[TheForge] Rope making yak

Tue Jun 18 19:02:01 2002

I live near Lehman's but I never saw a rope making machine there.  I guess
I'll have to look again.

Lehman's serve a local Amish community and have a lot of hard to find hand
tools and "old fashioned" equipment.  I was surpised to see new wood spoon
bits and slicks as well as hand forged axes and froes.

Great place.
