in yesterday’s video we made a simple homemade contraption that will convert
homemade contraption that will convert
homemade contraption that will convert plastic two-liter bottles into hundreds
plastic two-liter bottles into hundreds
plastic two-liter bottles into hundreds of feet of plastic string we ended up
of feet of plastic string we ended up
of feet of plastic string we ended up making over 1,200 feet of this plastic
making over 1,200 feet of this plastic
making over 1,200 feet of this plastic string so for this video I thought it’d
string so for this video I thought it’d
string so for this video I thought it’d be fun to bring back our rope making
be fun to bring back our rope making
be fun to bring back our rope making machine and why are these strands
machine and why are these strands
machine and why are these strands together to see if we could make
together to see if we could make
together to see if we could make ourselves a genuine plastic rope now the
ourselves a genuine plastic rope now the
ourselves a genuine plastic rope now the two main questions I saw in my rope
two main questions I saw in my rope
two main questions I saw in my rope making video were how do you make a
making video were how do you make a
making video were how do you make a longer rope and what would happen if you
longer rope and what would happen if you
longer rope and what would happen if you were to take three fully made ropes and
were to take three fully made ropes and
were to take three fully made ropes and wind them together on the Rope making
wind them together on the Rope making
wind them together on the Rope making machine well you’re in luck because
machine well you’re in luck because
machine well you’re in luck because today we’re going to answer both of
today we’re going to answer both of
today we’re going to answer both of those questions at the same time we
those questions at the same time we
those questions at the same time we experiment with our plastic string now
experiment with our plastic string now
experiment with our plastic string now in my original Rope making tutorial I
in my original Rope making tutorial I
in my original Rope making tutorial I took these two devices and clamped them
took these two devices and clamped them
took these two devices and clamped them to either end of my workbench and strung
to either end of my workbench and strung
to either end of my workbench and strung a line between them so if you want to
a line between them so if you want to
a line between them so if you want to make your rope longer all you have to do
make your rope longer all you have to do
make your rope longer all you have to do is increase the distance between them so
is increase the distance between them so
is increase the distance between them so for today’s rope making experiment why
for today’s rope making experiment why
for today’s rope making experiment why don’t we take our spinner hook unit and
don’t we take our spinner hook unit and
don’t we take our spinner hook unit and clamp it right here to the head of my
clamp it right here to the head of my
clamp it right here to the head of my workbench I will take the back end unit
workbench I will take the back end unit
workbench I will take the back end unit and clamp it across the room to a
and clamp it across the room to a
and clamp it across the room to a counter 20 feet away now since we’ve
counter 20 feet away now since we’ve
counter 20 feet away now since we’ve increased the distance of a rope machine
increased the distance of a rope machine
increased the distance of a rope machine we’re also going to need to increase the
we’re also going to need to increase the
we’re also going to need to increase the distance of our guidelines as well so I
distance of our guidelines as well so I
distance of our guidelines as well so I went down to the home depot and picked
went down to the home depot and picked
went down to the home depot and picked up a couple packs of 50 foot paracord
up a couple packs of 50 foot paracord
up a couple packs of 50 foot paracord this just gives us the option to run our
this just gives us the option to run our
this just gives us the option to run our machine out 50 feet long if we ever feel
machine out 50 feet long if we ever feel
machine out 50 feet long if we ever feel like doing that let’s go ahead and bust
like doing that let’s go ahead and bust
like doing that let’s go ahead and bust out some cords and line our machine
beautiful thing when a plan comes
beautiful thing when a plan comes together
you go okay so good news guys in a
you go okay so good news guys in a couple of minutes we’ve got our Rope
couple of minutes we’ve got our Rope
couple of minutes we’ve got our Rope machine all set up the guide wires are
machine all set up the guide wires are
machine all set up the guide wires are nice and tight and the slider moves
nice and tight and the slider moves
nice and tight and the slider moves easily between both ends so just for fun
easily between both ends so just for fun
easily between both ends so just for fun I went ahead and measured out the
I went ahead and measured out the
