This is my home-made drop spindle, its 50g 12 inches long and made from bits I found around the house.
I went to Lowes and found all the pieces (except for the skate bearing) to build my own Kick Spindle. Its a kind of supported Spindle for spinning wool. I'm so happy with it. What do you think??
Four "fruits" seen yesterday on the New Year Plant Hunt, although snowberries can't be eaten, I don't think I'd trust the others either.
The blackberry wasn't quite ripe, and little chance of it ripening.
There was a whole stretch of laneside vegetation that was just spindle full of berries. A wonderful combination of green and red.
Picture now replaced. Thanks Mark.
Looking like a squadron of flying saucers, these A2-5 spindle shafts will soon be assembled with bearings and spacers to create complete spindles for Haas ST-10 turning centers. The shafts are turned from bar stock on a Haas SL-40L Long Bed turning center – equipped with live tooling and C axis – in one of the many robotic cells at the Haas Automation factory in California.
Another respectable German manufacturer with fairly wide field of view and average optics. Performance well down on a Zeiss Jenoptem but well built and fairly light weight for their size.
Usable with Spectacles =No

This is a WIP shot of some spindle spun yarn from one of my first dyed roving, Rosie, and spun on one of my handmade drop spindles.
Rows of 40-taper inline direct-drive spindles await their chance to become the business end of a Haas VMC.
The Haas inline system couples the spindle directly to the motor for vibration-free, extremely quiet operation. The precision couplers, shown here, ensure proper alignment of the system, and allow precise balancing for high-speed operation.
A row of spindle shafts for Haas ST-20 lathes are prepared for final assembly into the spindle housings. All Haas spindles – for lathes and mills – are assembled in a temperature-controlled clean room to ensure the utmost quality and reliability.
This Haas-built 40-taper spindle is fully tested and ready for the production floor, or to go into service stock. The red plastic cover protects the drive dogs and spindle bearings from damage during shipping and simplifies installation, ensuring long and reliable service life.
These precision-machined spindle-motor mounting plates are fresh off one of the many Haas EC-400PP pallet-pool machining centers in the Haas Automation machine shop. The EC-400PP can machine six multi-sided pallets (tombstones) without operator attention. These plates will be assembled to Haas 40-taper spindles for use in a variety of Haas products.
These high-precision spindles for Haas HRT450 rotary tables are being assembled with aluminum-bronze worm gear blanks, before heading to the CNC gear hobber. Each spindle will be trammed-in on the hobber to a maximum 2-micron runout before the worm gear is cut. Cutting the worm gear after it’s assembled to the spindle shaft ensures perfect concentricity of the gear pitch diameter to the bearing journals and the spindle axis. The finished assemblies are then inspected on a Wenzel WGT500 CNC gear analyzer.
A Golding Ring spindle which is also my first spindle. It was their learn to spin kit from thier website. The spindle is a tsunami and it is about 1.9 0unces
Hand-crafted pine frame with spindles and "bed springs." Bed is painted off white. Mattress and pillow are filled with real down feathers. 1-inch scale.
These 50-taper spindle housings are fresh off a robotically loaded turning center in the Haas machine shop. The housings start out as iron castings, which are robotically loaded into a turning center for facing, and turning the OD and ID. The housings are rough turned on Haas SL-40s, and then moved to a three-up fixture on a horizontal machining center to put in the bolt circle and the features for the lubrication system. The housings then go back into Haas SL-40s to finish the face and bores to size.
Spinning your own yarn is lots of fun and very relaxing after a hectic day!
This spindle would make a great gift for a spinner friend or a real treat for yourself!
Whether you are just learning to spin, or are already an experienced spinner, you will have many happy hours working with this bright and cheerful spindle.
Being of Russian background myself, I love the Russian traditional painting style called 'Khokhloma'.The folk art on this spindle was inspired by Khokhloma. This remarkable Russian decorative craft dates back to the 17th century and gets its name from the Volga trade settlement village of Khokhloma.
Khokhloma is an original Russian folk art, a unique expression of national culture, and this contributes to its growing popularity. Khokhloma gets its bright, happy character from a distinctive matching of scarlet, black and gold.
I painted this spindle using top quality acrylic paints over a maple base that was beautifully handcrafted by Joshua Lynch of TexasJeans. This spindle has been tested and balanced for the best spinning performance. I have coated it with several coats of gloss varnish for that extra shine and durability.
