered the Bible of Marlinspike Seamanship, and this kind of splice is shown in there, in historical context.
Furthermore, again, there seems to be a problem with understanding how the world at that time worked. What you have to do on a vessel today is not necessarily the same as what they had to do back then. Remember, those ships were at sea for months at a time, and there was plenty of time to sit around doing absolutely nothing but repairs on things. That's why you see so much stuff like Scrimshaw bone and ivory as well as the fancy knot work being produced while sailors were out at sea.
Yes, there were times when they had to hustle and couldn't do a proper splice if a rope snapped, but that doesn't mean the shown splice is any less valid or wasn't used. You're claiming that the splice isn't as strong as the parent rope, so prove it. Run some tests. See where a piece of line snaps. Test the tensile strength and then you'll know if the old sailors who spent their lives relying on those splices were just a bunch of hacks.... or maybe they knew a thing or two that you don't.
Ok
Same as splicing cable
as long as you are "long splicing" the cable, then it is the same.... jk.
Мне понравилось, хотя ничего не понял! 🇧🇾
I don't get it. I usually catch on pretty quickly.
ни ..уя не понятно, но интересно
you need a Swedish fid mate
Only I'd the line is super tight. On commercial fishing boats we seldom use them. Occasionally we must splice a line in a few minutes and no time for fancy stuff
that picture of that splice is incorrect, try again.

Will that was not hard at all...complicated and drawn out, but, not hard.. thanks the Video was great.
I thought you had to do more shaving of the rope and making the under over weaves thinner and thinner and make it vanish...
Is it possible to have the ends of the 3 sets of splicing meet up and make the rope look like it was never spliced? or is that my OCD wanting everything to be smooth and uniform?
Yes, as with all splices you can shave the strands by half as you weave to taper the splice. Some sources say to do it twice.
There are a couple of things that make the long splice difficult. Re-laying a strand into the rope can cause uneven tension between the three strands. Splicing or tucking one strand instead of three creates an asymmetry which can also create uneven tension and want to curve the rope. With a lot of practice the finish can look better and the splice will actually be stronger but it will always look spliced.
Thanks for the info. your Videos are great...
nice video man, real simple after watching video.
thanks! !
Are bhai achha to h lekin es bat ko koe hindi me bole jyada log samjhege
sorry......as an "instructor" you needed, to go back..... and, read the part about " the lay of the rope"......if you are to do anything do it well....and then teach.
Well, explain your statement!
