What type Brummel?

[Bob Pingel]

I have always used just one locked brummel and a bury. But I form the brummel using the McDonald method.

I have not measured, but the brummel should be no larger than the entry of the bury, both are formed from two whole diameters.

Multiple brummels, McDonald or not, I think are typically used with a bury. The big plus here is that you can form an eye with few to no tools.

Bob,
Thanks for all the information. You have been very helpful.
Single McDonald Brummel and bury sounds like a winner.
All the best.
Bob
