Default Book 5

There is more than one way, but the best technique involves starting with a locking Brummel. This has widely been held to be topologically impossible, but you can find the technique, and much else, in our Book 5 splicing guide.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

I'll just chime in and agree with the other posts.

I went on the forum, asked the same question, bought the book, and made a handful of lovely (IMHO) grommets.
