• Obtain 3x Timber (0/3)
• Obtain 2x Round Timber (0/2)

Step 2

Craft the following at a Crafting Table and Smithy.

• Craft 1x Hand Crank Wheel (0/1)
• Craft 1x Rope Eye Plate (0/1)
• Craft 1x Catch Block (0/1)

Step 3

Place a Catch Block where you want your rope to start. You will need to place it so you have room to attach a Rope Drum to it. Next, attach a Rope Drum to the Catch Block. Finally, attach a Hand Crank Wheel to the other end of the Rope Drum. Attach the Rope Eye Plate to the object you want to pull. Use Basic Rope to connect the eye plate to the rope drum.

That's it. Use "Letter F" or Shift+Letter F to pull the rope in and out of the Rope Drum.
