Build a Vintage Block & Tackle Pulley

- In this video I build a vintage block & tackle pulley from scratch. Although it is a decorative piece it is still very functional. I don't know that I'd use it to raise a sail but it would certainly hold a light fixture or other home decor item.

I like the way you did the vid.
No talking or wasted verbals just plain and easy demos.
Your work shop an d equipment are nice and clean.
You are an excellent craftsman.
As a real gobstopper I tend to agree that an acid test at the end just to make our jaws drop.
Thanks mate. AWESOME.
Thank you Peter!
Its amazing that you can build a $100 block and tackle with only $8000 worth of machines.
I've been using a cast-iron block and tackle system for 15 years on my balcony to haul heavy loads such as sand and bricks. It's regularly used to save scratching the stairwell walls from awkward objects of furniture. They are old century design but extremely functional, and many jobs can be done by a single person. Saves my knee joints too☺
Work of art! I appreciate your level of perfection...so many you tube-video-guys show "me" how to make a piece of garbage. True, having the right tools and so many, helps, but you obviously have great skill beyond the tools. Hope I can acquire all the tools someday!
I am a 71 year old shipwright & used block & tackle quite a lot. Fascinating seeing the fine craftsman ship used to make them. love this video well done sir cheers OXOX
+Thomascow Mc Mullan Thanks Thomas. Your comments mean a lot to me. Thank you for the encouragement!
I'm about to use a block and tackle pulley system to lift a basket seat about 15' into the air in one of our barns. Wish I had the time and resources to make my own vintage block! This is awesome. Well put together and you know it won't fail.
Super way to make pulleys. Thanks. Very nice project.
makes me wanna go build my own workshop! imagine all the stuff you could make
this looks fantastic. I have recently started to upload videos of me making a block. now I feel that I need to up my game.
Unbelievable! Great craftsmanship--Kudos to you. You make woodworking look easy!
What does he have to do, to make you believe, it looked pretty clear to me. Every guy should have a basic woodshop when he needs one. Clean, organized, well lighted, nice and airy, vac system, refrigerator, coffee maker, micro wave, Mini Split Hot & Cold. Bathroom with shower. Storage for materials, Forklift, XYZ platform system at least 60"x 60" with 8" depth capacity, Video editing studio, Secure locker for Camera light sound equpt. How else could we make a unbelievable Pulley block as good as this. Can we all agree.
Your videos are great! No time wasted. Straight to the point, not mindless rambling by like other channels. Thumbs up!!!!
This is great. You have a GOD given talent. I also like how organized your shop is. You must have served in the military. That is something that we were taught in the Army and has always stayed with me. Everything has it's place and clean as you go.
That is NOT a pulley it is ART now. WOW ... looks fantastic.Thanks for not playing that annoying music through the video.👍
Great video! When I was kid I kept my saddle hanging from a block and tackle from the barn. I was small for my age and couldn't lift the saddle onto my horse, so I had to walk the horse under the saddle and lower it onto my horse with a block and tackle. When I got done riding, I'd undo the girth and hoist it back up. For the memories!
An amazing craftsman and a terrific instructor. Thanks
Another great video. I love your stuff and this project is no exception. Elegant, simple, and so useful.
very nice job mate, thanks for sharing.. loved it, and the decent job..
Yikes, what a beautiful shop! I could make almost anything in there. Great work. I watched this video because I sell antiques online, and have an unusual pulley with brass wheels. The problem is the strap is spread inside from over strain. After watching this, I might have to "slice and shim"... This was a pleasure to watch.
I grew up on a dairy farm and your video brought back great memories. Thanks for the build and video. You are a true craftsman!
