Made a new cowboy rope maker, handy thing for making small ropes.

How's it work, Lenn?

If you gave me one of those, and a bunch of twine, I still wouldn't have any rope.....

Looks like something that requires the additions of some brains and labor to make it work.

.....so.....how DOES it work....?????

Was afraid someone was going to ask that

Ok after ya watch the vid if ya have any questions ask away.
Ya want to start with about 4 times the length of rope ya want to end up with.

Your welcome Bill, here`s the video of where the idea came from.

Pitch, sorry about your bad night, bro.
Thanks for the link to that old silent film. I had seen it somewhere some time back and forgot all about it.
There's just something inspiring about men who knew how to make really good, useful gear -- and knew how to use it well.
Kind of lets me out ...

I don't have a lot of uses for 4' ropes, so I'll probably keep buying mine in 100' lengths.

Vall, I think that was just an "inside the kitchen" demo, hence the short length to illustrate the principle.
Have you ever been to the Maritime Museum in Astoria? They used to have a really serious rope-making machine there.

We made a 50 foot hay mow rope that`s 1-1/4 in diameter.

Now we're talking, Lenn!

We`re setting up the big rope maker we made and will be making a rope soon but rain in the forcast for a week, heck snowed today.

Need to send you some of my "sunny skies, 80s" weather Lenn.
