SPINNING WHEEL-CONSOLE

SPINNING WHEEL CONSOLEOffer the readers of the magazine the console for manual spinning, which is complete with a household sewing machine with foot or electric drive performs the role of an ancient spinning wheel. It gives the opportunity to use odnoimennyi drive sewing machine to transfer one-way and multi-speed rotation of the stag and the coil that is essential to the operation of any spinning wheels.
Consoles are made to the sewing machine “Chaika-3”; however, no alterations in design are not needed. Only under a shelf on which is mounted a sewing head, there is a need to set deflection roller — wooden spool from under the thread. Coil and pulleys — wood. The stag is cut from plywood with a thickness of 18-20 mm. Preferably oak or birch. If the coil and the pulleys run from light alloys, the need for the washers and screws from the coil disappears and the drive pulley screws must be replaced by screws. As a drive belt I use a harness from a children’s skipping ropes.
