a few weeks ago I said The King of Random isn't random anymore - that it has changed from a truly creative channel about DIY and discovering things into "Silicone cast everything and then put in into vacuum" channel
I happily stand corrected
Audie Liem wait so you think he's random again?
Audie Liem don t trust edited comments
Hi Lol rope making machine is definitely not what I expected.
Audie Liem did you really think that would be permanent?
Audie Liem he gets his ideas from viewers (which are pretty not original)
Do a strength test on the rope and it's original string components to see how much more it can hold.
would be especially interesting to compare it to strands of the source material to see how much the winding itself does
Maybe compare your homemade rope to professional rope
Sound like an awesome idea
I want to see the strength of 550 paracord rope.
3 individual strands perfectly aligned can hold more that a 3 strand rope.
Rest in peace THE KING OF RANDOM you are in my memory

Just made one for myself, works like a charm once you do some fine tuning. The fun thing about this design is its material simplicity, it's just wood, bolts and washers. If you own basic tools you can do this. If you don't have access to all those materials easily, just use something comparable. I could not find any washers bigger than my wheels, so i made my own wood washers instead, it's not as pretty but it works.
Thanks Grant, i would have loved more projects like this from you.
Never knew about this dude until now this all his videos just started randomly getting recommended to me but I appreciate him and see he was well loved. Sorry to hear he's gone.
You should start a project of making a tree house and use your homemade rope. I've always wanted to build a tree house for myself
bobZILLA He should
You should try to make a rope with fishing line!
Cool idea!
Elias Henstad that is what I was thinking
And floss and various types of wire!
Elias Henstad I just commented the same thing! It would be so strong and I have been thinking about this all day.
Thank you so much for staying with the viewers as close as possible with details
this was my favorite video, i thought the process was so cool. the world misses you
I would love to see rope made from the wires inside Cat5/6 cable.
YES
Greg Nelson cat 7 will do well
I wonder if a electric wires can be powered
I'm just waiting for the day when grant finally accepts the fact that he IS a professional

Cool seeing the simple machine put to use :)
South Main Auto Repair I don't know if you have ever seen the old style rope yards, that make use to make rope for shops, they basically use an identical system. Just on a much bigger ratio.
Iirc they has horses powering them, and kids being used as spacers/guides. But all in all its the same idea.
@@StephenButlerOne I've actually seen a guy with a very similar setup but using a handcrank, and it was outside, with the anchorpoints dug into the ground and using an iron weight in place of a water bottle. At a small, local renaissance faire.
That was pretty cool.
Brilliant and simple. very innovative. Thank you.
You definitely should use this to make either a steel wool rope, or a big fuse. I think that by wrapping one of your paper fuses with hemp or cotton, you'd make one of those big cartoony fuses you can see in shows
I'd like to see this!
maybe use it to make back powder fuses
yea make your own steelwire
or use it to make vape coils
thats what im gonna do cept im making mine from plexliglass
Mmmmm....Heeeeemmmmpppp.
Hello Grant, Great Project. I have an idea that came to me as I was watching the video. If you manage to put electrical cable in the middle of the rope before you twist it and it stays in the core, you would be able to make very nice and stylish power cord with different materials, colors and use in projects like reading or standing lamps and chandeliers.
Pavel Dimov he can drill a hole at that semi-spheric wooden ball and the cable will be passed through there.. as a result it will be inside that rope as u said.. awesome idea dude👍
Pavel Dimov I was thinking something like this but instead making paracord or something else with a high stretch value.
I've spun hair (I make yarn on a spinning wheel, which is very similar to rope making) and it is terrible. It is too slick for friction to hold a single together under any load, and plying only makes it marginally stronger. I ended up andean-plying it for maximum strength, and it still weak, and very itchy. Not worth the time or hair.
.R.I.P. you where so inspiring to me and I wood smile every time I saw you made a new video but you are in a better place called heaven and the new gang are doing a great job .R.I.P.
What a cool guy...
he will be missed ...
To be honest, this was great, but wow! There's so much work to this. You really have to be a handyman to come up with functions like this.

