An eye splice makes an ‘eye’ in the end of a rope, not a ‘fixed loop’. Loop has a specific meaning in marlinespike seamanship: overhand loop, underhand loop, artillery harness loop, etc. A loop on the end of a line, is made with a knot; an eye is made with a splice.. Grommets are grommets and straps are straps (pronounced ‘strops’) , not ‘fixed loops’.

One the tucks – I have seen in different books the number of tucks at Three, Four or Five – the difference seems to be: Three tucks for natural fiber, Four tucks for Spun synthetic line (i.e. Dacron & Nylon) and Five for Continuous filament line. I do five all the time (almost all my splicing is now done in continuous filament Nylon line) and when I am teaching splicing I go over the differences that people will find in the count. Sorry for the nitpicking

Since you are teaching knot tying skills you might find my instructions on how to tie a Bowline if you are left handed, there is also a link on the article for a printer friendly PDF version you can print and take with you or give to the left handed scouts.

Keep up the good work
