If they give me permission I will scan and post the pages. They had sent my request to their lawyer also.
I received a reply and they said that Brion was deep in a rigging job in Florida and would not be able to reply for some time. I have emailed Brion Toss for permission to scan the pages from his book and post here. I can then pull only what is needed off the spool. This method allows me to make a locked brummel with bury eye splice quickly and easily using just one end of the rope. It does involve inserting the rope through itself and pulling through as described by New England Ropes, but then you do not have to undo it and pull the rope back out from itself. It is much easier and faster than the method that New England Ropes describes. What I find exciting about the McDonald Brummel isn't the locked brummel itself, but their method of making the locked brummel. The McDonald Brummel splice is actually a chain of locked brummels, one right after another. The McDonald Brummel splice is a method for making a locked brummel using a single end of the rope. In going through TeeDee's copy of Brion Toss's book on working rope, book 5, Basic Braided Splices, I found his "McDonald Brummel" splice. I usually end up totally destroying the strands at the pull through in trying to undo the pull through. Maybe on large diameter rope it works, but for the small diameter rope that we use for hammocking, 1/8" and less, I have found it impossible to undo the pull through as in step #8 in the linked page. New England Ropes has a method for making a locked brummel splice using only one end of the rope. This option really hurts at the price per foot for good dyneema rope.įollowing the directions that Samson Ropes has, it is necessary that both ends of the rope be available to make the splice. use more rope than really needed and discard the excess.use a plain bury splice with stitching, or.Previously I have been forced to do either: I want to make the eye splice with the locked brummel and bury, pull it tight and then pull the rope off the spool and determine the total length needed against the actual site use. Usually this is necessary when I want the eye splice but do not know the exact total length of rope needed.
Many times I need to make a locked brummel eye splice with bury using only a single end of the rope.
