The details were similar I remember being fascinated by it and seeing the leather bearings and hinges as well as the other mechanical joints in wood really brought it all back.
Great job. When do you get your woollen jumper?

Thanks nickle glad it was good memories. As LOML has 3 wheels already been spinning for 25+ yrs I have had a few wooly jumpers, vests, leggin's, beanies, scarves ............however I have had to wait now for 3 yrs for a workshop vest :Doh:

Thanks vtsteam this was one of my main anguishes as having been involved with restorations of vehicles where the comments are always "how much is new how much is original?".
The resto here has 1 new leg it was missing, footman/treadle to badly damaged, connecting rod poor replacement previously , adjustment knob old one could possibly have been repaired as it was so worn easier to make the new one, the locating pins these were originally Hawthorn some missing others broke when removing them.

Excellent job.
My wife is trying to find a 'travelling' spinning wheel. She's made contact with a local spinning group and is intent on spinning some of the wool from her Jacobs sheep. Shearing is happening this coming Sunday if weather permits.

Hi Ginger Nut, thanks for posting the reply, I think there might be something wrong with the link as I am on Samsung tablet and as the page from the ling was loading it wiped all my pre set tabs that were open and went back to the home screen, all the tabs were gone and when I tried to load the page again it set the tablet back to home screen ? So I can not get to see the link but the section I did see looks very good. Can everyone else see it ok ?
Thanks Mick

I can open it, but the background image (sky and foliage) is so wide that even on my wide screen laptop I get sliders so I have to shift the whole page to see it all. Looks like the background image is a fixed (and too large) width. It should adjust to window size. Might be a blog template problem.
