Hi Joe, In the early days of braided line, I got the Samson Book on how to do the splices, as well as the proper sized fids for the various sizes of line I was using. It's been a long time ago, but after making the first one - a learning process - the rest became very easy, and I don't recall every having problems with the process. Just do the steps in order, .... and you wind up with a lovely splice in a braided line. Connie Joe Murphy wrote:
Does the video deal with braided line or three strand? I can do three strand without any problem. It's the double braided splices that gives me a hangover without the fun!!

The best book I have found is Working Rope Field Guides for Rigging Book 5 Basic Braided Splices by Brion Toss & Margie McDonald. Also take a look at Brion Toss's video or DVD on splicing.
