I went out to our rural property today. While we were waiting for a truck that never showed up I was sitting there idly twisting some single ply hemp cordage into 2 ply rope and the guys I was with took an interest. We had the camera right there so I had Renato film the process. I did the explaination in english for the video and went back and edited out alot of the portuguese. Editing video is like magic.

Hey Mac,

I wish I could check out your videos, because I know they'd be first rate, but they just take to long to download on high speed light. Maybe one day take pity on us speed-challenged and do a step by step. :)

Doc,


I get up in front of people and yammer for a living, it's just quicker. I doubt I'd be showing you anything new. Mac
 
Thanks for sharing that, it was very interesting to watch. I often wonder how the old timers thought of doing some of the things like this...I guess much of it just evolved step by step through trial and error. But watching you make the loop and how it's finished off was "impressive".
