Ropewalk

Make your rope on a rope walk

I did a lot of research on how to make rope on a rope walk and build my own rope walk. I love to share my experience with you. The quality of the rope delivered in your kit is not always of high quality. Fluffy, badly made so that you can better use it to tie up your old paper than to rig your...

The machine is simple to make from scratch, you just need a set of gears.

Hi All

Is there a person out thier (probably less than 17 years old) (which precludes most of us on this forum I'm guessing) who has the technical ability to produce these into 3D printable drawings. I believe they're called stl files?
