Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus)
Often found as a shrub rather than a tree, although is capable of growing to 10 meters, this unusual hedgerow tree is usually overlooked by most, except during the autumn when it can produce these striking berries and autumn colours.
The name of the tree and has a fascinating etymology, and is rarely agreed upon.
In old herbals it is referred to as Skewerwood, Prickwood, Pincushion Shrub, gatter, gatten, or gadrose. The Spindle Tree name is the dutch name, and another common name is Robin's Bread.
The wood is very dense, and splits well, taking an incredibly sharp point - as such it was used as toothpicks, skewers, knitting needles, spindles for working wool (hence the Dutch name), and bird-cages. The high-quality charcoal is preferred by artists.
The Latin name Euonymus may be a reference to it's poisonous irritating natures, and links the plant with Euonyme, Mother of the Furies. www.mythindex.com/greek-mythology/E/Erinnyes.html
The berries contain theobromine and caffeine, as well as an extremely bitter terpene. Ingestion can result in liver and kidney damage and even death. The leaves can kill sheep. Apparently the berries, if boiled in water produce a yellow dye, but I haven't tried this.

"you turn on a spindle. you're so much looser now, but you're not explaining how you gained such new repose."
so i guess i finished this idea sooner than i had anticipated. this is a new series i want to try. it's called A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever and A Necklace, inspired by the song by Bright Eyes. i'm doing this because i really love that song, it's so inspiring and because Conor Oberst is the most amazing writer/lyricist to ever live. this is the first of the series.
this is my first time working with a separate texture. i'm not sure what i think of this. i can't wait until the rest, i have so many ideas.
12/28/09. Everything about this spindle reminds me of chocolate... I'm hungry just looking at it.
The length is 12 1/2 inches and it weighs 1.2 oz.
Our obscure '70s Taiwanese lathe had something that was... really close... to MT5 taper in the spindle... but was not MT5. So we bought a reamer and ran the motor belts hand-over-hand (that's a lot of cutter engagement). Not that fun.
The spindle tree adds a nice bit of colour to the ditch at this time of year, on the Grand Canal in Kildare
Dave has crafted the whorl of this elegant Tibetan supported spindle from chechen wood. Chechen is also known as Caribbean rosewood. The cherry shaft measures 11 1/2 inches long, and the weight of this beautiful handspinning tool is 50 grams.

That's a ball bearing assembly used as a speed knob for turning the hand crank with left hand.
Manually turning the lathe spindle for turning short sections of threads near a shoulder, where power threading may lead to a crash.
Shop-made project cold rolled steel and a cast aluminum handwheel locks into the spindle by carefully tightening the nut at the center of the handwheel.
I got the idea for this sort of locking joint when I recalled how my old bike handlebar stem was secured in the forks tube.
The consequences of a pedal spindle shearing at around 20mph and dumping me into a 10 yard slide. Took a wee while to extricate me from my entanglement with the bike, during which time not one fecker in a car stuck behind even wound down the window to check if I was okay. Not one. Nor when I scrambled out of the way and they slowly filtered past.
Fortunately I AM okay. But that's second off in two weeks. Last one was my stupidity, this one I couldn't even begin to imagine saving.
