Guide to making rope with a ropewalk

Does anyone know of a book, guide or article on the intricacies of making scale rope with a ropewalk?

So far I’m just searching and picking up tid bits from here and there but it would be nice to have a bible so to speak.

Thanks in advance

There’s the article on the Ships of Scale forum describing making scale ships’ rope, a YouTube video on making scale rope with a Syren ropewalk, and another on making scale rope with a Romanov ropewalk. Of the three, the first link shows the process of building the hardware for the ropewalk, so you might be able to make your own from it; the other two are about using commercially-available scale ropewalks.

I’ve already made my own ropewalk but that SOS article has a lot of good building and material info, thank you.
