Bob58 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi, I'm looking for a hand cranked rope making machine that could be clamped or bolted to a table to make 3 strand rope. I've turned up 2 very simple tools (one from troop 28 and an out of print book that features the 3 or 4 strand machine I'm looking for. (I think that the book is called "making rope with a hand operated machine" -- neat title huh?) Though "out of print" a copy may be available from "leahman's kitchen" but I'm under the gun time wise. Any help would be appreciated..... Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Aren't there plans for such a device in the Pioneering merit badge book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imasoonerfan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Can you tell me if this IS in the Pioneering MB book? I am looking to make one for our Webelos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Skipper Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yes! It is in the Pioneering MB book. We are doing a pioneering theme this month. I would have the book on my desk now and tell you the page number, but I left it in my workshop last night (open to the page on a ropemaking machine).

AnaMaria Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The bear book shows how to make rope using a bench vise and a drill brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imasoonerfan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks! I hated the thought of driving all the way over to the Scout shop and then it is not in the book! I will look in the Bear book as well. I am new at being a Den leader. I have been Cubmaster for 3 years and had to take over our Webelos 1 Den when our leader quit and moved to another Pack. Sure is an eye opener to see how the other half lives. I appreciate my Den leaders a lot more now!! Going to make one for the Webelos to use for a Craftsman project!
