Splicing info for winch line
I am trying to put a new eyelet thimble on my winch line. Iam not sure how to do a Brummel lock. If any one knows let me know.

Go to Sampson ropes website and download some of their free PDFs on line splicing, they have all types.
I made splicing fids from hollow knitting needles I found at the thrift store. Just cut them down to 6" and de-burred the cut edge.
Gorilla tape hold the rope to fid end really well.
Found a small ceramic paring knife at harbor freight for $6 that cuts through the Amsteel rope strands like butter. For proper tapered splice you'll need to do a lot of cutting.
I bought a snapped synthetic winch line to practice with.
Good luck, it's kind of fun to do once you get the hang of it. Our dog has more spare leashes now than she'll even need.

I don't know much about it but a search on Youtube revealed a bunch of hits for the key words "brummel lock". Would one of those help?
Maybe one day I'll have a winch a need to know how too. lol
