Getting Back into Turning

I recently got into tuning when a friend of ours ask a bout a spinning-wheel she inherited. It was missing the working mechanisms. so I researched the history of this antique spinning-wheel. It was missing the upright distaff as well as the spindles that led to it. One of the upright spindles that held the flywheel needed repair. Also one of the pully wheels was missing. So to getting into spinning was rewarding and fun. Which led me to my next project and that was to make a milk can that was missing from this toy. I've had this toy milk truck since I was, O so young. It has put on miles with my children and now grandchildren. So I decided to make 6 more milk cans and make a carrier. The company has long since gone out of business. So I've included pictures of both projects. The video on this site have been a great help.Spinning Wheel Parts 2.jpgSpinning Wheel Parts Assembled.jpgMilk Truck & Bottles.jpgstart of Milk Bottles Unfinished.jpg