Chris Yaowsee Thanks Chris. I really appreciate the kind words.
This is the first Feddie video I ever watched!!! Block and tackle pulleyed me in and I was hooked!!!
And that ladies and gentlemen is how it's done. Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing
1kenkelly Great compliment. I really appreciate it!
GREAT JOB !!! You also have a great shop to work in. Well done.
Thanks for sharing. Wonderful work!
Beautiful work, my friend. Expertly fitted. You are an artist.
So cool....awesome tools and shop too...
Thanks!
So, I make TH-cam videos. Well your video making skills far outpace mine not to mention the skills around a shop. Thank you!
great stuff it would have been good to see you lifting something with it as well in this video but still very attractive pulley very fine woodworking skills all in all just awesome
Very well done build and video! I've always liked their simplicity and functionality! Yours is a beauty to behold. I know it's a decorative item but think it would work well for the right weight. The router cutting the groove on the wheels was great and something I will use. Thanks for sharing.
MRrwmac Thank you for watching and sending great comments my way. MR. I really appreciate it!
Liked the video, it's a long time since I've seen someone Make a block. I once rigged some tall ship (a brigantine and a fully rigged ship) we made blocks much like this, we didn't finish with varnish, we dropped them in a barrel of linseed and tallow for a couple of days. We tried turning wooden sheaves but found that they either swelled or broke unless they were made of lignum vitae or red gum. In the end our sheaves ( the pulley wheels)were made either of iron ( reused from old blocks) or Tufnell, we always used a steel axel sometimes stainless. To hold the axel in place we had one end riveted ( or used a long coach bolt). The other end was held in place with a metal plate, the uk had just gone decimal so we usually used an old penny for this plate. Keep making the videos.
This is one of the COOLEST Videos I have ever seen!!.. The way you presented it is AWESOME. THANK YOU!!...
Rad! Great job.... Super clean and looks seamless ;)
Very good job, looks great and serviceable.
thumbs up hell how about a both ! WOW what amazing work ! NO THANK YOU ! for an amazing video !
That was flippin' cool! Love nautical projects!
BoatworksToday Thanks Brother. Glad you enjoyed it. I had you in mind as I was working on it.
Great video. Awesome step by step detail! I subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.
DURGANBUILT Thanks!
Nice Job, I love the old wooden equipment, It got the Job done very nicely,
I don't care if the grain goes up, down, left, right or sideways. It looks awesome and is a mighty fine piece of work. Congrats
I love this pulley and it think its well made , great jog on this one as usual you make great project cheers
Excellent!! I love projects like this. Beautiful crafstmanship
Making it Matters Thank you for checking it out. I appreciate the compliments.
Not only are you a great craftsman, but you're a super awesome teacher! There's quite a few people out there that are good at what they do, but few that are good at teaching it. I'll proceed with checking out the rest of your videos. Thank you very much for sharing!
Gunner Thanks for the kind words, Gunner. I appreciate you watching!
You're quite welcome. I look forward to your future videos!
Awesome video sir! Awesome attention to detail. After 11 minutes and 9 seconds of cool craftsmanship though, all I could think of was a multitude of ways to secure that drill press solidly. Just my 2 cents, not a troll, and MakingIt is a gold mine. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Thank you that was totally awesome, easy to follow, and the best DIY video I have seen yet!!!!!
+Darcia Mather Thank you for the kind words, Darcia!
Very clever, looks great and I bet it works.
Excellent work. What a great shop? Especially liked the up and down tool . . . great job. Thank you
oscillating spindle sander
For some object that appears so simple that is a hell of a lot of work. Very interesting to see, thanks for sharing.

