Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Wire rope splicing instructor Brion Toss, of Brion Toss Yacht Riggers in Port Townsend, Washington, introduces a tutorial series on hand-splicing wire rope for standing rigging.0:18 Mechanical terminals have largely displaced splicing in modern rigging, but Toss outlines three situations where a hand splice remains the better choice: field repairs far from a swaging or Sta-Lok press, traditional vessels where a splice is the historically correct terminal, and industrial applications where mechanical terminals snag or fatigue at their hard edges.0:43 A splice is only worth making if it achieves maximum strength, which Toss says depends on correct geometry from the start — not brute force.1:21 Steel wire at multi-ton breaking strength cannot be muscled into place; the rigger must learn to coax and redirect each strand.1:37 The series will cover the specific techniques and tricks that make the weaving process manageable, with the goal of working in rhythm with the wire rather than fighting it.1:46
