    Rope pulling has got to be cheating. What next a line shaft then a motor!

    Psh... someone will go and do something stoopid like make a machine that doesn't need a rope!

    Rope..?
    I'd invest in some pillows to surround my bench first.

    Gary, I never said I'd PAY LN prices! I always wait for Rob to push out an introductory offer on their version!

    All I can find at the local antique stores around here is twine. Do you think twine would work? I'll betcha' that if I had enough twine, I could turn it into rope.

    HF sells twine. I like it because it looks very antique. Dark,brownish color. Looks like twine you could have purchased 200 years ago.

    As a followup to his hickory bark chair seat video I believe Brian Boggs is currently working with LN on a video demonstrating how to make hickory bark plane pulling ropes. John, perhaps you should wait for the video's release and try your hand at making your own.
    Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...

    In Japan, they don't use rope. They tried but it's awfully hard to get anywhere pushing on a rope.

    I KNOW if you have enough twine you can turn it into rope. Not that hard even.

    I'm SORRY, but I have to say it. Is this one of those threads that should never have happened! Or has CABIN FEVER gotten to some.
