Modern Marvels-Ropes and Chains

[moonfarm]

You all might try and check this out on repeats-Modern Marvels on the History Channel did a new episode last friday on Ropes and Chains. Sadly, they left arborists out, but some pretty cool high angle rope work anyway. Nice to see inside the Samson factory-you've got to see the 10" Amsteel line. (Maybe that should be the bridge on my Cougar)

I saw that. It was really interesting. Watching rope being made is one of those things I could watch for hours.
