    Antique  wood dental chest are very nice. We could say  it is like a Gerstner chest with more drawers. With the years, I did some tool chest in this style. The last one I did include over 1000 tool and accessories. The main difference and also the main reason it can have so many tools is because of the height and the depth of the drawers.

    I have seen a lot of rope making machine over the years from the most simple to the most exotics. There are a lot of ways to turn ropes and the quality of the turned ropes can cover a wide area of quality.
     
    Here are 2 example of rope machine, similar in their principle:
     
    The rope machine from the Musée de la Marine
    The rope machine I use
     
    One of the greatest advantage of this type of rope machine is that it can control the rigidity or the flexibility of the rope. The more weight, the more rigid will be the rope and also the swivel is a regulator for the tension and the number of turns.
    There are a lot of tools on the market and some do the job the best way possible...

    This rope machine can be use for all size of models. There is not only the size of the ropes but also the number of ropes. By example, the biggest anchor rope I turned was made with 3 (64 X 3): 576 threads.

    Or by changing the weight. It is easier not use the pulley but to reduce the weight instead. Simple machine and as much effective as  it can be:
    gear system to tun ropes, cone  not to mix the ropes, swivel and weight to get the perfect rope in number of turns and tension.
