Brummels
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.
