  1. Rope-Making

    Share Share Post
    There is a machine for making ropes. It is like a box and it has three hooks on the front of it, and it has a handle on the back of it. Binding twine is used and first it is knotted on the hooks, and twisted into three thin ropes, and then the three twisted into one. The hairs are burnt of it and the ropes are ready for use.
