Finishing the locked Brummel
Hello all,
I hope you are not getting tired of my questions regarding the Brummel, but I want to make sure I have it right.
I have completed a locked brummel eye around a solid thimble. Using the naked spectra eye splice on Brion's DVD. When burying the tail, Brion mentions to start the bury a couple of inches from the brummel knot. I actually started my bury an inch or so from the knot.
This was done on 1/4" amsteel blue
Question:
After my bury, the small space from the knot and where the tail entered the standing part is comprised of the full diameter of the standing part and a full diameter of the tail from the knot, allowing for a small eye to be opened up if not whipped or served.
Since the bury is coming from a knot and not just burying into itself, I guess this can not be helped.
I just want to make sure it was done right.
I will be serving or whipping the section below the thimble down past where the tail goes into the standing part.
I would like to send a couple of photos for review, if someone would be kind enough to explain how to do this on this site.
All help appreciated. Thanks.
Bob
