Finishing the locked Brummel

[seawolf]

Brion,
In the field book #5 under bonus splice figure #14 your instructions state start bury right below the brummel.
It was in the splicing video in the naked spectra eye splice that you mentioned run the wand up to the brummel, a couple of inches is fine.
The practice is helping but,
My main difficulties is getting the line through the inverted hockles. I seem to distort the line quite a bit to get this through.
In the video it seems the line practically slides right up and through with hardly a bother. Maybe the spectra is a little looser weave than the Amsteel Blue?
Thanks again everyone for the help. Its getting fun.
Fair winds.
Bob
