Deck rope coiler
It was suggested that I put this jig for coiling ropes to be placed on the deck in this forum so here it is.
I use a mandrel from my Dremel kit and a 1" cut off wheel. Add a plastic disk about the same diameter as the wheel and you have a rope coiller. Be sure to place the mandrel washer between the disks to allow space for the line. I've included some photos, hope it comes in handy. Pete  (open in a blank window)

Re: Deck rope coiler
Two other notes I just thought of. Put a little diluted white glue (I like Titebond Molding & Trim) in a tray and dip your thumb and forfinger in it now & then as you let the line slip through your fingers.
Also, bevel the edge of the plastic disk a little. That will allow the line to flow into the disks more easily. Pete
