Rope making- with a hand drill

In this video I demonstrate rope making using a hand drill. This process is comfortable, fast and provides consistent results.
This technique is based on a tutorial by the user Asemery over at Instructables.

Enjoy the video!

Thanks Mark. I love how you say "S"-hook. I was distracted whilst watching and swore you said ass hook until I noticed what you were using. Got a chuckle from it. It's amazing how simple it is to make rope.

1st, the drill is a "herky gerky", mine is 100 years old and stills works well.
2nd, read the Boy Scout Merit Badge pamphlet for "Pioneering". It will show how to make a simple hand-crank device to twist all three cords at the same time. Scouts have been doing this for a long time. I learned when I was 10 years old.
Nice video.

Love this!! Just found your channel...your instructions are so clear and easy to follow...thank you!!👌

Brilliant method! Important to count how many clockwise turns you give the first three loops to get an even lay. And then twist altogether in the other direction. All the tools are already in the toolbox.

I was using your older method for making rope (the one with an L shaped tool). Definitely going to upgrade to this one.

It’s easier to simply run out a loop 3 to 4 times the length you had, twist it all as one (paying attention to the original twist on the twine), double it and allow it to twist back on itself, then twist the new pair in the opposite direction, fold it triple and do your finishing twist.

Well Mark, this was imho a very clear tutorial! do you have any idea about how strong this rope will be?
Another question, can I multiply this rope another three times... thanks and keep up the good work.

Beautifully done and presented Mark. What is your source for the hemp twine?

[Mrdaulat]

Excellent.
Keep checking Indian episode of "rope from old fabrics/sarees"
You will get some more idea for your next tutorial.