And patience

or anything else
Oh great look who it is -_-
But will it turn metal wire into rope?
Dusk Shλde woah there ADHD much
Cool you a cool person king of randome
I think tie wire is not loose enough to make a rope without just braiding it with your hands
Back in the eary 1900s New Era rope machines were used to make wire ropes. Or Cables,,,,
Rustaholic777 thanks Wikipedia
I don't know how I came upon these videos but I really like them there awesome and I'm so new to his videos I don't remember his name but he seemed like a really cool, nice guy,that apparantly has died even though I don't know him I feel a sadness for his loss he had a presence that very few of us have that you connected with him immediately and that's not common I've only known one person in my life that was that way and he passed away and I still think of how when he entered a room everyone's attention moved forward him like magnetism, I came to comment and thank him for his videos not aware he has died. And I hope those who knew and loved him might get some happiness knowing how much he has given us ,R.I.P
You accomplished so much in such a short time. Much respect, and thanks you.
no
The length is perfect to bind and strangle your enemies.
Nah, binding needs a bit more but that 20 ft rope should be sufficient. To strangle them, however, the length showed in most of the video is indeed perfect.
yeah, but I'm not sure if the rope is strong enough to hang the body and claim it was suicide.
Nosebush juuuust kiiiiiiil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Z
SeLf_MaDe I'm just here to make bdsm ropes...
just had an idea... if u have a cable running down the centre and the rope wrapping around it.. then u could make custom "braided" wire/cable for cool electrics projects
I wish you are my teacher, for my mechanical course. I learn a lot from your videos. The videos are thoughtful. Thanks
"Does that not look like a professional piece of cordage?" is my new favorite saying.
Put some sort of wire like an aux cord in the middle and use it to sleeve the cable
My earbuds are made like that. They last a lot longer than normal.
TunnelDragon44 That's pretty mad. do you reckon its worth doing in the long run?
Try fishing line!!
We made rope in scouts, too. We used UV resistant polypropylene baling twine, quad stranded about 100 foot long. For our tension we attached the rope winder to a solid post and connected the other end to a picnic table with formed metal legs that would slide across the ground. After making three small ropes, we wound those together using the same method. We ended up with a forty foot long rope with a little over 1/2 inch diameter. I have been wanting to make an improved rope winder using the planetary gear set from an automatic transmission. Wish me luck.
I too recall making rope as a Boy Scout - thanks for the pleasant blast from the past my friend
Do it with copper wire!
See how thick you can make the rope before it A) Breaks either the rope or the machine or B) Until you cannot physically make any more.
Also maybe see what else can be used to make rope such as Toilet Paper and *Insert more examples here)
DeathByAutoscroll I think he'd have to make the slits larger in the wood thingy to fit the thicker and thicker pieces of rope
I really like your name :D
it can be bizzare, what will be the machine's mileage?
The mythbusters made rope from toilet paper to simulate a prison escape
I live in a city that was once famous for its shipbuilding. To complement that industry there was a ropeworks. It's long-defunct but I have been in the ropewalk. It's the part of the complex where the rope was actually made. The twisting was done on a bogey that ran on rails hence the extraordinary length of the building. Of course, the finished rope was about six inches in diameter as it was intended to keep ships securely berthed while in port. The ropewalk ended its life as a firearms range.
Man, thanks to his dad's passion with the intricate way ropes are made and other things he learned with him he can now go on his own and do stuff like this...amazing!
king of random. is there a way you can make a contraption that can wind rope continuously from a large roll of rope instead of cutting off pieces?