I went ahead and measured out the distance between these two contraptions
distance between these two contraptions
distance between these two contraptions and it runs about 22 feet and since the
and it runs about 22 feet and since the
and it runs about 22 feet and since the two-liter bottle makes about 95 feet of
two-liter bottle makes about 95 feet of
two-liter bottle makes about 95 feet of rope we’re going to need about one and a
rope we’re going to need about one and a
rope we’re going to need about one and a half bottles to make this length of rope
half bottles to make this length of rope
half bottles to make this length of rope here and you know how it works from here
here and you know how it works from here
here and you know how it works from here we’re going to take our string thread it
we’re going to take our string thread it
we’re going to take our string thread it between all the hooks then take a power
between all the hooks then take a power
between all the hooks then take a power drill and wind them all together so
drill and wind them all together so
drill and wind them all together so let’s tuck these suckers up it gets
let’s tuck these suckers up it gets
let’s tuck these suckers up it gets spinning I think I’m going to start out
spinning I think I’m going to start out
spinning I think I’m going to start out with green just because that’s kind of
with green just because that’s kind of
with green just because that’s kind of unique
all right there’s one and a half hooks
all right there’s one and a half hooks done and I don’t think we’re going to
done and I don’t think we’re going to
done and I don’t think we’re going to make it back with this and we shouldn’t
make it back with this and we shouldn’t
make it back with this and we shouldn’t need nearly as much just half
[Music]
[Music] cool so we’ve got all of our lines
cool so we’ve got all of our lines
cool so we’ve got all of our lines strung and as anticipated it took one
strung and as anticipated it took one
strung and as anticipated it took one and a half soda bottles to string this
and a half soda bottles to string this
and a half soda bottles to string this line really curious to see how this
line really curious to see how this
line really curious to see how this works out now it’s looking really good
works out now it’s looking really good
works out now it’s looking really good so it’s time to hook up our drill get
so it’s time to hook up our drill get
so it’s time to hook up our drill get spinning and see exactly what happens
[Music]
[Music] oh wow it’s going already making the
oh wow it’s going already making the
oh wow it’s going already making the rope that’s good news we might actually
rope that’s good news we might actually
rope that’s good news we might actually have some success
[Music]
[Music] sweet look at that we actually did it we
sweet look at that we actually did it we
sweet look at that we actually did it we made a genuine piece of soda bottle rope
made a genuine piece of soda bottle rope
made a genuine piece of soda bottle rope now because this is so long I did have
now because this is so long I did have
now because this is so long I did have to guide the spacer forward with my hand
to guide the spacer forward with my hand
to guide the spacer forward with my hand at times to release some of the tension
at times to release some of the tension
at times to release some of the tension because I felt like the rope was going
because I felt like the rope was going
because I felt like the rope was going to break but once it got within about
to break but once it got within about
to break but once it got within about four feet it just went on its own no
four feet it just went on its own no
four feet it just went on its own no problem there you have a guys there is
problem there you have a guys there is
problem there you have a guys there is our length of soda bottle cordage now we
our length of soda bottle cordage now we
our length of soda bottle cordage now we start off with about 22 and a half feet
start off with about 22 and a half feet
start off with about 22 and a half feet of cords and after it while on the
of cords and after it while on the
of cords and after it while on the tension into it this rope turned out
tension into it this rope turned out
tension into it this rope turned out being 18 and a half feet so looks like
being 18 and a half feet so looks like
being 18 and a half feet so looks like it’s shrunk in size by about four feet
it’s shrunk in size by about four feet
it’s shrunk in size by about four feet if you look really closely you can see
if you look really closely you can see
if you look really closely you can see it does actually resemble a three
it does actually resemble a three
it does actually resemble a three stranded rope now because the fibers
stranded rope now because the fibers
stranded rope now because the fibers were a little bit wider than sisal or
were a little bit wider than sisal or
were a little bit wider than sisal or any other kind of fiber it gives it a
any other kind of fiber it gives it a
any other kind of fiber it gives it a little bit more of a rough appearance a
