how to splice?

[hazzygawa]

First one of many i hope, the eye is large as i want to tow it to destruction

 

Any constructive (or other) criticism welcome

 

great bit of splicing, i have never been shown how to splice properly, so i still struggle on 3 strand. splice dyslexia.

looks like a good job

old rope is harder to splice

although the change in diameter looks a bit sharp to me which reduces the strength considerably

looks like either no taper or not enough taper

but photo,s can be deceptive

when you marked the core to cut it off pull it out about a hand width then cut to mark and chamfer the hand width then milk it back in

if that makes sence
