Thanks for the comments. Yes, the paper towel holder that I used for the main shaft is hollow. So far I have only used regular sewing thread. But I'm sure that if I found something thicker I could use it.Quote:

I use the miniature rope for ship modeling. I am currently working on a model of the HMS Victory. I'll try to attach a pic.Quote:

Wow! You must have the patience of angels. Sorry for the use of the word twine I’m not familiar with the patois of modle ship building.Quote:

PJ, Thanks for the comments. I guess I could post my portable workstation made be making some simple modifications to a Home Depo cabinet. And add some pics of the model. I also have some other builds I would like to post when I get around to it. I made a band saw from elevator parts and a table saw.
