Spinning on a Dime
you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby round-round-round...couldn't resist, it's just a test of the template anyway.

LMAO cause at a forum I made it sound like building a spinning wheel is a piece of cake, when I know better.

Okay, on to more pressing issues with the wheel. Still LMAO cause I totally was giving myself more work than necessary. 3-4 layers of acrylic sheet makes a very nice rigid board(not unlike when working with 2x4's. So why then, was I trying to cut perfect long pieces * like 100 when I could just use the perfect long boards and make adjustments with little squares on the ends of the boards? Cause I'm apparently an idiot! That's why.

Bought extra glue today. It's not gorilla glue. I promised myself I'd get Gorilla glue, then I got to the store and Elmer's makes a professional grade glue, that's described as the strongest of it's kind, and with directions that read exactly like the ones on Gorilla glue + it even looks the same! So it costs a buck less and if I read correctly can handle up to 4,000lbs so woohoo! I'm all stocked up, though the one that welds works well, but the Elmer's is waterproof, and I'm thinking that will come in handy :D

Glue btw is da bomb! Greatest invention since the wheel :)

Still giddy from yesterday and making the crank/footman work.

I'm gonna be spinning by Tuesday I can feel it. So taking a big step backwards, and speaking like and engineer, I'm gonna be spinning by this time next month! :D
