Just made one for myself, works like a charm once you do some fine tuning. The fun thing about this design is its material simplicity, it's just wood, bolts and washers. If you own basic tools you can do this. If you don't have access to all those materials easily, just use something comparable. I could not find any washers bigger than my wheels, so i made my own wood washers instead, it's not as pretty but it works. Thanks Grant, i would have loved more projects like this from you.

[@paveldimov7375]

Hello Grant, Great Project. I have an idea that came to me as I was watching the video. If you manage to put electrical cable in the middle of the rope before you twist it and it stays in the core, you would be able to make very nice and stylish power cord with different materials, colors and use in projects like reading or standing lamps and chandeliers.

[@YungMorris00]

Pavel Dimov he can drill a hole at that semi-spheric wooden ball and the cable will be passed through there.. as a result it will be inside that rope as u said.. awesome idea dude👍

[@ltsam5815]

Pavel Dimov I was thinking something like this but instead making paracord or something else with a high stretch value.

[@LEBeck-ww9yl]

I've spun hair (I make yarn on a spinning wheel, which is very similar to rope making) and it is terrible. It is too slick for friction to hold a single together under any load, and plying only makes it marginally stronger. I ended up andean-plying it for maximum strength, and it still weak, and very itchy. Not worth the time or hair.

[@femcostarr8908]

We made rope in scouts, too. We used UV resistant polypropylene baling twine, quad stranded about 100 foot long. For our tension we attached the rope winder to a solid post and connected the other end to a picnic table with formed metal legs that would slide across the ground. After making three small ropes, we wound those together using the same method. We ended up with a forty foot long rope with a little over 1/2 inch diameter. I have been wanting to make an improved rope winder using the planetary gear set from an automatic transmission. Wish me luck.

[@haydenhishmeh6559]

Hi, grant, could you try adding a hole and putting a charging cable in the middle of the string. I feel that this would not only make for a cool design for your cable in customization but would also add structural support for those of us whose wires consistently are ripping and exposing the wires inside.

[@lethal.8903]

[@DFX2KX]

you can do that, just cut a hole through the middle of the shuttle. That's how braided USB cables are made (though they use a braid and not a twist)

I live in a city that was once famous for its shipbuilding. To complement that industry there was a ropeworks. It's long-defunct but I have been in the ropewalk. It's the part of the complex where the rope was actually made. The twisting was done on a bogey that ran on rails hence the extraordinary length of the building. Of course, the finished rope was about six inches in diameter as it was intended to keep ships securely berthed while in port. The ropewalk ended its life as a firearms range.

king of random. is there a way you can make a contraption that can wind rope continuously from a large roll of rope instead of cutting off pieces?

[@February54]

I hope there is a better way than just making the rope making machine longer.

[@adamv6753]

To do this, he would need to create a way to spool the rope as it gets tightened, instead of using a counter weight. That way the spacer in the middle doesnt have to move much.

[@miikee111]

Check out "homemade visco fuse machine". My guess it would share a similar principal/method.

[@willywilla]

Rudolf Hess thank you

[@DFX2KX]

There are machines that can do that, but they're quite a bit more complex. the three hooks are attached to individual spools, and instead of letting tension twist the rope, the whole hook assembly spins around. The upside is you can make ropes of indefinite length if you splice the spools.

[@MindlessDude]

Kind of curious if there is a way to make the rope wrap up on a roll and then have then have the smaller strands feed in where the hooks are... You could make longer rope with smaller space... Just have to keep tension on the eye hook strands. That's the part I haven't figured out yet. Hmm do it grant!

[@shinyandnotpanicking]

MindlessDude You could probably look at different boating cleats or knitter's tension techniques for ideas for keeping the tension. Love your idea

[@MindlessDude]

They just seem to short and with just dragging it out a 100 feet it would need somebody down the line to make sure it doesn't mess up. But if you make it 6 feet long and have it wrap up like I said then it still only need one person.

[@ashkhol]

Watch his Sosa bottle rope video. He makes it very long

[@y.z.6517]

Yes.

[@brackencloud]

instead of binding it off, you tie more fiber to the spinning end, and latch what was at the spinning end to the weighted end. It will create a rough patch, but its the easiest way to do it, as tying to have longer strands at the begining will result in tangling if the machine is not large enough

[@thedefectiveturret2386]

Do it with copper wire!

