A lost Craft - Traditional rope making [Subtitled]

This is a short documentary about Herber de Keizer , one of the last traditional rope-makers in the Netherlands.
The appeal of the roper is almost extinct due to industrialization and the use of synthetic materials.
Herber solely shows his craft at fairs and markets to a small group of interested viewers.

Dit is een korte documentaire over Herber de Keizer, één van de laatste ambachtelijke touwslagers in Nederland.
Het beroep van de touwslager is bijna uitgestorven wegens de industrialisatie en het gebruik van synthetische materialen.
Herber geeft alleen op braderieën en markten zijn ambacht nog weer aan geïnteresseerde kijkers.

Very interesting, thanks. I don't know when this was filmed but it was posted almost ten years ago. Hope someone is still at it!

Right Never Lost. There are so many of us rope makers all over the world. The modern factories can make the rope and so will I.

Wonderful! I bought a child’s cord maker that ran on batteries, but it either didn’t come with the piece that travels between the twisted strands to make the final cord, or I lost it not knowing what it was for. Now I can make one and the cord maker will be useful! Elizabeth Wayland-Barber, a historic textile expert suggests that cording and string was one of the first human inventions. So necessary for bunching items like the feet of caught fowl, sticks for fuel, etc. also that still useful string bag for food shopping in the wild! Where there are string bags the idea of nets mirrors it!

NEVER lost! but sadly not done on the same scale. a fascination I've had for a few years now, I've even made small ropes from old newspapers. great video, I don't think we have many in Australia though

With the coming economic collapse, I need to learn to make everything I will be using.

Can I have the address of his workshop please? I really want to visit once the lockdown is fully lifted.

The person running the camera shouldn't drink before filming.
