Wait until you try eye splicing a 40mm 7 strand wire (not forgetting the locking tuck), used to take two of us about a couple of hours.

My memories are of the air being blue and blood everywhere !!

Thankfully, not much call for it nowadays.

Not since they closed all the pits, we used it on the haulage roads, I was the rope mans gofor, the splice was about 30 feet long, and almost invisible when finished.
