Sean Rhone says:
Is there a video of doing one of these splices? How do you bury 2 feet of a line when splicing?
Steve Stone says:
Not yet, Sean, but someday. It’s on our list, but Brion Toss’s book the Rigger’s Appretice is the “bible” on these topics. And unlike most of what we feature on OCH, there are probably some videos on YouTube That might show you this process.
Brion Toss says:
Hi,
There is a wide variety of tools for making long buries in braided rope; our Splicing Wand is one. But I think what matters more than the tool is the knowledge of the operator, which is why I’ve spent some time and effort working up clear instructions.
