Rope making

K8 tried his hand at making a 6-strand rope - the old fashioned way.

He did the first step on his own, then...

...we needed more hands to help out.

Our instructor said that a good quality rope would stand straight up for 18" without bending. K8's high quality rope held straight for over 24". Impressive.

  1. We've done that before! Did you get to keep the rope?

    1. Yes, we were the only guests at the rope-making, so our instructor gave it to K8!

    1. Kit-Kat, With the guidance of our kindly host, it was very easy for any of us to make, so I am very sure you would have no problems. We just need to get you there!
