Rope Making Machine First Run Making Polished Hemp
Edward De Wit sent me this short video of his new Rope Making Machine in action. The old rope making machine had become rather tired, so Edward commissioned this beast of a machine to be made. Edward produces quality cordage in Belgium and he can be contacted via this link: igkt-solent.co.uk/quality-cordage-belgium/
This video is just a very quick view of the machine being put through its paces to produce 6mm polished hemp. There are plans to produce future videos demonstrating the full setting up procedure and detail on how the rope is made.
Some of the technical stuff that you may be asking, regarding this Rope Making Machine and the production of Polished Hemp.
What wax is used for polished hemp? Often beeswax or tarred beeswax is used.
Technical Information:
After intensive use of my old rope machine, there was wear and tear, also because I had the need to make very long ropes (100 meters) with a thicker diameter. My old machine also can't handle the weight of both the length of the rope and of the sled. The machine could also only turn clockwise otherwise the screw thread would come loose
That is why I have something new and much more robust ...
So I asked a colleague at work in the mechanical department if he could help me with that because my background is very different, I also knew that working with gears is very precise work.
I told him what my needs were to have a good machine. The conditions are a:
- Can rotate both left and right
- Robust, so can move a lot of weight (over 250 kg)
- Larger hooks (to be able to use thicker yarn)
- Gears ( ratio 1:3 )
- Mobile
- a recoil protection for both left and right turning (ratchets)
- Operation must be both with a motor and drill and by hand
- A good table that can take a lot of weight and can't tip over....
He set to work with these conditions and the result is impressive, if I do say so myself.
For the weight I use tiles each 22 KG heavy that I can store under the table.
The hooks are M16 - 65 mm in size.
To prevent the table from tipping forward, I use two extra legs that are 45°, at the foot of those legs there are plates with a hole. the hole is for putting in an iron tent pole and the other plate is for when I am standing in grass, it can pull itself into the ground.
The machine itself weighs 26 kg and is about 30 cm high.
P.S. There are no drawings or plans of the machine.
The link above will take you to Edward's contact information.

    Ashley book of knots #1126 Tag knot, ties a cow hitch on a looped rope. Can't for the life of me figure out the drawn path :) Do you know it?

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots День тому

      With that knot, what I do is as follows; make the shape as shown in figure 1126(a), then I put my hand in through the loop fromed where the arrow is, reach up and pull both leads through the loop (this follows what the arrow is showing), you only need enough pulled through to create another loop. I have found that you then need to just rearrange the line above so that there are no crossing points. Well that was as clear as mud???

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots День тому

      Forgot to say, the initial loop you have is not the final loop. When you pull the two lines through to create the second loop, that is the final loop. the first loop at the beginning forms part of the knot.

    Very informartive. Could you tell us how to finish the globe knot (hide the rope ends) once you're finished making the knot? I want to put a globe knot on either end of a pole (like you did with the stick with 3 passes), but I'm a complete beginner and don't know how I'd finish the knots once slipped on the end. Thanks!

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots 9 днів тому

      Once you have placed your globe knot over the end of your object, go round a few times and gently but firmly tighten up the knot. Once nice and tight, you can then cute the ends flush and gently tuck any unsightly bits under the Globe Knot. I also find that if you want to give the Globe Knot added protection and lock it all in place, you can use this finishing solution: ua-cam.com/video/G9iI7Rm33io/v-deo.htmlsi=nq0FlqGaElasL_jy Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

      It depends on what you are planning to do with it; if you are creating a neck lanyard, you would bring the two ends together and then use all the strands to tie a decorative knot such as the Matthew Walker knot. If doing a picture frame, I would glue the ends, then cut at 45 degrees for the corners, then cover the joins with a another decorative flat knot, such as the Ocean Plait.

    Here's a crazy idea, only to be used in the most dire of emergencies. The book Practical Knots & Ropework by Percy Blandford has a section on climbing knots. The situation he discusses is that you need to descend a cliff and then recover your rope when you reach the bottom. You need to have something like a tree near the top of the cliff. The best method is to simply pass the rope around the tree and let two equal ends hang down. You use this doubled-up rope to descend and at the bottom you pull on one end to recover the rope. But what if the rope isn't long enough? You need to somehow secure one end of the rope to the tree in such a way that you can still recover it. Here's the crazy idea: You tie an Oysterman's stopper knot and pass it around the tree and under the standing end, with the loop and the knot lying on the ground. That's it! The pressure of the standing end against the face of the stopper knot is supposed to hold the loop in place. You recover the rope at the bottom by giving it a hard shake. The book claims that if you climb carefully, always keeping tension on the rope, you won't fall to your death. Good luck with that!

    Absolutely do NOT put a slip ending on the gnat hitch. That is because the last nip is NOT where you begin to untie this knot. Experiment with a heavy load by using a slip and no slip, and you'll see what I am saying. Also, the gnat was invented to be a secure hitch that is as small as possible. A slip ending just makes the knot bigger while having no purpose as explained above.

    Thank you very much for your knowledgeable, clear and simple to understand explanations. From your experience, which is the best knot to safely tie a mooring line to a bollard. Please consider that my boat is a 32 ft, 4.5 T sailboat. Thank you

      I am wondering if it has to be a knot, perhaps a rope with an eye splice might be better?

    When making either a bed or other structure in the woods, would a transom knot suffice versus a square knot?

    Kalmyk loop/knot is much better, I think. Because it's slipped variant Kazak/Eskimos loop - one of bowline family.

    When i started out, it was a pain in my ass, and took awhile to get how to do em in my hand. After several yrs, i can do em blindfolded. Now I've seen alotta jigs and mandrels, and these look more of a pain than by hand.

    "The mooring hitch can slide along the standing part (A-B); a pull on the other parts (C,D) can lock it into place, forming a fixed loop also known as the Lapp knot. " - Eng wiki Don't mention it!

      I find that version one works well in certain ropes, perhaps use version two for extra security?
