  • Do you have any plans/specifications for the "rope making machine" you used in the video?

  • No plans. But dead simple. I just took some left over garbage and put it together. Each rope attached to an "eye bolt". Then 3 "Z" (or L) something to make the eye bolts turn. And then in my case an aluminum pipe to the "Z" to make all 3 turn at the same time. The bolts thru the pipe to "Z" swivel, while the eye bolt to the "Z" is fixed. Remember the rope gets shorter and shorter so the "rope making machine" must move along as it shortens (assuming it is fixed in other end).

    Thank you mr00president. I have a couple of large trees I am going to cut down & I need a good strong rope. I was thinking of doing exactly what you have done & turn 3 ropes into I good rope. cheers

  • What are those L brackets things called and does it have a bolt attached to the end of it
