I have not tried to set this rope walker up and make rope, but it seems as if all the parts are there but please check yourself and ask any questions you feel necessary. I believe these are fantastic for making model ship rigging ropes and rope for other model use. There is a little rust visible on some places. There are a couple of bends on one or two of the plates but nothing you would not expect on a used vintage item. I am including the instructions that were in the box when I bought it.
