AKA: HOW TO Connect a Clothesline to itself.
About two years ago I made a short off-the-cuff video about fixing/replacing the clothesline elevator in our backyard. Ever since, I regularly get people complaining that I did not show how the winch/ratchet thing is used to join together the two ends of the clothes line.
Okay, maybe there were not exactly clamoring hordes of fans, but after two comments, two days in a row, I decided to make ANOTHER quick off-the-cuff video showing the winch in detail.
(and the fact that I had not posted a video in a while had nothing to do with it. Nope.)
I guess it just seemed obvious to me, but clearly it is not obvious to everyone.

🙏🙏Thank-you! 🙏🙏
thank you! i searched everywhere and this is the *only* explanation on how to use the mini winch that comes in the Strata clothesline kit. Much appreciated.
OMG ... Thank you for sharing this. I was at a complete loss as to how to replace my busted cable inherited in the old house I bought.
Thank you! This exactly what I was looking for. I usually take a picture of these sorts of pieces before dismantling so I know what goes where. Very well explained.
Very Nice Explanation. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so very much for taking the time to make video and help ... it's videos like this and yes the little things that help keep people independent
Absolutely love TH-cam for these kind of videos 😎👌 thanks again
Art, our clothsline ends parted this afternoon, under a load of beach / swimming stuff, after another of my metal-staple munge connections gave way, so I was finally motivated to figure out how to use a clothesline metal winch connector properly. I was faaaairly sure of the right way to do it, but before tackling it on a hot afternoon (even hotter than the day you recorded this!), I wanted to be certain. As others have noted, it's surprisingly hard to find instructions / videos for this, but this was just the ticket, thank you!
these type of comments are a delight, thank-you!
Lol….this is the exact wuestion we had after watching your first video! Thanks so much for your help. We installed our first clothesline elevator today. Yoohoo!
Thank you!
Thank you I was thinking that I really needed a more detailed video on this thank you!
Thank you!! You saved me some money and probably some anguish 😁
Thank you! I have one of these and hadn't got a clue how to use it lol
Such a useful video, thanks. My line is so cracked and rusty I'm afraid it's going to break at the rusty exposed cable soon. I believe if I get a replacement line and remove the old crank, duct tape (maybe wind fine copper wire around it) the ends together (it can be slack) then tape one end of the new line to the temporary join. I'll be able to pull the new line through the far pulley. Then crank the new ends together, and cut off the old one. The far end is way up a tree and I'm not putting a ladder up there! Think that'll work? I bet that line of yours is ready to be replaced... 🤪
I think it should work... don't stint on the tape... tricky as it needs to be thin to make it's way around the pulley! Mine is getting old but I can reach the other pulley pretty easily so I can just wait until it collapses. 😁
@@artmulderwastaken Yeah, that's why I think it's worth wrapping the ends together with wire.
This was very helpful thank you for sharing.
This is similar to a crank for doing field fencing or barbed wire fencing.
Hey Art, well it looks like Covid has reduced us to "clothes line cranks". Well, at least it's a video and you got outside. Hang in there! !! !!!
Summer vacation, and a few projects that I did not want to film have left me scraping the bottom of the barrel! 😆
(seriously though, two complaints within two days on the old video, and I'm like... "okay, I've got a half hour, let's film this".)
@@Wordsnwood Any video is welcome, keep'em coming.
Amazing. The wonders modern engineering !
Never seen one of those before
I just checked amazon.com.au and it's on there... 👍
You have so.e talkative Cardinals in your neighborhood!
Lots of Cardinals visit our feeder, also lots of goldfinches and sparrows. Also some rose breasted grosbeaks and even red bellied woodpeckers
Is that a circle square ranch t-shirt?
:)
Maybe I can pass it off as a "Kreg Screw" shirt.... 🤔
Thank you so much
I was right 👍
thank you
What about how to add the rope into the elevator shaft no how?
How do I loosen it? I need to move my line!
Crank it tighter just enough to release the catch
I guess to get it really tight so that it will hold heavier laundry aloft you might have to use pliers on that tightening device.
nope. you tighten it when it's empty, and once it's latched in it can't turn backwards. We load up the line with laundry and it's fine.
I don't know Art, seems like that connection should be on the top line rather than the lower line. Wait, I guess it doesn't make any difference. Okay , ignore this post.
How about if we need to untie it to install a new cord line? How do we that? Cheers
there is a spring on the catch. you can wind it backwards by releasing it
No one has ever seen those before? Really? Go to the hardware store and ask the clerk they will show ya. Can't believe you had to do an actual video about that. Give me a break.
I feel ashamed, it is true...
@@Wordsnwood You shouldnt they should have a brain to use. Its not your fault.
If people need a video to use this simple device, How did they manage to find their way home after the shopping trip. lol
Thats my thought? No one has been to a hardware store? You don't deserve to own tools if you can't figure that out.
Then why are you Watching it? ;)
