It should keep you out of mischief for a few hours and allow Sue some peace and quiet!

Looks interesting ... would make a good WIP

Bit like you being sent away for a few days eh

John it will be a long slow WIP I'll see how it goes but a the Gentleman Woodworker who brought it over said "I told the lady you'd have it done by Wednesday"

Looks like an interesting project Ray. Make sure you post some pics at its completion.

Nathan.

That's quite a valuable piece there Ray. It warrants some careful research and thoughtful restoration to retain its value.

I will follow the WIP with interest.

Do I smell a hospital pass, Go Fletty!

WW to many its a piece of junk/firewood not in this household I'm afraid some quick googling last night brought up a couple of interesting links.

An identical wheel Spinning Fishwife: Name that wheel? (excuse me I'm having some home made Sang Cho Bow and left overs from last night)

Ok back, also this piece 3rd last wheel apparently a little newer. About Me

The wheel itself is original and brought out from Scotland by the owners mother/grandmother.

Personally I want to do a good repair rather than replace such as the tension adjustment handle/knob, the broken maiden tower. Realising that new may be better and quicker though.

I would like any in put you may have on the matter and your expert advise.

Nathan there could be two to view as Sue's eyes light up of course and "Can you make a copy????"

Will see what eventuates

aw shucks Pat .........
which reminds me, my invite to the shed warming seems to have been lost in the mail?
congratulations though, I know you have looked forward to this for a loooong time,

Fletty, been doodling in the shed today. I must get motivated to finish the inside fit out . . . one day. The Yellow Peril talks to me constantly . . . "Why finish that flat work, when I can spin up a lovely bowl . . . " It can be very persuasive

I'm still to hook up power to the shed

Peddling that lathe will help you loose the extra pounds you put on with the chocolate stash while you were going there and driving home from Kiewa Pat.

Pat stay of Marfia Wars and you'll have the shed done by next weekend.
