More small blocks made..
Before I have the milling cutters ready for the production of small pulleys, I started making all the ropes. There are a lot of them, 10 basic diameters in total. All Dutch ropes are right-handed, which means that it is difficult to make weak 3x1 ropes. Left-handed threads are first twisted into right-handed threads and then the ropes are knitted. Guttermann threads are quite good, but the weaker cotton waxed Sajou threads like to hold their shape and I don't want to twist them in the opposite direction. After a long time of trying, I figured out the ropewalk settings and especially the last adjustment. All the finished ropes are slightly hairy, I stretch them under the flame of a lighter..
The 3x1 Sajou cable with a thickness of 0.35 mm also has to be pulled over the edge repeatedly to align the threads. But it works..
