I feel a little dizzy now. I think they need a faster way to make it.

Well how would you like to be the new guy trying to figure wtf you just did and getting those ropes all tangled ....

Interesting, thanks for posting it Ckliff.

I'm right in the process of shipping a 300 foot rubber air line out to Yale Cordage so they can spin a polyester jacket onto it for use in my new counterweighted climbing system, a process they call over braiding.

Apparently over braiding is something very common at YC for use in the marine industry.

Fun vid to watch, thanks. Now I want to find one that has a guided tour of Samson or another rope manufacturer with detailed explanations given of what's going on at each machine station.
