Originally this housed a very expensive bottle of scotch. Gessoed and waiting for inspiration. Once done it will be an attractive way to carry my drop spindles on the plane.

My new spindle from Butterflygirl Designs arrived this week. The whorl is made from polymer clay, and v.light so I can spin laceweight yarns on it, yay!

§P¡NdLe is a [project|object] that [combines|confuses] skateboarding with music. The [movement/acceleration] of the skateboard is being transformed into sound synthesis. The sound engine is designed to be both, trivial and non-trivial. The [trivial|direct] translation acts as an additional channel to your mind-body coordination while the non-trivial aspect is there to provide the skateboard with a [memory|internal states] of your ride. It will add up to a climax as long as the movement of the skateboard does not contain too much noise.

The rarest and grandest of the early turned chairs are those with rows of spindles below the seat as well as above it. Although its boxlike form may look simple at first glance, this chair is a complex composition with subtle variations in the shaping of the rungs and in the spacing of its horizontal and vertical members.

Hubby gave me roses for last Valentine with a vase. Knowing me, he knew I would use something for the vase for my hobby. He didn't think I'd use it for this. I thought this works wonderfully!

I'm not satisfied with this composition/depth of field exercise. Will have to try again, once we have some sun!

Spindle, dis-assembled. The parts are arranged along a horizontal axis. There are two rows. The top row shows the main spindle and the body that it fits into. The bottom row shows the 6mm internal shaft. The arrangement shows the items that would be on top (during operation) on the left. Note the spring loading on the 6mm shaft. Is this the drawbar? I also discovered (after disassembly) that this inner shaft is threaded on the "business" end (right hand side, or "bottom" end.) This 6mm shaft has been broken off at this threaded end. Perhaps why the spindle was removed from its machine and discarded? I note the threads are also 1mm. Could this be the drawbar? What collet sizes would fit on such a threaded shaft?
