How ropes were traditionally made

I helped out on the Dinghy Cruising Association stand at the 2024 Douarnenez Boat Festival in France. I made several short videos of the event, and this is the first: There are thousands of people called "Roper" and hundreds of "Ropewalks" in coastal towns and cities around the world. This video shows why they were so named, and how ropes were traditionally made. Obviously this setup is just for demonstrations, as a real rope would be much longer than the 10m/30ft one being made here. Clearly there is a LOT of walking backwards, and co-ordination between the rope winder and the thread twister is essential. The video should be self explanatory so no commentary is needed.