***** Thank you for the great encouragement, Cary. I really appreciate it.
Nice work. looks awesome!
Very nice and very precise...
love the way you used the router to create the pulley wheel. Solved a problem for me. Thanks!
Sam Schroeder Thanks Sam. Glad it gave you some ideas!
Nice job. Now you need a second one to make the complete block and tackle hoist.
That's a lot of work. Very nice. I have a three pulley block and tackle I got from my father that I still use occasionally on the job (construction). You will need to build a second one to be able to use it though. One issue I see other than the wooden dowel instead of steel, is the two steel strips used to hang it had a gap between them so all the weight is on the inner steel strip. Next time clamp the two together before drilling the through hole. But very nice work
Your damn good at woodworking and fabricating.
nice video, I think it turned out great I would have really liked to see you use it. I am looking to make a Block to life my bike up in the rafters of my garage.
Turned out really good, thanks for sharing.
Juan Guerrero Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
excellent as always ...........
Totally well presented easy to follow steps without the "blah blah" and no language problems, more please.

Dennis McCamley Thanks Dennis. I really appreciate you watching!
Great job on the pulley.
Saw Dust Maker Thanks!
Really enjoyed this- beautiful work and nice technique. My father had a set like this around our house for many years, I don't know what ever happened to them. He "borrowed" them from work to straightened out my sister's tricycle frame after backing over it with this car- an old family legend- my sister was about 4 and cussed him out in some kind of baby talk. One note of safety- at about 3:21 in the video, you should really use a vise or solid hold down when drilling metal- this gave me shivers of what could happen if the bit caught...
I always thought that Pulleys came from heaven...
Good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this video, great job.
Great design , thanks for sharing .
Edson Júlio Silva Nobre Nobre Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
Nice work. The router cove on that wheel was a nice touch.

Great job!
Wow - That was 'The' Best Video / demonstration I've ever seen. Your skills (all-around), & your 'Executive' planning skillsets with execution, Including visual layout are like a Surgeon. With 'That' kind of talent, you should have More Professions.I don't know who you are my friend, but there are more 'keys' in your tool-box that can open 'doors' in many other walks of Life
+Rrr Zz Thanks for watching!
Congratulations of your cameo on the Drunken Woodworker weekly wrap up! Well deserved, partner!
Robert Sheffey Outstanding. Thanks for letting my know Brother. I would not have known unless you would have said something. Funny though, I knew something was up yesterday because my subscriptions went crazy for a few hours. Then I saw your comment and it all made sense.
Very nice and good choice of podcast.
norm1124 Thanks Norm. I like listening to that too.
Wow, that's really nice.
Nicely done. Thanks for the video!
KSFWG Your welcome. I really appreciate you watching!
I appreciate your videos. They are clear, concise, and informative. Keep up the good work, man!
Thank you for the encouragement!
please let us know when you figure out how to use it!🤔 I like the video. nice job engineering.
Very nice!! No blather, just information. I am strongly sound oriented (singer) so I LOVE the visual presentation with no superfluous, distracting yakking.
And...regardless of what Doctor Michael Andrews writes below...I think your voice sounds fine.
Thank you for watching, Liberal. I really appreciate the encouragement!
You're welcome...but ...don't call me a Liberal!! ;-)
Add a steel shaft and brass bushings to your pulleys and this block will hold a surprisingly heavy load. Brunel pulleys were made this way in the 19th century Portsmouth, but from a single wooden block (which was drilled then mortized for the pulley's slot). This was among the earliest series productions to ever take place (around 160000 pulleys/year at the time).
What a lovely block -stunning work. You probably could use such blocks for sailing if you do the axle & the wheels / rolls in either galvanised, stainless steel or bronze.
Have you tested the load-bearing capacity of your all-timber blocks, how much can they carry ?
Again, great workmanship - well done !
Absolutely the best DYI video I have watched. I retired about 2 weeks ago. A project/dream to do in my retirement was to build a block and tackle set. Up until I saw your video it was just an dream, without a plan. But not any more I found your video ---- it is a dream that has come true.
Many thanks for this video and you other videos I have watched. However the one thing holding me back The one thing holding me back now is the name of the tool you used to bend the steel please!
William P McAleer Thanks for watching, William. I really appreciate it! I bent the metal using a cheap bender I bought at Harbor Freight. Send me an email and I will give you the CAD templates for the cutouts. blazingnailgun@gmail.com
You are the master of all !!! Enjoy your video's and would like to have the ability to build like yourself !!! I'm sure you can do more with a rusty can opener than I could do with a shop full of tools. Jeff
beautiful work, what is the max load capacity of this jewel?
Alright Feddie. That was bad ass bro! Great job.
Jeffrey Fluharty Thanks for checking in, Jeffrey. I appreciate you watching and sending me some encouragement!
Love it! I know what block and tackle is but you should rig it up and demonstrate it for folks.
KF7AIK Thanks for the kind words and for the view!
Very good job 👏👏👏👏
