Over the years, I've managed to collect a wide assortment of information including original manuals, promotional literature and patents. I've also done considerable research on the people and companies involved in the design and production of hand-operated Rope Making. As such information is hard to come by, anything you can contribute would be most appreciated.

     Wanted!! Are you looking for a particular rope maker? Or maybe you have an extra one laying around! Send in the particulars on what you're looking to buy, sell, or trade. We'll post it with your contact information and see if we can help you with your quest.

     Have a question, or query? Ask away, or check our Questions and Answer page. In my experience, people seem to have the same questions no matter where I display. I find it a challenge to answer their questions in both a historical and interesting fashion. As a frequent exhibitor, I find using the same explanation gets monotonous, so I'm always looking for ways to shake things up a little. Do you have a favorite story, or explanation? Email them to me and I'll include them with the Q&As.

     I'm also in the process of building a contact database for collectors and demonstrators of hand-operated Rope Making. I feel it will be a useful tool for any historical society wishing to acquire the services of this rare breed for their own events. If you wish to join our database, just fill out the form on our contacts page. Welcome aboard!!