[@lmccluer]

I used to actually work at a rope making company. We used polypropylene strands, and made ropes from the size you made, up to actual tow ropes and even large boat ropes that were up to three inches in diameter. All of our rope machines were hand made, and used different methods of pulling or keeping the poly tight while turning the rope. Probably the most fun to make, yet hard to tie was lariats, because when you rue the actual eye of the rope that the free end goes through to be able to make a loop, is so tight. You thread the individual strands through the standing rope, the twisted part, after putting a leather sleeve on it, then force the strands apart, while pushing the free end through each strand. Really complex, and you have to do it right or it won’t work right. When tying of the ends of regular poly rope, you have to take the ends to make them straight to tie. Doing so when you first learn to tie, you get blisters between your fingers, that soon break and ooze. Even wearing gloves, they wear out fast, because they can’t be too bulky otherwise you can work with the ends to tie it. I bought golf gloves because they are fingerless, and thick enough to use for about a week before they are are ate up and you have to get another pair.

[@starbuck1983]

Here's a suggestion I thought you might like: try making a length of rope from a plastic bottle and see how much weight it can take. There's tons of videos on KZbin about making rope from a plastic bottle, so take the finished product from one of those and slap it on your rope making machine there.

[@jo4274]

nerf extensive just move the 2 parts of the machine further apart

[@schwarzschildradiusattaine2248]

Like jo said and even Grant said you just have to put the ends further apart and add spacers so the strands don't get tangled.

[@NiccoHel]

Lengthening the run would work, but the best way would be to feed each one of those hooks with line from separate spools. Then you'd put a wheel or winder at the "swivel" end to provide tension as well as holding the length of the rope.

[@chandlermason1796]

[@timster7794]

Troll thank for the kind reply

[@timster7794]

You could also use steel wire like 12 G wire

[@polyjohn3425]

Standard 18G copper wire would work fine. The problem is metal doesn't act like these fibers, and twisting them this much will give them a lot of internal tension that will make them very brittle. Technically you can fix that by a process known as annealing, but that involves heating them quite a bit and then letting them cool very slowly, so it's a very slow and tedious process.

What is the science behind why the rope doesnt just unwind after you cut it off even with the tape why doesn't it come undone and couldn't you just twist it back to its original form by hand?

[@tonysalvadori2632]

It is true that you can just rewind the rope back but its a pain and not as strong. The science behind of why the rope doesn't want to unwind is because the twine has past its elasticity point and has gone to its plasticity form. Also, the friction of each strand also contributes a great factor in why the rope doesn't unwind, which explains why the rope is never the same if it get rewound.

[@crazy_wb]

tony salvadori thank you haha that makes sense

[@tonysalvadori2632]

Zach 58 yah mate no prob.if you need me to clarify on anything let me know and Ill see what I can do.

[@jeevad.tharan4179]

It will if you remove the end constrains. Friction and tension on the rope makes constrained, hence the effect.

[@schwarzschildradiusattaine2248]

It will only unravel easily on it's own just after you made it (hence the tape), but if it's worked and used over time it will seemingly hold itself together if the binds are cut. Yeah you can still easily undo it from the ends by hand, but it won't fall apart the whole way through.

For example, if you want 25 metres of rope, you shouldn't need a straight venue 25 metres long. I know it's possible, because obviously the factories don't have 150 metre stretches of machinery, but they manufacture those sizes of rope. Maybe if the strands didn't go straight back to the carbine hook, but instead came off to the side, with another counter-weight holding it up? When the slider reaches the three hooks, you move the counter-weight at the end of the rope and let more of the strands through, move the slider back and continue from there. If I had the materials at home, I would've whipped something like that together, just to try it.

All you really need is a portable pulley system and adjust it every couple of meters

additionally you can make the rope system vertical instead. Make your self a wooden post to secure the system in your backyard, attach the system 25ft going up. When you are done, detach the system

it is possible to hand twist rope as well. you can make it as long as you want that way.

erq: That's what I was trying to say, but you used a lot fewer words :) Kayle: Don't know about the laws in the US, but here in the UK, you kinda can't stick a pole 25 metres in the air like that. Also, 25 metres, not feet :) 25 metres is a little over 80 feet. Henry: Where's the fun in that? Also, as Grant has pointed out several times through these videos, it takes 3-4 people to handtwist rope, and it takes a lot longer, and the result doesn't always come out the best.

Nothing stopping us in canada to stick a 25 metre pole in our back yard : /

Excellent video of an ancient technology. Rope-making has been around for centuries, so of course you will find videos here on YT on hand-made (and non-electric) equipment and similar process. There are still rope-making runs hundreds of feet long in Europe, and they are still used today for making rope, often for boats. Great video.

[@shodmermaid3365]

Jasper's Review ^it would be cool if could do that and then insulate them Then he could make his own diy electric motor