I hope there is a better way than just making the rope making machine longer.
To do this, he would need to create a way to spool the rope as it gets tightened, instead of using a counter weight. That way the spacer in the middle doesnt have to move much.
Check out "homemade visco fuse machine". My guess it would share a similar principal/method.
Rudolf Hess thank you
There are machines that can do that, but they're quite a bit more complex.
the three hooks are attached to individual spools, and instead of letting tension twist the rope, the whole hook assembly spins around. The upside is you can make ropes of indefinite length if you splice the spools.
Hay King of random you should use a cooper wire. Or metal wire of some sort.
If u get a thick enough wire it will be fine
Troll thank for the kind reply
You could also use steel wire like 12 G wire
Standard 18G copper wire would work fine. The problem is metal doesn't act like these fibers, and twisting them this much will give them a lot of internal tension that will make them very brittle. Technically you can fix that by a process known as annealing, but that involves heating them quite a bit and then letting them cool very slowly, so it's a very slow and tedious process.
Well I mean if he's willing to do it. It would be cool to see how it works and it could also be cool for other people to see ho it works. Thanks for the reply
I really miss this man❤️😔
I never thought it went that interesting when I first watched your rope-making device. Thanks for that inexpensive DIY model of rope-making device of yours.
Now make a compound bow, with the rope
you should make three stranded paracord
that would be cool, or klevar string that would be cool too:3
Long live the King.
The lion king is the best
Hope you were referencing that
Dude, you're a genius! I've been fascinated by rope since I was a kid (I thought I was the only one!) My grandfather owned a general store and I always had rope in my pocket! I'm going to try this!
Yes plz do make rope with 3 strands that you made already
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" try doing a tug a war contest between 2 pickups!
MATT B That's what I was thinking
Really clever and great DIY skills in both videos, loved watching. Great content.
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Love it! Genius!
HOW IS THIS A 3-PART SERIES????
F*ck That's Delicious for dat £££
It could have been worse. At least Grant mentioned some improvements he made to the rope-making apparatus instead of just having a 10-minute video of him spinning hooks.
did you miss the episodes from the last two days where he was making the rope making machine?
do you know how much work goes into 1 10 minute episode? Just be grateful its interesting again, not more gummy vacuum nitrogen stuff. Personally I enjoyed it, really inventive
carpii XD
maybe try with 6 hooks?
This was my favorite video from him can’t believe he’s gone:(
This is real fun! Super great video! What a joy to do with your kids. Instant gratification!
amazing rope maker
that's the case
Hi, grant, could you try adding a hole and putting a charging cable in the middle of the string. I feel that this would not only make for a cool design for your cable in customization but would also add structural support for those of us whose wires consistently are ripping and exposing the wires inside.
just use 3 power cables to get a super powerful cable
hayden hishmeh Agreed.
you can do that, just cut a hole through the middle of the shuttle. That's how braided USB cables are made (though they use a braid and not a twist)
Twisting would probably damage the wires, which are only meant to handle force applied in specific directions.
Neat I’m sure I’ll never do it but it was cool to see how he figured it out and made professional looking rope. Keep it up!!!!
I will use your video in my STEM class. Thanks!
Who else enjoys watching these but never makes them?
Lastly I want to see the rubber ropes. Please man... Do it, that'd be fun
You can then add hooks to both ends of the rubber rope and now you have something useful
You can use the same to tie some stuff on the back of a bicycle or a 2 wheeler and even on cars For example, your Liquid Nitrogen flask..
Divyanshu Nayak ı think he tried and failed

