OT--Yet another spinner
This is a very early style called a Indian Head spinning wheel, why i don`t have a clue.
It has a Indian head drive on it so now i`ve built all three drive designs.
Thanks.

Great work, Pitchy!
That is like the one I have wanted to build for years and saved a steel wheel barrow wheel for.

Pitchy,
Rangerider7 has his Texas museum in his home. If you are not careful you'll have an early Americana museum in yours.
That is one heck of a spinning wheel. I like it. Now, considering it's mostly wood, what's the oil can for?

Re: OT--Yet another spinner
Hey Joe.. Ever see a fire started by a guy spinning a stick between his palms thats pressed against another piece of wood?... You know.. Like the survivor man types all do... Pitchy's oil will keep the friction down so there's no flare ups...

Re: OT--Yet another spinner
Looks cool, I really like the shape of that one. When the topic said another spinner, my mind thought of spinning targets or a small chick, must be the old biker in me. Did you fix the gong you broke with the 86?.
Re: OT--Yet another spinner
You continue to outdo your previous work of art with the next work of fine art.
Re: OT--Yet another spinner
Thanks its been fun but i`m running out of floor space with 11 of them.
Naw haven`t got around to fixin the gong yet but should soon i reckon.

Yeah, I understand that. With all the work you put into them it would be like trying to decide which favorite rifle to get rid of.Pitchy wrote:Problem is i wouldn`t know which one i`d want to get rid of.J Miller wrote:Well .............. my wife has commented many times she'd love to have one.

Another good job, Pitchy! Looks to me like you're trying to become your own force in the textile business. Pitchy's Patches?

A little learned info for anyone interested in building one.
I`ve geared these down so they twist real slow by by putting bigger flyer or bobbin pulleys on them.
A standard old spinning wheel can be geard at a ratio of 20-1 because them people were serious about making a lot of yarn. This wheel is geared at 3-1 and is fun to spin on and relaxing. A higher geared one will twist so fast and try and pull the yarn out of your hand.
I made a new brake knob today that is easier to reach, the other one was two close to the flyer and would hit my knuckles if not careful.
The brake is used to slow the speed of the flyer rotation so the yarn is drawn onto the bobbin on this style. The other ones the brake is on the bobbin.

Re: OT--Yet another spinner
Hey Pitchy,that's another real nice piece of work but where are you getting all the wool from? Do you know a local Sheepherder?
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
Re: OT--Yet another spinner
Been buying on line from Paridise fibers in Washington for the wool, some friends raise llamas and gave us a bunch of they`er fleeces.game keeper wrote:Hey Pitchy,that's another real nice piece of work but where are you getting all the wool from? Do you know a local Sheepherder?
