I can see that the tutorial was made a few years ago but I'm so glad I discovered it. Thanks so much for your time and skill in producing such a very thorough production so that a novice like myself finished up with a useful splice. Again thanks from a COVID free Australian. Hopefully, your family is fit and well in these trying times.
This is by far the best double braid splicing vid I've ever seen, including those done by "the pros" (not saying you're not a pro!). Thanks! I've been splicing Spectra on parachutes for 35+ years, and sailing for longer than that, so I think it's high time I finally buckle down and learn this.
Tim, sorry I totally missed your comment, we were in the bahamas with limited internet. Glad you liked it and found it helpful. I have had to do this multiple times now and still use this as a reference.
@@thecaptainandgigi1219 Hey Cap'n, no worries at all, I just now saw your reply! Believe it or not, I just now got around to ordering a fid kit. I need new docklines, and the guy that used to do my splicing retired, so I'm *finally* gonna learn this once and for all! Figured I'd give this another watch (or three) while I wait for the fids ... ;~P
@The Captain and GiGi Got the fids yesterday, and my first attempt actually didn't come out too bad! 1/4" line with a small loop around the bail of a random snap I had lying around. Beginner's luck? I hope not! ;~P
@@thecaptainandgigi1219 after my 5rh try I was able to do it without following your video. So far I've done 8 splices, 5 were practice runs and 3 on my halyards, came out GREAT. THNX again for a great video instructions.
