Wee, little Turkish spindle from Jenkins Woodworking. Pictures can't really show how small this spindle really is. It's so freaking cute and still spins perfectly.
Whorl: Holly
Shaft: Apple
Weight: 10 grams
Size: 6 cm wing span, shaft 8.5 cm long
The peoples of the Northwest Coast spun the locally available wild mountain goat wool, which could then be made into the dance blankets called Chilkat blankets, and into woven burden straps. This spindle was made from the measurements of a spindle in the Canadian Museum of Civilization collected by Marius Barbeau in the 1920's. The whorl is birch wood 8.5 cm diameter, planed by my friend Stephen Tufford to 9mm thickness, and the shaft is 62 cm long, shaped from a hardwood dowel. Spinning is done in a roughly horizontal position by rolling the base of the shaft down the calf...reconstructed from several archival photos of Gitksan women spinning, with help from my friend Val Celuzak.
Golding Spindles are made in Vermont. They are a high quality spindle with great balance. Plus they are beautifly designedl They are works art! The whorl on this spindle was made in Tibet. This is a high whorl spindle, the hook is just below the whorl.

Hand spindle crank for 9x20 lathe wide shot of the hand crank installed into the spindle of a 9x20 lathe.
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.

"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.
