Love this thing.
Hand spindle crank for 9x20 lathe showing some detail of the angled cut of the center drilled round stock.
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.
That's the spindle that got everything else started. It's the first spindle I've ever purchased and it came with a little bag of pastel colored wool.
It's probably made out of beech wood and weighs about 50 grams.
A spindle kate made out of tinker toys. The bottom needs more weight since it tended to move towards the bobbin winder as I was winding. It's a super fast way to get singles off a spindle and onto a bobbin while maintaining tension on the singles.

I love this spindle! My first one from The Spanish Peacock and it won't be the last! It has a little bit of Butterfly Girl Designs' Tuscany that tore off from another bit of spinning I was doing. The whorl is "flame" box alder and the shaft is bloodwood.
Whorl: 5"
Shaft: 10 1/4"
Weight: 1.1 oz

I made this spindle from oak wood, on my lathe.
The wood comes from ancient wine vessels from Bordeaux, France.
When I turn the spindles out of the wood it smells like a vinary ;-))
This specific spindles is featherweight: weighing not even 16 gramms - and with the amount of silk on it it counts 33 gramms.
The spinning hook is 2 mm , so you can see how lace weight the yarn is that I spun.
This is a new design for Grizzly Mountain Arts! Dave has crafted the beautiful 1 7/8 inch acorn whorl of this support spindle from poplar. Pyrography, burn etching, was used to create the details on the acorn's cap. The 11 1/2 inch long shaft was created from walnut and the weight of this spindle in 51 grams (1.8 ounces).
