You can use tallow or vegetable shortening to lubricate the stick the pulley is spinning around, gets rid of any tendency to stick. When you're trying to lower something that doesn't weigh much from a height it can really be aggravating if it keeps sticking on you. Really cool project- I watched my dad build these when I was younger- he used a hand brace instead of burning the hole in- and spent a lot of time making sure his bearing stick was as round as possible- to prevent sticking, but you still had to lube it up to make it work really well. That's the story of life though isn't it- gotta lube it up or it doesn't work very well.

A good improvement on this project would be to put a stone point on the drill rather than relying on friction to burn through all that wood. Saves calories, reduces frustration, and the stone tool can be used for many projects. Strongly recommend every bush crafter learn to make stone tools, it's the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving!

The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed, if not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost... the Minnow would be lost. Their ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle. with Gilligan, the skipper too... the millionaire and his wiiiiiife. The movie star ("and the rest" or), the professor and Mary Anne... are here on Gilligan's iiiiiiiiisle. I'm sorry it had to be done.

This is awesome. Hopefully one day I will have the space and time to mess with the idea a bit. Couple of thoughts. If you use staghorn sumac for the pulley, the drill might be easier as it has a pithy center. I would also consider using some walnuts or tallow for grease, although you might just get critters destroying your hard work. If I have the time I'll try all of this and maybe even use some beefier cordage with spike hitches and 2 pulleys for mechanical advantage.

@@Growmap I do think it is strong enough especially as used here. It might not be the first wood you pick for building a bridge but a small circular piece used as a pulley I think it would be plenty strong for. Mostly compression forces in this use case. I imagine that is much less stressful than a horse standing on a living branch and cracking it. Both smooth and winged tend to be smaller than staghorn in my experience. Can't speak specifically to strength differences though.

The bowline being generally the worst for strength retention. But we are also in this case dealing with a natural fiber rope which looks about 3/8-1/2" 3/8" is for 860-1200 pounds depending on manufacturer at new.

Wish I saw this video when I was a BoyScout Leader, could have made it a skills day test for the Scouts... Drilling is a lot of tired long work - you must have determination to see it through. Putting animal grease on your rod where the pulley cog connects lessens the friction and will help wear down the rod evenly. Great video! You speak well! Very clear voice and you don't add any unnecessary dialogue or go off subject...

First tip to improve this. Shape your pulley shiv gullet before you cut it free of the original stock. Second tip, Use candle wax if you have it to lubricate the spindle so it doesn't wear through too fast. Third tip instead of opening the line for the pulley tie the line with a combination clove hitch & a bowline. Tie this so the clove is on the spindle where the cross is at the bottom of the shaft. Tie both sides this way & the spindle or Arbor won't free spin & you don't have to place the knot right next to the pulley. If you must make sure the rope you hang it from doesn't rub the side of the shiv or it will cut through your suspension loop.

Great video! Just one reflection: with only one pully I think the only advantage over throwing the rope over a branch would be reduced friction. Not a bad thing in itself and will definitely make things easier, but with two pullies you can reduce the force needed to lift something as well: anchor one end of the rope to a high branch and slide one pulley on to the rope before threading the rope through the second pulley fixed at the same height as the anchor, but a small distance apart; the loose pully should be positioned between the anchoring point and the fixed pulley, upside down. Think of it like a V shape where the loose pulley is at the tip of the V. Whatever you want to lift is attached to the free moving pulley. The idea is that you reduce the force needed by elongating the distance. If you pull the rope 2 meters, the free pulley will only lift 1 meter off the ground, but the amount of force you need to lift it up will be halved by doubling the distance. Work done (Energy) = Force x Distance. Science is awesome!

And also, with more pullies you can increase the force even more.
