Hello, I'm new and looking for help restoring a spinning wheel
Hello all,
I am not a woodworker (although I would love to learn), but I have a beautiful Sheridan Macarthur spinning wheel that is missing the foot pedal piece.
I am looking for any advice on where to get a new one or to get one made.
I did a search here and got some really old threads, so I thought I should start afresh rather than bump them
Any advice would be most welcome.
Off to have a browse of the forums now.

Hi spinderella, welcome to the forum. I can't help you myself but I have sent the link of this thread to someone who may be able to. So stay tuned.
Reality is no background music.
Cheers John

Thank you for your replies.
The Sheridan wheels were made in Melbourne until the mid 80's I believe.
Yes it is like the Ashford one.
Here is what it looks like;

G'day Spinderella and welcome to the fun house.
You have just found out why so many people love these forums. Enjoy your stay and while you are about it, see if you can get into some aspect of woodwork so you can spina different sort of magic.

Good you got some photo's up
As you can see from the photo I put up showing the treadle set up its not hard to make. Timber possibly used is Coachwood.
I'll pm Issatree a fellow off the forum to have a look at this thread he may help you if you don't want to make it yourself.
