The how to make rope from sisal. Just need to make a rope twisting machine then the shuttle and 1 rope wrench, A box of sisal and a little know how. Redneck skills are a plus.
As a fellow father and uncle, watching you with the boys there made me brim with pride for you. I wouldn’t call myself a prepper or even a country boy really but I’m trying to learn useful skills like this, for various different reasons. As well as a fine educational video it was a heartwarming thing, to watch a good male role model in action. Sadly it’s a rare thing where I’m from. The camera work wasn’t too shabby, either. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Parabéns, belíssimo trabalho usando essa técnica milenar que nos dias de hoje poucos conhecem . Continuem mostrando coisas interessantes como esta por favor. Muito obrigado.
This is a Boy scout Teaching project I made. Take what you have and spend nothing for parts. It works to make rope. That is what counts. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
If you show the way the machine works and the way the cables are turning will be awesome. I may never make one , but some peoples will appreciate if you show it..
@@cesarorellana8040 I have a few videos of how it all work. The machine is well used. My brother and I made a monkey bridge and take it to scouting events where the Boy scouts can walk across it. Check out some of the other videos.
Short answer Yes Triangle. Long answer: I made holes larger then needed so I could do all sizes of rope. You can make a small rope, like for a close line with string, twine will make a 3/8s" rope. But if you double or even triple your twine back and forth. You can make a 1" rope with one winding set. I needed the larger holes when the large rope was made. Yes an even distance appear and not to close to each other with the holes is best. The fiber on the twine want to catch each other.
My younger brother was looking on line one day for a rope machine. He said they were $350. to $1500. I said I could make one with only the scraps I have at the farm. We have made several 1000' so far. Most of it went to make a monkey bridge we use for scouting.
Great Video! I have watched many other rope making videos and picked up a new tip from you. Do you have a video on the construction of the machine? That I would love very much to see. Thanks, Steven
I also do all of my tie off at the hooks of the rope machine.By doing it that way on the bitter end I get a finished end that doesn't need to be whipped.
Hi Bob, I am in Art Therapy program and I am doing project for my wind chime and I want to use similar as your method to make rope although I struggle to find tension paddle you titled on video that you use? Did u make it yourself or buy it from somewhere else?
90% of everything I use in my Projects are re-purposed from old stuff. Like the rope machine. Wheel, gears, bearings and the shafts, were from an old lawnmower. I did make the paddle out of plywood scraps from another project. I drilled the hole center 2" in and divided into three. then cut from the outside to the hole for an easy to make paddle. Good luck with your project.
I wouldn't mess with that rope with a stick.After the ends are whipped and the rope is cut loose that is a time for a tug-a-war.As you were coiling it I could see that rope still needed some tugging.For ropes 3/4 to 1" I tie them off to a tree and tug with my truck.
+Rustaholic777 Well the rope is being made for a monkey bridge. After you make one rope you need many more just like it. It helps that it be knot free when tying your poles. So a good stretch will make a tight knot. Its not much good as a toe rope. But I have made a 8 strain rope that did pull a Dodge out of the mud.
+Bob Anderson The last rope I made was 140 feet long and 3/4" diameter.I use it to pull down trees that don't want to fall where I need them to.It was 24 strands of old baling twine. I used the whole thing. I took the total length as stated on the old burlap wrapper, divided it by 24 then paced off that many feet and strung it up. I must be pretty good at pacing off measurements because I had about 12 feet of twine left over. I was only off six inches in my pacing that far.That old twine wrapper also said the twine was treated against rot and mildew.
I came for the rope making instruction and stayed for the life lesson. Thankyou for both

You really should get a New Era Rope Machine. The gearing makes rope a lot faster

Great job, and thanks for using “young labor.” Brings back great memories.
Thanks for stopping by. This was a fun project.
great video. Do the holes need or should be in an equilateral triangle? thanks
Short answer Yes Triangle.

Great demonstration, wonderful young men!
Thank you so much. It is all about the memories the kids can take away. Kevin talks about making rope, Then he says, "Well its on TH-cam."
very nice video. always wondered how rope was made. thanks for sharing.

Yes my 6th video was the rope machine. Here it is.th-cam.com/video/4VCzuj1EQ0A/w-d-xo.html
it's amazing knot trick when you tied the end of the rope, regards to kevin...
Kevin is a special young man. Thanks.
I also do all of my tie off at the hooks of the rope machine.By doing it that way on the bitter end I get a finished end that doesn't need to be whipped.
Nice looking rope.
A day of,"do I really have to do this today"?
A few years later,"I'm glad I learned this skill"!
Happy You enjoy Life.
Can you make a fast rope with some paracord? 🤔
Yes that is possible to do. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

You only have to whip one end if you start stringing from the end with three hooks as one string.
I will try that Thanks.
Thanks for sharing.
you really need to make rope making swivel. There is a video about making one. It is called Rope Making Swivel Easy and Inexpensive.
how did you make your rope making equipment?
Look a few videos before this.
Дед молодец, учит внуков. Вот только Кевину, похоже не совсем хорошо - перегрелся на солнышке?
Well done grandfather, teaches grandchildren. That's just Kevin, it seems not very good - overheated in the sun?
That is what you said.
Interesting.
It was fun. And that junk pile of mower parts I have out back, helped.
I have a sisal rope and also sisal rug do you know how to color the sisal, I wanna give them black or grey colour do you how to do ?
I do add a red yarn strain in my rope, but never thought about colors. the yarn method is the only thing I have seen.
Leather dye works well. Cloth dye also works.
very cool!
Nice !
That could be true. Ropes on ships were the tool of the sailer.
where can I buy sisal??
And you thought it was something other then a knife? I learned that myself when I started work 38 years ago.

but i see your son and the other
I get mine at the Farm store. Do you live in a farming community?.
I told Home Depot I would NEVER buy any more rope from them. The clerk asked why? I said I made a Rope Machine Haa Haa.
Why didn't you burn off the loose threads?
I do. Watch my 100' rope video.

you sound like an old Boatswainsmate using some of the terms we did in the navy.
It pays to know things.
I found the video for the turning wheels ..

Why are you humiliating "that boy"? ... saying you got to keep an eye on him?
You must not understand something. Kevin needs watched. To get attention he does the opposite of what he should be doing. He is picking on us.
I would rather you have just filmed the boys :--------]

What a good Idea.
