Ropewalk Scale Rope Making Tool by ME - opinions? I have a full pdf set of the plans for it as I had briefly thought of making it myself. However it would have taken up too much desk space for my needs, So I went for doing the very simple vertical shaver- based rope walk. A slight advantage of the vertical one to the one in your plans is that it is not rigid - - the rope can shorten as it is formed. On small distances such as on the rigid horizontal one it probably doesn't make much difference (it doesn't need a weight as it is rigid), but if you were to make longer rope it might be. I simply don't know. The other thing about the hand cranked version is that when I started thinking how to build it I thought it more fiddly to get accurate with the positioning of the metal wire handles. With the shaver the whole question of having three rotating heads perfectly in sync and aligned obviously does not arise. However the speed is constant with the shaver so I can't adjust the tension. As with all ropewalks there is also a learning curve for how much weight to apply, what types of thread to use and so on. For my purposes, being a real novice, I am quite content with the rope I'm making at the moment, and don't care at all if it is right- handed or left- handed.
I'm just pleased that I can make anything at all! Of course, once I'm more experienced I might become a lot more picky! I know that people have made very satisfactory rope with the rigid construction you are thinking of, so, as always, the thing is to try it out and see how it goes.
