Off the Grid Makes 72 - How to Wood turn Wooden Pulleys

I needed some pulleys for another project. I made these very quickly using some offcuts of spotted gum which is a very hard timber. I added a bit of rope for decorative purposes. I used two different turning tools to compare the difference in the end product. In the end there wasn't much difference!

Very nice work Sir. I hope you are still getting valuable use out of them, but they look good enough to just decorate a Man Cave!

Brilliant!

Thanks Geoff

Nice! Was the cord wrap on the first one mostly decorative?

[@OfftheGridMakes]

Yes it was!

[@ThriftLife]

can you show the knots your were making with the small rope around the larger rope

[@OfftheGridMakes]

It's a common whipping. If you search, you'll find how to do it :-)
