Old Rope Salvage Films


About 2 years ago we decided to make a few videos for fun and post them up on You Tube. Well, they went down really well and we really enjoyed creating them, so 2 years later we are back making them again, only this time we are a little more organised ...
Join us for our new, ongoing series as we set up our workshop and set about building ourselves a Tiny off-grid Home-on-Wheels   from the remains of a 1975 Bedford Firetruck. We promise it will be mayhem.

You can watch a new film on here every 2 weeks (or so) or join us on our You Tube channel where you can subscribe, comment and never miss a video.

In this week's episode, we also have news on the status of our long-anticipated electricity supply.