little bit more of a rough appearance a
little bit more of a rough appearance a rough texture that looks pretty cool
rough texture that looks pretty cool
rough texture that looks pretty cool nice shiny and green it’s kind of pretty
nice shiny and green it’s kind of pretty
nice shiny and green it’s kind of pretty this actually worked out pretty well I’m
this actually worked out pretty well I’m
this actually worked out pretty well I’m very encouraged so let’s rig up our
very encouraged so let’s rig up our
very encouraged so let’s rig up our machine and make two more
beautiful there it is boys
beautiful there it is boys two down one to go okay I’m gonna
two down one to go okay I’m gonna
two down one to go okay I’m gonna release the tension here
update guys we have finished three
update guys we have finished three different strands of three stranded rope
different strands of three stranded rope
different strands of three stranded rope and they’re looking pretty good so what
and they’re looking pretty good so what
and they’re looking pretty good so what would happen if we rigged these three
would happen if we rigged these three
would happen if we rigged these three lines up to our machine and wound them
lines up to our machine and wound them
lines up to our machine and wound them again
again
again is it possible to wind a three strand
is it possible to wind a three strand
is it possible to wind a three strand rope out of three strand rope
rope out of three strand rope
rope out of three strand rope this is rope ception
guys I’m excited this is the moan of
guys I’m excited this is the moan of truth we have our three strands hooked
truth we have our three strands hooked
truth we have our three strands hooked up to our Rope making machine to make
up to our Rope making machine to make
up to our Rope making machine to make another rope and it’s time to pull the
another rope and it’s time to pull the
another rope and it’s time to pull the trigger but there is an important thing
trigger but there is an important thing
trigger but there is an important thing we need to keep in mind whenever we’re
we need to keep in mind whenever we’re
we need to keep in mind whenever we’re making a rope out of three stranded rope
making a rope out of three stranded rope
making a rope out of three stranded rope we need to spin the hooks the opposite
we need to spin the hooks the opposite
we need to spin the hooks the opposite direction if we spin the ropes the same
direction if we spin the ropes the same
direction if we spin the ropes the same way we did when we originally created
way we did when we originally created
way we did when we originally created them they’ll actually undo themselves
them they’ll actually undo themselves
them they’ll actually undo themselves this time so we need to flip our drill
this time so we need to flip our drill
this time so we need to flip our drill into reverse and spin the hooks the
into reverse and spin the hooks the
into reverse and spin the hooks the opposite way you can see that when we
opposite way you can see that when we
opposite way you can see that when we spin the hooks this direction it
spin the hooks this direction it
spin the hooks this direction it actually tightens the rope it makes it
actually tightens the rope it makes it
actually tightens the rope it makes it harder which is exactly what we want we
harder which is exactly what we want we
harder which is exactly what we want we don’t want it to undo itself we want it
don’t want it to undo itself we want it
don’t want it to undo itself we want it to get tighter will it work
to get tighter will it work
to get tighter will it work we’re about to find out here we go
we’re about to find out here we go
we’re about to find out here we go [Music]
cool it’s not perfect but that is
cool it’s not perfect but that is looking more like a rope so check that
looking more like a rope so check that
looking more like a rope so check that out guys we took three of our ropes put
out guys we took three of our ropes put
out guys we took three of our ropes put them together and made them into another
them together and made them into another
them together and made them into another rope and this stuff is looking pretty
rope and this stuff is looking pretty
rope and this stuff is looking pretty legit it’s a little rough but it looks a
legit it’s a little rough but it looks a
legit it’s a little rough but it looks a lot more like a rope panels like a rope
lot more like a rope panels like a rope
lot more like a rope panels like a rope and looks incredibly strong now just to
and looks incredibly strong now just to
and looks incredibly strong now just to go one step further why don’t we take
go one step further why don’t we take
go one step further why don’t we take this stuff cut it into thirds and run
this stuff cut it into thirds and run
this stuff cut it into thirds and run one more cable three times as thick
that’s kind of cool huh all right let’s
that’s kind of cool huh all right let’s tape it off I’ll give
tape it off I’ll give
tape it off I’ll give [Music]
it is success we have done it guys we’ve