Here's a suggestion I thought you might like: try making a length of rope from a plastic bottle and see how much weight it can take. There's tons of videos on UA-cam about making rope from a plastic bottle, so take the finished product from one of those and slap it on your rope making machine there. I'd be interested to see what happens myself
starbuck1983 sorry dude he already made rope from bottles
you have made a big difference to our world
I miss him! Popped up on my feed sep 30 2021.
Kind of curious if there is a way to make the rope wrap up on a roll and then have then have the smaller strands feed in where the hooks are... You could make longer rope with smaller space... Just have to keep tension on the eye hook strands. That's the part I haven't figured out yet. Hmm do it grant!
MindlessDude You could probably look at different boating cleats or knitter's tension techniques for ideas for keeping the tension. Love your idea
They just seem to short and with just dragging it out a 100 feet it would need somebody down the line to make sure it doesn't mess up. But if you make it 6 feet long and have it wrap up like I said then it still only need one person.
Loved by Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
How do you think they do it in a factory...
Erik Olson that's exactly what I was thinking of when I had the idea. My brain is constantly thinking of ways to improve stuff like this.
you should use super long elastic bands to make a rope with and test out the tension
Haven't seen this since my scouting days. Thanks.
Long live the king
Thank you so much for this!!! I make handmade horse halters and I needed a way to make my own lead ropes. This is how I do it! I even made a 25' one by stretching this across my barn. That was awesome.
You should try doing that with dental floss and see if it will work
Lets bind it together with myy idea of using 3D printed materials instead of wood and stuff, just to scale this up to another level and use materials like dental floss like you said, this could be sick!
Yeah I was about to comment that
it works
Wow! This is the most useful project! Make rope using rope...
Thanks for sharing! Awesome!
you should make a gummy rope to create a makeshift twizzler
you make me think frit strings, then get a
Antt1389 True
Antt1389 dude that should be dope
i think it would snap under the tension. if you want that just hand wrap it. it will stick together.
Would be interesting to see this contraption with a way to make longer ropes without having to stretch the rope out its entire length. In the long run, that's not a viable option. For example, if you want 25 metres of rope, you shouldn't need a straight venue 25 metres long.
I know it's possible, because obviously the factories don't have 150 metre stretches of machinery, but they manufacture those sizes of rope.
Maybe if the strands didn't go straight back to the carbine hook, but instead came off to the side, with another counter-weight holding it up? When the slider reaches the three hooks, you move the counter-weight at the end of the rope and let more of the strands through, move the slider back and continue from there.
If I had the materials at home, I would've whipped something like that together, just to try it.
All you really need is a portable pulley system and adjust it every couple of meters
additionally you can make the rope system vertical instead. Make your self a wooden post to secure the system in your backyard, attach the system 25ft going up. When you are done, detach the system
it is possible to hand twist rope as well. you can make it as long as you want that way.
erq: That's what I was trying to say, but you used a lot fewer words :)
Kayle: Don't know about the laws in the US, but here in the UK, you kinda can't stick a pole 25 metres in the air like that. Also, 25 metres, not feet :) 25 metres is a little over 80 feet.
Henry: Where's the fun in that? Also, as Grant has pointed out several times through these videos, it takes 3-4 people to handtwist rope, and it takes a lot longer, and the result doesn't always come out the best.
Nothing stopping us in canada to stick a 25 metre pole in our back yard : /
Rest in peace. I love your videos and I learned a lot from you. Hopefully your videos will remain online
Im watching remembering this great guy
What is the science behind why the rope doesnt just unwind after you cut it off even with the tape why doesn't it come undone and couldn't you just twist it back to its original form by hand?
It is true that you can just rewind the rope back but its a pain and not as strong. The science behind of why the rope doesn't want to unwind is because the twine has past its elasticity point and has gone to its plasticity form. Also, the friction of each strand also contributes a great factor in why the rope doesn't unwind, which explains why the rope is never the same if it get rewound.
tony salvadori thank you haha that makes sense
Zach 58 yah mate no prob.if you need me to clarify on anything let me know and Ill see what I can do.
It will if you remove the end constrains. Friction and tension on the rope makes constrained, hence the effect.
It will only unravel easily on it's own just after you made it (hence the tape), but if it's worked and used over time it will seemingly hold itself together if the binds are cut. Yeah you can still easily undo it from the ends by hand, but it won't fall apart the whole way through.
For the fishermen out there, can he do it with fishing line, if so how would it do against fish?
It would become rather thick and hard to reel in.
I thought that to but I'm not talking about something thick just something slightly stronger than braided line.
alaska nice I am a fisherman and I wonder the same thing
that would be fun to spool lol
alaska nice lol make braid
That's really cool!
Looks like you were having fun with that! These videos are so much fun
Today on the king of random, Grant fails to cut a glass buttplug in half.
Austin Gaddy that's not glass buttplug😂😂
OMG WUT
you need a diamond saw for that
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. Of course, with all his toys, the a butt plug the size of a maltese turd defeated him... Roflmas 🤣!!!
A butt plug should have a base wider than the widest insertable point if you want to avoid uncomfortable questions at the emergency room.
Lightly rub wax onto fibre-y strings to tame loose strands... results are AMAZING.
I will take the great information I learned from this video set and have my Cub Scout and Boy Scout units make some rope. Thank you so very much for the great project. Pack 41 and Troop 171
Thank You.
Two thoughts: 1) use plastic grocery bags 2) one-man braided rope machine
Or strands of carpet, like when you pull a loose end and get a big long thread of it. Would be pretty free, too.

You should combine 3 of the ropes you made to make indestructible random rope
I can appreciate the jig and the mechanics used to make the different kinds of rope. I would attempt to try and make a very wide one, say four to five inches wide, just to see how it looks. I like the whole contraption, real neat. Thanks for sharing.
Love your thought process. Glad I found your channel. Nice rope by the way.
Pretty cool contraption. Not a single person watching this will build one though.

try to use electrical wire
Jasper's Review ^it would be cool if could do that and then insulate them
Then he could make his own diy electric motor
Excellent video of an ancient technology. Rope-making has been around for centuries, so of course you will find videos here on YT on hand-made (and non-electric) equipment and similar process. There are still rope-making runs hundreds of feet long in Europe, and they are still used today for making rope, often for boats. Great video.
