I'm the one
Some thought I was joking, but als - I was not! Here is the beginnings of the "Rope Bridge" that will span miles of open who knows what ... we can only wait and see. Here are the cross members for the Bridge Walkway. You'll note the grooves at either end of the members that will hold the rope cables that will connect them:
There are numerous styles of Rope/Swinging Bridges all made differently. I will be making two (possibly) with this one having a series of cross members connecting two lengths of rope cabling that will span the gorge/river/valley. There will then be planks laid out on top of these cross members the length of the bridge. The walkway will be then supported by other ropes and cables.
And the ropes that will connect the above:
A black and brown length of cotton rolled together then coated in white glue.
