After I made a post here about making rope, people wanted more info and a video of how to do it.

I made a video using my rope making machine. Its still chilly up here (only 48 F) but we got it done. Im no George Spielberg but I think the video explains the process well enough. prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster that is all the pageantry and pizazz involved in old timey Rope making. No refunds, Please be kind/rewind the video after watching.

(edit!, Im not sure why it makes you watch the video on youtube. I dont have the tech savvy to make it viewable here)

That was quite the thriller, Ron!  I was on the edge of my seat when you fired up that torch, wondering how our twisted but intrepid hero would escape going up in flames.  (Sisal must not be very flammable.) 🤔

I grant your film a compost-fed fresh tomato rating!  🍅  (George Spielberg would be proud.)
