[TheForge] Rope making yak

Tue Jun 18 18:04:01 2002

There is some overlap between ropemaking and blacksmithing.
It was my rope making demonstrations that got me invited to my first 
blacksmith conference.
Also,   Greg Davis, Author of the rope book and builder of the rope machine 
offered for sale on www.Lehmans.com   says he completed his basic 
blacksmithing course at  Amana, Iowa under  UMBA instructor  Roger Quants.

I have sold a few of Greg's rope machines and his rope books.

Gregs stuff can also be found at www.makerope.com and also with  Lindsay's 
Books.   Greg Davis, Dave Brown and other mid west rope makers   will meet 
for a rope making exchange at Living History Farms, Des Moines, Iowa  this 
August 3 & 4th.   We hope to have rope makers from 5 or 6 states this year.
