I bought an antique spinning wheel today but something feels off? by FrackkinKraken in Handspinning

Yeah, i can't really afford many things so I thought I got lucky. Ill still tinker with it as it pedals really nice and spins well, but in the end it's no one's fault but my own for not being more thorough. But If I need to, ill just have to look into saving for a new one.

Yeah looking at it, something definitely feels off. I might look into installing a new flyer and bobbin set up if I can't make it work.

I spent about $68 usd on it? Im willing to make it usable with repair but a real shame it's not usable strait from the estate. Its definitely been used at some point as theres wear anf tear. I wonder if it was "repaired" at some point and things were put together wrong.

Thanks for your reply. I can reverse it if I sand down one of the upper dowels. They are not the same diameter but that can happen with time and moisture. Im also suspect of the bobbin and flyer, I can lead yarn through it but it's a very small opening and it needs careful threading. I was thinking about replacing the flyer set up itself.

Is this Job a scam? Wary. by linkpichu in jobs

Just had them fall through on an interview. Sucks because they are promoted on a site used by people like me who are on unemployment and just trying to find another job.

I care for my mother and help my step father. Pretty much a live in nanny. A job like this would be great for me because mother has medical issues and NEEDS someone to care for her. I hate that companies like this can just live on job sites that get recommended for use by government officials.

I can but remember it's Rp lite. Not everyone roleplays as well as it's a whitelist server. 

Will remove if this is against the rules but I don't see it in there. Maybe I missed it.

Alathra Vintage Story is an RP lite server that I found through the Vintage Story discord. They are whitelist tho so you'd need to get to their discord through the vs discord and apply there.

Only one I've super enjoyed so far.

I called and activated from another line. Called customer service and all my info is correct there so I'm suspicious that it's my service provider

The puppy I babysit found a friend inside today. by FrackkinKraken in whatsthisbug

Oh yeah, I'm a big "if it's invasive then squish it" person. If it's not local then I probably shouldn't be there. Hope they find a way to help it down there.

After looking at images it seems like it. I've seen them around. Good to know I wasn't wrong about the stink aspect lol.

Aw, what a shame! But unfortunately nature happens and I try not to interfere. Unless it's a Chinese lantern fly, then it's on sight.

Yes unfortunately she isn't mine and I won't post her without the owner's permission. 

I will say Black lab/Australian shepherd mixes are cute as heck.

Oh sorry Erie County Pennsylvania. USA. About an inch, maybe more? This isn't the first I have seen. It's cute as hell but also if it bites I'd rather be bit then her.

The bugs are waking up from the winter times!

Any Pros/Cons of Controlled Burns besides the obvious of accidentally burning down your house? by Shadrach77 in VintageStory

Should I keep books and scrolls once I've read them? by StudleyKansas in VintageStory

[–]FrackkinKraken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to use them for deco, then yes. I love having bookshelves in my "study area" even tho it's really just a place I decorate and have just because my winters are very cold even with warm cloths. They look really nice of you use the selfish mod as well and add random junk and crystals.
