    Ian, thank you, all the pointers I can get will help. I will do a dry run first and see how I go.

    The photos nicely show what I meant by using springs. Some turners prefer to use a small hook of bent wire instead, onto which they slip small nuts/washers/etc as weights to get the tension they want.
    Yep, got the springs too, so will try winding it up this weekend.

    i bought a reel of brickies string, so hopefully that will work.

    All done and ready to use. The design was inspired by Stephen Ogle from YouTube. Wheels generously supplied by Smiife, thanks Michael. I did however swap out the original bearings for a set of high speed bearings I had laying around.

    All systems go. Now just got to wait for the lathe to come back.
