Hand Cage


To all the inhabitants of our sites and sympathizers, hello.

1st step. Background.
Forgive me, the public will be talking about the fleet and ship models, as well as the device that shipbuilders need.
In the sailing fleet, so-called cageing was used to protect the cables from moisture and grinding. I will explain the diagram for a long time.
Hand Cage


In ship modeling, this method is also used, but to convey, let's say, genuine sailing charm. What would model the sailboat was more like a script. There are many machines for this, both home-made and branded. Everyone (modeller) is trying to facilitate this laborious and tedious work, creating their own fixtures.

So I decided to make a manual cage for myself to work on a sailboat. A similar device is used for hardening (strengthening) bowstrings of homemade bows.

2nd step. What we need for this:


- spool from a sewing machine,
- a wide range of students (cut) or a piece of plywood (width 20 - 25 mm),
- hairpin M4 x 32 mm
- wing nuts on M6 2pcs.,
- screw M4 x 26 mm 1 pc.,
- M4 nut 1 pc.,
- tube diameter hole in the spool,
- a washer reinforced with a hole diameter of 4 mm - 8 pcs.
- a manual fret saw,
- a drill or a drilling machine,
- files
- sandpaper,
- varnish.

3rd step. Getting started.
We mark it on the ruler, but we can also make a stencil, the diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the spool, we postpone 16 mm along the axis and mark the center of the second hole and the second circle with a diameter of 12 mm.


On the sides we draw two straight lines tangent to both circles. The resulting figure (detail) will be called a cheek. There are two of them. For this we do one, and mark it up and do the second. We drill holes in the second cheek, folding the parts together.

Having connected the parts together through the holes, we clamp and process the contour.

Next, on a small circle along the axis of the holes, we make a cut with a width and depth of 2 mm

Separate the parts, process the ends and the contour with sandpaper. And varnish.

While the cheeks are dry, From a suitable tube, cut the workpiece to the height of the spool. They will need 2 pieces

We insert the tube into the spool.


I make a stud from a suitable screw or take a finished 32 mm long.


On the cheeks on both sides, coaxially with the holes, I attach the washers to the Super-Moment adhesive. Only 8 pieces.

I begin the assembly of the device (cage rack) by inserting a stud with a pre-screwed wing nut into one of the cheeks and a screw into the second hole of the cheek.

On the hairpin, I put on the spool and the second cheek. Accordingly, twist the second wing nut onto the stud. On the screw, a second spacer and a simple nut.
Such a design should be obtained.



4th step. How it works.
We take the spool and wind the thread. For the convenience and speed of filling, you can use various mechanisms. For example - a screwdriver or a drill.


I, for trial, did not reel a full spool.

We pull the rope, which we will cage. From experience - you need to pull it properly. We fix the end of the thread from the spool on the rope, you can use a needle or a knot. For the model, it is better to use Secunda glue. We bring the fixture so that the rope falls into the slot, while winding up the spool, if necessary. And we begin to rotate the cage (fixture) around the rope, adjusting the tension of the thread from the spool with gadgets with lamb. And following the thread, that would go without gaps on the rope.


At the end of the hardening, the thread must also be fixed.

That's it.

See, criticize, advise, ask.
Regards, Starp.

We used a different design in the manufacture of archery titties. simpler and more convenient .... to a reel of any standard ..... from tin from a can in the form of the letter "P" and a hole in the short side where the thread was passed ......

Good day, "respected" Chukchi with a catapult!
I am glad that this device made such an impression on you and you were able to leave your catapult and write us a poor couple of lines. From which we were able to learn your knowledge in scaling objects.
But, was it worth it to bother and strain yourself like that. After all, your thoughts are there with a catapult .............

Good day, dear Mitreich!
In my opinion, your idea is not bad when working with ropes constantly having one diameter and considerable length.
On ship models, the ropes have different diameters and are relatively short. For this, attention is needed constantly. Does it make sense to complicate the device in this case? I think everyone will decide for himself.
Thanks for the comment, best regards, Starp.

It is clear that the cage rack is pulled by a thread to the “rope”, but in order to exclude falling out, you can try to close the cuts for the “rope” with a cap bracket (something like a wing of a bicycle wheel)

Without this stray, life is boring and wretched. But this explanatory note can bring a lot of bright colors to collectors of models of summer cottages on a scale of 1: 100 000 with Alexander the Great sitting in it

Good day, Vita!
Yes, I agree to twist tedious and dreary, like this manually. But, in ship modeling, almost everything is so, everything is manual and sometimes under a microscope. You’ll sit down so tightly that enthusiasm does not come out of you and go.

I did something similar, for winding threads on a bobbin, from what it was, it turned out quite original. But always tired of manual work. Even tried to automate the process of winding threads on a bobbin. So now there is a desire to take a drill.
