New milkweed processing "Milking the Milk" (video added)
« on: August 15, 2013, 09:09:13 am »
I have developed another process for removing fibers different from the process I described in primitive Archer Magazine. I can not discribe the old process do to copywrite issues so I will only answer question about my new method. The old method is good and is valid. The new method creates a different type of structural integrity.
I call it "milking the milk method" this method removes a larger number of fibers from any given plant and creates a directional fiber bundle. The directional fiber bundle will eleminate tangled pre-reverse wrap strings. I am making a video tonight that will discribe the new method. This is going to be amazing for those of you who love milkweed!

How is it he constantly tries to regress to primitive technologies by developing modern/futuristic techniques?

Most definitely milking the milkweed - wonder if the good old boys of the past ever knew about that one.

Well done.

     Cool method! 8)  Did you come up with this, or did someone show you, did you find it some where?  Either way, thanks for sharing it. ;)

I needed some milkweed string for a project I was working on last week. I came up with this solution to milkweed harvested just a little early. There were not many plants that could be harvested early so I needed to get the most fibers from the few plants I had.
