If you split the dowel about 3/4" you can put in a wedge and drive it in. The wedge will spread the dowel inside the hole as it goes in and you don't need the screw. If you put some oil in the hole it will also swell the dowel and hole and last a long time. Great vid! Not trying to tell you how to do it but I seen that done in another vid and tried it. It works great.
Thank you. That is wonderful to see. I never knew about this method. This is a much more approachable method than many of the others out there. Thanks again!
Good comment! Indeed, rope making facilities were made very long. The Chatham ropewalk for example was one of the longest buildings built for a long time. They made 1000 foot rope! Mark
I am impressed by the sharpness of that knife and the expertise of the tool user! Fascinating! Do you have knowledge of when and where this tool and technique were used? It seems such a simple tool yet it produces one of the most universally needed and used items, cord or rope. Possibly one of humanity’s first great inventions!
Interesting, and thanks. This is an interesting method. According to some authorities some of our collective ancestors while moving into what is now Europe about70,000 years ago had string and rope-making capabilities. String making might eventually lead to fabric making. I've seen photos of small female ceramic clay figures wearing primitive bras. Soft fabric underwear leading to other items, socks perhaps? A progression of luxury items then?
Hmm as an avid needle art addict, I've been doing this same thing with yarn without any tools, just two anchor points and a twist. Its virtually identical to what you are doing on a smaller scale. There's also a way of twisting where you keep doing a triple twist and you virtually just keep going until your strand runs out.
I use a similar method but on a much longer base when I’m teaching this to the scouts. Also, with a longer base, I’m able to fold the twine two or three times to make much heavier ropes. Sometimes I’ll even twist three or four ropes into a cable.
I love the simplicity. I couldn't help but note how the square end of the handle is really close to the notches. It would be a good idea, I think, to make the hole a little further away from the notches so you have more room
I've made neck cords for jewelry using similar techniques. Use upholstery thread, an anchor point, and a hook point at the end of an electric drill. When you have your strands of line all twisted, hang a heavy weight in the middle of the twisted line, and then bring both ends of the line together and the weight in the middle will drop and the two lines will twist together on their own.
Thank you for the video. I’d like more information on the three and four strand options and the two attachment points. When you using to attachment points do you just attach them and then use the club to spin and then once the Rope is tied combined the strands and remove the second attachment point and then spin counterclockwise?
Neat video. I have a couple of questions: 1. Would this tool be "one size fits all", for different widths of twine? 2. What is your advice on the number of turns clockwise and counterclockwise? Should they be roughly the same?
1) As your "twine" shrinks and gets closer to "yarn",, while this might still work, it becomes more efficient to use a centre-spinning tool (and set the angle of twist by hand). For example wool and linen yarn is plied similarly but using a spinning wheel or drop spindle. Conversely as the rope gets thicker you'll need an increasing amount of force, so a fixed mechanism like a rope maker's wheel will become more useful. 2) It's more practical to gauge by tension than the absolute number of twists. As the rope thickens you'll need fewer twists to achieve the same tension. In rope making factories (traditional and modern) there's a set formula but here I think it's easy enough to do by eye.
En una región de Colombia se le conoce a este instrumento como torno, taraba o tarabita aunque estos últimos ahora se usan para las canastillas de los cables aéreos, tambien conocidas Como garruchas. Esa canastilla colgante lo asocian nombres de herramientas manuales
Very interesting we have that here in Portugal at Vila Franca De Xira city it is used to make cordage for the horse ropes because this rope ia a softh rope
i call that tool a Mayan spinner...we wool spinners use it to spin wool, and ultimately make yarn. ours is smaller. watch youtube videos on mayan spindles.
Dude. You have a drill. Attached a metal loop into your drill like a bit, and use that to twist your twine to make the rope. No need for your primitive tool. Sorry.
They probably have a proper rope making machine, too. Your comment speaks of ignorance as this video is about a tool. And this tool needs no power or electricity other than what you provide, that's something most modern drills can not provide. It is also quiet. And there is tremendous beauty in simplicity
@@georgesedeno7891I wasn't belittling you. Ignorance, as in needing education, and as I intended it, is not an insult. I was pointing out that just because you have a tool doesn't make it the best or only method to get a job done. Your open mindedness is also indicated in how you respond to criticism (also not a negative or insult).

It’s called a fox wedge, works for decades!
It's a great idea! I'll be using it for wall pegs as a coat rack.
Wood use is cheap and the square is a bit small I thought of that but considering all of this it will prop just split the thing open
Thank you. That is wonderful to see. I never knew about this method. This is a much more approachable method than many of the others out there. Thanks again!
I think this could make an interesting addition to Corporals Corner .... Id love to see a bush craft of this.
Very interesting. I've seen old photos of waterfront rope making sheds, now I know how it was done and why the buildings where so long. Thank you

This is a very simple technique, a lot simpler than other rope-making videos I've seen. 😊

Been Doing This As A Child!
wonderful video 👍🙏
very well explained. like it
Instead of using masking tape, could just tie off the end with whipping with the same twine.. thanks for the vid, now I understand better

Thanks! I am going to try this out.

Very vocational educational,
Wow, very interesting! I guess I would be in trouble if I wanted to end up with a 100’ rope !
Good video and very interesting
How did you make the first strand?
Also do you know how to make a temporary bridle for cows or horses from a single rope?

Think you i'm firs like in this video 😁👍
Excelente obrigado 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤝👍
would like to see how you make a really long rope ( 20 to 50 ft ) I tried but got a big mess.
Does this technique work with paracord?
Doubling, twisting and tripling is great, but you should have increased tension in the original cord used.
Thank you for sharing
Nice method.
If you pull the grime out from the inside the twine will come out and leave the barrel in tact
Wot jeans are those ffs i cant find anything like that where i live.
...looks like the forstner bits are in need of shapening....or new ones.
where are you from? very interesting accent
Thanks a million

Oh it's a bit like stone age perforated batons ☺️
Hi from hull UK
1st step to make a rope:
Find a bigger piece of pre-made rope.
Jokes aside, nice video.
You have a drill, get a clothesline hook and use that instead of the handspinning.
Good
Those drill bits work better slower.
Hugs
He made the spinning device more complicated than it should be. All you is a screw in hole slightly larger than the screw.
For both to be 3/4" that was a lot of shaving
Wet and stretch till dry .
😮😮😮😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
genius
I can make a rope with jungle long grass without using any tools in emergency and it is stronger enough for use.
What is "adope" ? I do not understand the word.
Learn how to use a coping saw properly!
Why dont you title this what it really is-a MYAN SPINNER
K is silent
Be easier to buy thicker rope!
If you have a store to go to. That's the point here.
Thanks! I decided to go to Home Depot instead.

Gee you need to learn about sharpening a bit.
Please don’t stick your tools into the dirt when you are done using them.
So ein Blödsinn!
It's important to keep the labels on your tools so you can get full refund when returning them to the store after making your video.
Try less knife and more sand paper...that looks ridiculous and not sade

As mentioned, your comment is rather ignorant. Many people enjoy learning about traditional tools and methods. And yes, beauty in simplicity.
@@TomeOfKnowledge74 hey Tommy-go-figure...your comment is rather naive and uninformed, much more ignorant than any page of "tome" you deem to possess.

Why don't you just use the drill
you used earlier
Good
