Rope making machine
CLS and plywood with steel hardware
A piece built out of necessity as a tool for an endangered craft. As only about a dozen people in the UK make rope, it’s almost impossible to buy the machinery for it, so I built it myself. This is my second draft of a rope making machine and is constantly being adjusted and added to as needed. No doubt I’ll be doing another full rebuild a year from now!
