Kick Spindle build a step further. Ball bearing housing attached to the base. The spindle dowel, with bun foot threaded through it, sits in the bearing. I'm holding up the other end. Next step will be to add a pillar onto the base. It'll have a hook for the spindle dowel to sit on.
spent last night and this morning on the installation of the Spindle Whorl, which was carved at the Power Smart Village by artist George Hemeon for BC Hydro during the Olympics and the Paralympics.
It is truly a magnificent work, which will adorn the wall of the Edmonds lobby.
The unveiling of this work will take place on June 21st, during National Aboriginal Day.

This is a Basalt Spindle Bomb. It is lava that was ejected from a Cinder Cone, and cooled and crystallized as it was flying through the air, which accounts for it shape. It came from Red Dome Cinder Cone in Utah's Black Rock Desert that erupted about 600 years ago! The youngest volcanic rock in the state. This Cinder Cone is now being used as a gravel pit for road construction. what a shame.

I custom requested a Japanese theme spindle through Dragoncraft www.dragoncraft.etsy.com because I really like Japanese culture and even want to live there
Spindle assembly. I did not remove the bottom bearing. It was firmly in place and I did not want to press it off. The bearings look to be in good shape.
Dave's signature leaf motif has been burn etched around the edges of the notched hard maple whorl of this beautiful drop spindle. The top of the whorl has been adorned with his rose and leaf motif. The overall length of this spindle is 9 inches, and it weights 1.3 ounces. A brass hook has been added to the purpleheart shaft.
After spinning yarn on a spinning wheel for close to 10 years now, I have never spun on a drop spindle. So I decided to pick one up at the LYS today and got some pink roving to give it a whirl. I'm hooked! Why didn't I spin on a drop spindle before? I'm waiting for my new kick wheel to arrive next week. Eeep!
Hedgerow Harvest
Beautiful pink and orange seed of the spindle. This was growing in a hedgerow by the M11 motorway. The people whizzing by had no idea of the parallel world beside them.
Maple spindle gall is the trees reaction to the mite insect (Vasates aceriscrumena). Spindles are a bit over 1/4" in length. The spindles begin green and turn red or tan as they age. Despite their dramatic appearance this is mostly a cosmetic issue and not a threat to tree health.
I like to think of the spindle in quadrants--corners between the cross arms. You can see them numbered in the photo. I tend to wind on clockwise when I'm spinning singles (Z twist) and counterclockwise when I'm plying (S twist).
Always start winding on from the bottom.
Step 1: Bring the yarn up in Corner #1
You can leave a tail hanging on the bottom (the start of the centerpull ball), but I find that it gets in the way when I really get my rhythm going, so I leave the end wrapped around the center, and when I take out the spindle pieces, I stick a finger in one of the side holes (where a cross bar used to be) and dig around until I can pull out the end. On really lucky days the hook on the shaft snags the very beginning of the yarn on its way through and retrieves it for me!
The fruit and seed of the Spindle bush. The fruit is a pink-red four- or five-valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds. The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Many species are used for medicinal use, and parts of the plants can be poisonous to humans (Wikipedia)
Hampstead Heath. 13 October 2012
My drop spindle arrived in the mail, just as lovely as I'd hoped. The whorl is inlaid maple, cherry, and walnut; the shaft is also walnut. The yarn in the background is bargain skeins ($3 each!) of a llama/wool blend from the Knitting Connection here in Syracuse. Nice little LYS, but it has absolutely nothing on Michigan's yarn stores.
Apparently you have to grow your own sheep in order to get wool around here. Fortunately, Etsy.com has come to my rescue and the mighty highway trucks are already bringing hand-dyed roving in vermilion and orange to me from Ishpeming, Michigan. Knitting and spinning supplies were something I took completely for granted, as there were plenty of sources in the A2 area. Not so much in Syracuse. Sigh.

A mitotic spindle lacks sufficient microtubules (green) and has trouble aligning kinetochores (red) in cells that lack a noncentrosomal microtubule nucleator called augmin. (JCB 181(3) TOC2)
