the wheel is turning and it can’t slow down, you can’t go back and you can’t stand still….
it has taken a few weeks for the idea of our home made espinner to come to a 3 dimensional object.
we used the motor out of my old cast iron Morse sewing machine, and the jumbo flyer that i picked up used.
it goes sooooooooo fast.
i won’t be able to spin anything bigger than sport weight on it, or ply.
but that was why i wanted it in the first place.
i haven’t tested it out yet, we are still working on the brake/tension aspects.
the downside to all of this, i haven’t gotten anything done today because my flyer is in use. i guess i could always switch over to one of the normal sized ones… but, right now i’m that lazy.
all i feel like doing is brewing up some iced tea and eating the pound of hummus i made.
