So I've been thinking about this for some time, I just need to figure out how to do it. Back when I was a teenager I made a rope machine, we used it for braiding 3 braids of twine into a larger rope.
I'm interested in doing the same with AMSteel, only with more braids, say 6+, but bundling smaller amounts of AMSteel so that the overall size and weight is smaller.
The idea behind this is AMSteel is inexpensive and really some of the best stuff out there. Probably the cheapest overall source of spectra on the market, but way overkill for guylines, etc. I was also thinking about Cannibals mayan thread.
I'm normally pretty good at researching how-to's on my own, but I could use some help on this one with ideas or if anyone knows of a machine out there that does this.
