[rawhider]

hey, ya'll. i have a question for anyone who has ever dona any amount of rope making. I would love to get my hands on a twisting machine, or even some plans to make one. I could really boost up my productivity if i coudl get my hands on something.

Thanks!

Here's a video of a guy doing this - go to this site and then scroll down to Doug Krause. There is a short video of him twisting a horsehair rope. That's the nicest rope-twisting machine I have ever seen. There is probably some information on how to contact the guy, so you could ask him about it. Unless you were looking for something more basic...
