| Homemade Rope All it takes to make rope is a simple homemade hand crank machine and baling twine. |







| Rope making machine This machine was made by my father years ago when he was a boy scout. This machine works great. Just string up the baling twine and start cranking. The trick is the movement of the rope wrench (see below). When it is done right it is magical, the twine twists up into rope right before your eyes. |

| Finishing touch Use a Bernzomatic torch to burn off the loose fibers sticking out of the rope |
