A diagram of how I did it on top, the middle just switches what gets passed through itself first to start the locked brummel.  The bottom is the typical Class I double braid splice.  The version I did is basically a Class II, extract the core just after the throat, skip a couple of strands and pass it through the cover tail.  The cover tail then passes through the core tail, which gets buried in the cover tail. The now combined tails are buried in the core and the cover is milked over it.

The second eye of a covered eye Class II can be done can be done by passing the tail through itself, unbraiding it, passing it around, rebraiding, and then burying.  Or much easier is to do a Samson’s Tuck Bury splice that doesn’t require access to the other end.  From left to right, Tuck Bury, locked brummel, covered eye Tuck Bury with cover whipped to the side.
