Historical Ropemaker, Cordage Spinner, Nets, Knots & Historical Interpreter   Using natural fibres and manual equipment, Thomas recreates the process for making cordage, rope and nets, useful commodities throughout history. Great effort and dedication has been put into the research and the making of the tools and equipment that are needed to produce the rope, as other rope making demonstrations are by machine, not hand, enabling participants to take an active part in the demonstration.
