Fantastic precision craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing! 😎🇺🇸👍👍

I'm years late for the unveiling but outstanding job!! It really is great to watch machines with human power being put together. Cheers!!✌

I’m a fiber artist and I was watching tutorials on fringe plying, it led me down the rabbit hole to this video. Amazing!! That’s one of the most beautifully built machines I’ve ever seen! Just brilliant!

I have been watching you do amazing ropework and now I find this gem, you are a fabulous woodworker as well. Thanks for another quality video and a worthy reproduction... I think I want one myself now!

Wow, what a lifetime of knowledge on display! This deserves so much respect!

I just found your channel and find it incredible how many trades or skills and your ability carry them out,thank you for sharing them with us,all the best to you and yours

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Mikko, you are such a skilled craftsman. It is a pleasure to watch you work. Thank you so much for keeping ate art of rope making alive. You are an inspiration to all of us knot tiers.

I am a carpenter cabinet maker and thoroughly enjoyed this Vid. Thanks again Mikko.

You are a craftsman in every sense of the word sir.

That’s for sharing this. It brings back a lot of memories.

Thank you for building this replica to keep the craft alive

Th parts remind me of the old time Tinker Toys. The work and workmanship of experts is as beautiful as the finished pieces.

One word "Awesome" Thank you for sharing this, and all your vids..

Beautiful! Loved the design, the execution and the presentation. Thank you!

You sir are amazing!! Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship with us!

Whatva beautiful so instructive video, showing the Old Way of fabricating all parts So impressive, thank you

Really, really nice Mikko, and thank you for all you do for the craft, from knotting tutorials to making fine cordage available for purchase. I'm also totally in love with your shop.

incredibly skilled craftman thank you for sharing

As usual, another fine video from Mikko. Thanks! Loved it.

Absolutely beautiful ! Thanks for sharing

Thank you. Both entertaining and educational.

You are freakin incredible and your workmanship is beyond belief !

I’ve been watching your videos for some time now and i find the blend of watching you work using such skill combined with the wonderful guitar playing very interesting while being relaxing at the same time. Your videos have helped me through some bad times. Thank you for what you do so well. ❤️😊

Excellent work! 💥👏

Nice to see the old ways being kept alive

I used to work for a mom and pop outfit that made poly ropes in different sizes, from lariats up to 3” in diameter. These were made on homemade equipment. Probably the hardest work I’ve ever had. Especially when it came to thing the knots at the end, because they were woven ends. Trying to get the rope ends even and laid out, required you to use your fingers splayed out, dragging the strands between your fingers. When I went home the first day after I learned how to weave the ends, my fingers looked like raw hamburger. Even using gloves didn’t work too well because it ate them up too. Eventually I used baseball gloves with two different sizes, one over the other. Even then they were wire out by the end of the week.

such amazing craftsmanship! well done!

Wonderful job, now i have understood how the ropes are made, thank you Sir!

I so admire your skill. Thank you.

Fantastic woodworking abilities and knowledge for a working machine.

Bravo. Thank you so much for such a great video. Your craftsmanship is wonderful. I could watch you all day. I want to make a wooden, hand powered, rope making machine, and this is the best I've seen. I am going to use recycled plastic shipping bags as my cordage

Great Job , congratulations, thanks for sharing.

lovely machine and music.

Great Craftsmanship, don't see much of that today. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, Mr. Patience! Nice work.

I've been building mini rope making devices if my own design. Thank you for all your inspiration.

Very well made rope maker.

You know everything ....great work

Fantastic job Mikko

Fantastic, nice job. Thank you.

Thanks, this is very interesting, I wish I had your skills experience and tools :-) Keep up the good work.

That is just beautiful!

this is outstanding!

Really enjoy all your video's and appreciate you sharing them and have watched many. But this has been my favorite so far.

this was an amazing build

Awesome work

That's so beautiful!

شكرًا لجهودك اسمح لي انت فنان بكل معنى الكلمة

Wonderful work, Mikko! I've been following your channel for a few years now, and I've watched this video perhaps a dozen times. I recently decided I would build a mini version of your rope maker, for my ship models ropework. I've never been really satisfied with what I could find in stores or online in regards to scale cordage for my schooners. As an asside, I went and replaced my old birch seam rubber with a new one I turned from a small board of lignum vitae. The board came off an ancient huge resaw, where it was used as a bearing board between the saws jaws. Beautiful stuff, thank you for the inspiration!

