How does it work?

Tool for ropes.
This is a variant lucet?

Mrs Glenys Chew:
Hi Struktor,

There's no sense of scale, but I have the impression of a farm tool at least 18 inches (45cm) across.

I wouldn't have thought it was a ropeworking tool, but I will ask my Dad if he knows what it is.  He used to own a farm, and may have seen one and know it's purpose.

If it is a ropework tool, I wouldn't expect it to be called a lucet as those are for use in the palm, and most seem to be only about 3 inches (7.5cm) or less across from the images/videos I've seen.

I'm still saving up for my lucet from The Lucet Company :). And I've just discovered that the post I tried to do a fortnight ago still isn't there on fancyworks, so I've been determined and got it there now.

Regards
Glenys

struktor:

There is a large lucet  :)

Mrs Glenys Chew:
Hi Struktor,

Thanks for that.  I hadn't thought you could use one that big so easily.  I guess it floorstands?

Do you know much about them? I only came across them recently.  In fact, I've had so much trouble getting hold of one I've made some out of plastic pegs (a bit awkward to use) and a large afro-type hair comb :D

I'm saving for the one from The Lucet Company, but as I want the dvd as well, it comes to about ?40.

Surely the bigger lucet carries a limit on its cordage size, though?  I'd have thought cord over half an inch diameter (1.5cm) would be difficult to manipulate into tight enough a braid.

Regards
Glenys

Couldn't you make one out of a piece of wood? Looks easy enough to make.  Post a template and I will cut one out for you.
