It Works!


Holy Crap! This thing actually works! Mechanically it's sound. Of course I fully expect to have to tweak it for whorl size, but after using a bit of wire to make a nice sliding hook for the flyer, and another bit of wire(it's copper) to make an orifice hook. I totally managed to thread a "leader"(actually it's some string but don't burst my bubble), and it winds onto the bobbin :).

Yippee!
