Making a four strand rope of tarred hemp

Our rope maker Sarah brought her apprentice Niclas along to Älvängen, Sweden, to make rope at the full length ropewalk they have there, along with Bernt from the Rope maker Museum. I'ts a bit more advanced then our rope walk back home in Hardanger, and allows for longer and thicker ropes to be made.
This rope is for the rigging on the historic ship Gurine in Hardanger.

Reipslagar Sarah har med lærling Niclas til Älvängen, og lagar taljereip av tjæra hampegarn til Galeas Gurine, Rosendal. Med seg har de Bernt på Repslagarmuseet. Museet har ei reiparbane i full lengd med utdrivarteknologi, som gjer det mogeleg å slå tjukkare og lengre tau enn me kan gjere på vår "lille" reperbane på 80 meter i Hardanger.

My goodness that was neat to watch. Would sure love to see that in person.

I love the fact that even in 2021 in this all plastic-all automated-soulless world crafts like these still exist . It is mandatory for the new generations to keep these crafts alive for ever. I know mass production and such is inevitable but these crafts must stay alive!
Everyone is hunting big money and with big money comes big production-mass production-low quality etc etc. Hapiness is not a matter of money, is a mater of living. Living needs money but much less from what we make it look like.
Sorry for my bad english but I needed to put it out.

Outstanding. The creation of that magnificent rope from many small threads was a CREATION of amazing proportion. Doctor George Whitehead.

Very informative! I like doing basic rope twisting with my hands, problem is that it is not as consistent or can have as many threads to make up the rope/cordage. I am looking for ways to do something like a "one man rope walk" because of space and willing manpower (that's me!) to make a strong and longer rope.
Keep up the good work!

Hva er regnet for en full lengde? I Ålesund hadde vi en med 300 m lengde, i hht gamle foto. Fantastisk å se folk som håndterer så elegant gammelt håndverk. Flink jente det der.

I worked on a machine exactly like this at British ropes Willington Quay Tyne & Wear 1969-76

Then they tightly wrap duct tape around them and sell it to WWE haha

We need to get off my butt and start learning how to manufacture again
