- Hey guys! In this video we show you how we fix a frayed rope. It's a simple inexpensive fix that lasted us over a year of hard use the last time we did it.
Enjoy!

I am a *Rope Fanatic* nothing wrong with what you are doing there, but have you ever thought about whipping the end of your ropes? Just makes them look so lovely!
Great idea! Have not done that and will check it out. Do you have any suggestions for examples on how to do it?
My only concern would be if the rope will go through the eye or ring on our throw bag for getting the rope high into trees. Its a pretty tight fit.

Common Whipping is the simplest of all the types of whipping. If you use a nice fine whipping twine, it will end up about as thick as your tape. To achieve this you do need to haul up nice and tight on the whipping twine. Here is an example of using coloured twine on a rope: instagram.com/p/BiWd1DxgDmu/?taken-by=peart_john
If ever you have time on your, (ha ha), hands you could also try other forms of whipping: instagram.com/p/Bdr1LTOjfLE/?taken-by=peart_john
Thanks! Will give a try it, and do a video and even give you credit! Time is so short. maybe when we get these houses built, the pasture cleared, clear for our gardens, small orchards and berry fields, build the barn we build out of wood milled by us from huge trees we cut down on our land, maybe then we will have some time, lol.
Thanks again for a great suggestion. We will be trying this. Looks like an awesome way to go.

So looks like next month is a bit busy, but after that you should be fine ;-)
Whipping is a great skill to have and I've seen a sailmakers whipping outlast the rope, but for most situations, the go-to material of choice is the tape you used. On laid rope you need to wind the tape in the same direction as the lay (opposite to what you were doing) on braided rope it wont matter, no need for two lots of tape, just one slightly longer than needed and cut both as one. As Sparks, have you tried heatshrink?
Makes good sense wrapping in the direction of the twist. We use similar methods on wires being screwed down. Always put it with the open end in the direction of tightening the screw.

Cowboys are better at roping
If you run nice long tape section you can cut it in half and not have any frayed rope. We used to do this at the power company where I worked for 24 years!
Great idea! Thanks!
My uncle was a power company worker. He did the high voltage power lines. My cousins and my son and myself are all electricians. Runs in our blood. My grandpa was also an electrician.

Does anyone know how to keep cotton twisted rope from fraying thanks
Sorry. Honestly don’t have a clue.
Terry
i don't understand why the second wrap of tape
Hey Doug. The second wrap of tape was to help hold the rope in its natural form until the cut was made. Without the second wrap of tape the rope could move around a bit and possibly unravel slightly which would be counter productive.

Learn how to back braid and roll it out. You won't have to do it again for the life of the rope. It only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to do.
Thanks for commenting! Good idea.
I do have concerns though.
I have done that many years ago. If I remember correctly doesn't that make the end of the rope a bit larger in diameter? If so the throw line we use has a small diameter ring that the throw bag attaches to and you can barely get the end of the rope through it the way we are doing the ends now. If it were any bigger on the end the bags we use would not work with the rope back braided.
Terry
Forest ToFarm , if you back braid and then put it on a hard surface, with your foot you roll it back and forth you can work it down to the same diameter. My father and I did this all the time to are ropes. They would go through are block and tackle with no trouble. We also did braid splices and worked them out the same way to get them down to the same size. Loop on the end we're done the same way.
OK, well we will have to give it a try. I can assure you when we do it will come with a video! : )

if I might suggest a more permanent fix from a master: ruclips.net/video/uivsF61ytLQ/видео.html
