  Traditional Rope Company | Finishing the rope ends
I use a Common whipping which is fine in most cases but if you are looking for something that will be a bit more robust then I can apply a more complex and secure whipping.
Whilst there are probably hundreds of different splices the most common type used on a natural fibre rope is the eye-splice which creates a neat, secure, permanent eye in the end.
We really would need to chat about exactly what you are trying to do before you order a spliced rope as we need to allow for things like the size of the eye.

  Whipped rope - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Whipping is the tying of several turns of twine around the end of a rope to prevent it from unravelling.
The twine is first laid along the rope end in the form of an elongated double S that lies along the valley between one strand and the next.
Dacron and other man-made fibre ropes require binding two or three turns of plastic tape tightly around the point where the end is to be cut.

If rope is found to be fraying you can melt some wax onto the end or in the case of nylon rope just melt the end so it fuses together.

 Whipped rope   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Slice through the rope in the center of the tape with an electrically heated knife, or cut with a normal knife and melt the ends in a flame so that all the fibers are fused together.
However, melting the fibers is a relatively poor method of finishing a rope's end and the end of any rope, subject to heavy use, should be whipped as well.
Such rope must be finished with an appropriate whipping - ideally one completed with a needle such as a Sailmaker's Whipping although a West Country whipping also serves well.

 Miscellaneous
Uses: Whipping is a series of knots intended to stop a rope from unraveling.
The benefit of a common whipping is that no tools are necessary and the rope does not need to be unlayed.
Other whippings avoid this by interleaving the whipping with the strands of the rope and creating friction with the strands to avoid slipping.

 Rope to Chain
Rope splicing is a very strong method of fixing a loop eye or joining two ends together; as the rope is pulled tighter, the spliced strands become more and more squeezed and locked into place.
Checkout the rope to chain splice test provided US Sailing for more information on the strength and viability of this splice.
This method of joining rope and chain is designed to minimize chafe between rope and chain, but as a matter of prudent seamanship, it should be checked regularly and remade if there is any evidence of wear.

 The Sailmaker's Whipping
The whipping turns are contained by the frapping turns which both grip the rope and prevent the whipping from unwinding if damaged.
Braided Rope: It is relatively easy to decide where to thread the twine in three stranded rope - the gap between each of the three strands provides a natural target and the three strands dictate that one pair of frapping turns will lie in each groove.
In braided rope the principle is the same, the frapping turns should be distributed evenly round the rope.

Imagine further that you can change the direction of the "whipped shape," quickly and randomly at your end, so that a person looking back along the rope toward you, sees the "vibration" occurring in all directions—up and down, left to right, northeast to southwest, and so on, as shown in Figure 4-24b.

 Halfbakery: Roller Rope
This roller is whipped backward and over your head, to then enter under the front of the platform.
If the rope releases immediately upon the roller returning to the rack then you only generate force for a very brief time and then can't generate any force by pulling the ropes backward until they connect to the backmost roller.
The rope probably needs a delay at the front before releasing the first cylinder, thus giving some distance to exert force and making this almost a little practical.
