Well done ! ! Rope making is so fascinating and your machine is working quite well. I'm sure that you will have this perfected to your liking in short time ! I enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Great work, love it, not too many uses a motorised movind head. I searched a lot with very low success ont such motorised head, for info like when to initiate the spin etc. I noticed that you delayed that spin and according to the video it was at the feel of the repoe. I wonder if you need to keep the on separate hooks on the moving end. I guess it is easier to lay the rope but it may help the end of the spinning to be on an unique one.
Hi luc, thank you. I hope I will clarify all these aspects in my next video. Every thread needs to be installed individually to the hooks on both the machines
On the other side of the machine you don't need four hooks, one in the middle would suffice perfectly, because on that end, the three or four strands are supposed to come together anyway. Other than that, you built a very fine machine 👌
Bonjour merci pour ta démonstration je suis impressionné par le résultat, pourrais tu s'il te plaît nous faire un tuto pour ton ropewalk avec les liens sur Amazon pour acheter les mêmes pièces
Very nice work.👏 As far as I can see, it consists of 2 parts, right and left. I could not understand the direction of rotation of these parts. Can you help ?
Hi Serhat! Thanks =) Yes you are right, there are 2 parts. Both parts can rotate clockwise or anticlockwise. It depends on the type of rope you need to make...For a Z shaped cable the first machine rotates anticlockwise and the second machine, that is used to combine the threads, rotates clockwise.
Hi there, this is just a prototype, I made another video about this prototype which has a different set of components, here's the video ua-cam.com/video/JUq1SaW35Ko/v-deo.html Anyway I can share the blueprint of the gearbox, just send me an email on the email address you find in the channel's information page =)
Did you ever use the Aleksie Domoroth machine that you showed in an u boxing video a couple years ago? I just received mine and wonder if you had success with it. I haven't tried mine at all yet, need to finish up some projects to make room. Thank you for sharing! Steve
Yes I did use the planetary machine, but it has a few limits. Most important for me is that you need to find a proper thread that won’t require unthreading. The problem in-fact is that you cannot unthread a cable without the proper tension, so I was ending up having S-shaped ropes instead of Z-shaped ropes, and viceversa. The planetary doesn’t generate enough tension. The vertical machine instead is ok, it is the same as my fixed part and you can think of building your own mobile part so that it can be used horizontally. Remember that the proper, historical way that is used still today to make real ropes is the horizontal method (with or without guide; the one you see in my videos is without guide, that’s why you have that mobile part)
Understanding unthreading and tension management is crucial in ropes making. You can better understand this on part two of this video (link here ua-cam.com/video/JUq1SaW35Ko/v-deo.htmlsi=Rm5Ea4liAnYEhvRF I might consider of making a whole video specifically on this
Hi @noiskie valenskie you can see the thread I use in the video at 03:13 . It is a DMC Cordonnet n30. All DMCs cotton cordonnet are z-shaped so you’ll need to unthread them in order to make them s-shaped so that you can twist them together back to Z
Check out the part 2 on this about the improvements I made:

A step by step video of your next version with a detailed part list would be great. I’d like to follow along and attempt building one myself.
Thanks for your feedback Martin! Noted =)
Love your videos I fine them very interesting. Keep they coming.
Stay safe and be we........
Thanks Jason!

Hi David, thank you very much!
That’s pretty cool!! I have been using Ropes of Scale for my model ships… would love to make my own ropes. Very cool😊
Heard about it. The best materials for ropes are cotton or linen

That’s wrong. You’re talking about the traditional method and in that case you need a third component

Hi @Fuklenoir! Thanks, will do :)
You could also bring the three ropes together to one point on he other side, you don't need three attachment hooks there.
That’s a completely different system. Both extensively described by Frolich in his books

What do you mean by unthreding?
And couldn't you add tension?

great, keep up the good work, are you aware of model ship world forum?
Hi Donald! Thanks for your message, yes I know the forum I also think I have an account. I've never actively partecipate to it though
@@Tagliamare You should participate. I think lots of members would be interested in your work.
Hi Donald, thank you for the advice. I will surely have look :)
What type or kind of thread that are using for making a rigging for ship models?tnx..
