Hello all. I have made a few attempts at different times to make different line splices with three strand line with limited success. Today I was attempting to put a fender board together using Grogs Animated Knots as a reference and failed miserably. I pulled Chapmans out, made some progress but still have far to go. I burned all three ends, marked each strand differently and held the "eye" in me left hand and worked away from me. Always threading the strand from right to left. I seem to have gotten it close to right, but I am sure on board there are some who have mastered this. Any suggestions on resources, or possible advice starting with "Don"t forget to....." To me this skill should fall under seamanship 101 and I'm not getting a passing grade.
I look forward to all replies.
