Daryl Posted May 30, 2014 #1 Posted May 30, 2014 Hi I am at the point where I would like to stat making my own ropes. I have been searching for suitable plans of a "machine" but to date I have not found one that I like. A lot of those on the internet seem to be for general purpose large rope and not what would be used on a model ship. I prefer to make my own tools rather than buy something off the shelf, so I am hoping someone can help me out by pointing me to where I can get some plans, either free download or purchase. regards Daryl Regards Daryl Current Build: Chinese Bird Boat - Scratch - 1:25 Last Builds: Viking Knaar - Dusek - 1:35 Santisima Trinidad Section - OcCre - 1:90 Llaut - Corel - 1:25 African Queen - Scratch - 1:36 Next Build: Chinese Junk - Scratch
grsjax Posted May 30, 2014 #2 Posted May 30, 2014 There is a previous post on MSW with links to several threads about ropewalks. Hope this helps. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/5522-ropewalk-links/?hl=ropewalk My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