So awesome This is really cool

Just awesome

Very cool!

Knot Head !!!! Your King !!! Thanks

"The Craftsman" Nice work.

beautiful!

I work at a ropemaker museum in Sweden and to see this is wonderful! Really nice work!

Most excellent!

fascinating thanks Paul

High Mikko great video, very educational and entertaining. I will definitely be trying this when I get a house and a shop. I actually came across your channel a few weeks ago thanks to the video on how to make tarred rope and I hand made cordage and wanted to try making the tarred cordage I need it for a project I’m making but I noticed you took the video down I was hoping you can re up load it it was the only tutorial I can find on how to do it and I must say it was a rather good one. Just as the rest of your videos are. Anthony ☕️😊

Amazing congratulations recommendations

Nice job.

Golden hands at you the good fellow !!!

Very nice..

we love to hear the equipment1 can the music! great job

Two thumbs up!

Very well done. And nice to see that you still had most of your fingers at the end. I was worried at various points. I too am somewhat self taught, however for those of you who watch this, be very careful. I really enjoyed this video.

that was very nice

gold star for you

Nice video. Keep the past alive.... 40 teeth on the big wheel and 9 teeth on the small wheels make for 4.444 turns of the hooks for each turn of the wheel.

That's what love is.

I love this every time I watch it. I don't suppose that our sketches are available for a guy to build from? that would be amazing.

This is incredible but I can't help but wonder how such a talented woodworker can pull all this off but still hadn't made himself a mallet lol

You should have put a link for the auction in the description.

I'm inspired

Amazing project and craftsmanship. You deserve high praise. I was disappointed to read in the comments that you did not produce a set of plans for this amazing replica. Although I am an amateur woodworker I would like to take on the challenge of building one of these. Any chance you could produce a set of plans from your replica and make them available for sale? Cheers and all the best from Canada!

Can i get the plans. Love the video. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work! There doesn't appear to be anything holding the steel hooks in place. Was there a pin added but not shown?

The smell at about 9:57 should be awesome :)

I've been looking into the knot tying lately, since I have more time on my hands, and I have found a lot of your videos. I must say, I am getting more inspired to make thing (tools and such) because of watching you, Thank you! first and foremost, for putting this out there for others to be inspired, but I do need to ask this... when you inserted the hook into the gear... I saw no shear pin or shaft key... Is it just friction that turns the hook? and if so.. wouldn't that wear with time? Thanks again!

This is incredible! I don't suppose there's anything in the way of blueprints to try and build this oneself, is there?

Muito boa parabéns.

Hi Mikko, very impressive! Here´s a link to a docu-short from Oslo, showing an older, simpler type of ropemaking machine without gears. I´m sure you know the type. The film is grainy, but it shows both spinning the fibre and making it up into rope. Sad film really, as it was a last-minute documentation effort on the very day the old guys emptied out their shop. The equipment got sent to the same museum that made the film. The machine in question is shown in almost complete facsimile in the French "Encyclopedie" from the Enlightenment, 1750s to 1790s. But machines like that were used long before, of course. BTW, I plant my own flax for sewing thread for leatherwork. Your channel is very inspiring, I added a subscription. Thanks, André (P:S. I only wrote in English because someone else might like to know what I was saying)

good

Do you use this to make your hard laid cord?

Rope from start to finish. History is so interesting and thank you for the video. Does anyone know the wage for rope makers of 17th century or before that? I can't find anything on wages for rope makers on KZfaq or Google.

Very Nice! Thanks! Do you sell those Finn Fids?

I missed it ... how did you lock the iron hooks to the small wooden gears ?

Wow

Is it better to crank the travel side while it’s traveling or to let it spin free?

Hur lång är diametern på det stora kugghjulet?

How did you determine the gear diameters for you gear train?

Amazing, I’m gonna build one.

...just need to work out the ratio of the 3 small wheels with 9 dowels to the ratio of the large wheel... I'll draw this in a 3D application first I think as it's my day job tool...

What’s the diameter of the hooks? And length? I am attempting to make a four strand contraption, and am curious.

Needs voiceover telling why they made the choices they did!
