Short Splice

A method for permanently joining
two ropes of equal thickness.
Produces a thicker rope.
May be tapered (see pp.364–69) if desired.
Use a fid or Swedish fid (see p.19) to make
it easier to separate the strands.
Make three cycles of tucks each way for
natural rope and five for synthetic.
