How Cowboy Ropes are Made at King Ropes in Sheridan, WY

[@gunnarmeyer2884]

I've never handled a rope in my life, but dang was this interesting. Thanks man!

[@JeremiahCraig]

Right?! I learned a lot

[@kinmaravee2955]

Me as a person who work at rope making company... I know exactly what this man is about... and it's fascinating to to see a different method of rope making...

I was just in Sheridan a few weeks ago. We toured King Ropes, the museum out back, and yes, I bought a hat.

Awesome footage of how ropes are really made. Thanks for sharing this footage Jeremiah!!

[@lucaswhite3850]

Awesome video! Love the behind the scenes footage you are able to get. Very informative.

They sell a lot of those up here, Thanks for sharing this I have always wondered how they actually made them. I watch the Apache cowboy and Adrian Mendoza for some good ol roping fun.

What's weird is, letting the traveller force the twist like that, rather than arresting it by hand, is considered 'wrong' by rope maker standards, as it's 'too hard a twist' and you'll get shouted at. Yet they not only let the cob and traveller loose, but let it force itself along down the walk. I've never seen that before, but it explains why farm rope in America is so damned rigid! Although I sincerely believe the only reason for the hand arrest on the cob or traveller is to spare the materials, you can get an extra ten feet of rope with a soft sub 45 degree arrest. Which probably saved rope makers a fortune in the long term. This is a MUCH easier way to make rope. Albeit a very stiff rope.

Mike Whooten is a very nice guy and will take the time to show a visitor the same tour that he did for this video. Awesome business!

Lassoing is something I have always fancied trying.

[@Rainbient]

Amazing

[@gaylecheung3087]

Cool!

[@JeremiahCraig]

There was even more cool stuff there too! Looking forward to visiting again

[@gdenton55]

Great video, thanks.

[@georgecuyler7563]

I had to learn how to splice my lasso loop. Dad said it was important to use the spliced loop rather than tying a loop.

[@vance3973]

As someone who likes woodworking, I will probably not ever need this info but it is damn sure interesting!

[@bluenovacorgi8230]

How do u fix a rope that has a curve in it or a figure 8 ? I cant find anything on how to fix em...

[@kinmaravee2955]

Pull it tight so it would reform again but make sure you put strong enough pressure in it...

[@cedrickization8159]

I’m curious when I saw these lariats are soaked in paraffin wax, do y’all know how piggin string or racer calf string is made so stiff? Is it just melted nylon???

[@marioteran2704]

Great rope for how it's used by the cowboys. But this kind of rope won't last for the Mexican Vaqueros endeavors.

[@googeel1379]
