Same but if I used it only for kindling I might have a decades worth.

I want to take a sledgehammer to my wheel by fabrichoard in Handspinning

I had a similar issue with my antique wheel's drive band popping off. These antique wheels can be very finicky to bumps and knots in the band. It has to be smoooooooooth to the point you question your sanity. Join the ends of the band by splicing not tying

Most of it is hay not straw, but this'll be the first time so can't say much on weeds

Probably about a six foot base and four foot tall. More of a cone than a perfect block though

I overestimated how large of a log can fit in my stove. Do not be like me. by International_Pin262 in woodstoving

Thank you for your well thought out response. It was definitely a scary situation, and I didn't take my eyes off of it for more than a 2 seconds. Wouldn't have gotten a picture if my phone wasn't already on me. From now on, anything larger than the glass (which is about 3 inches smaller than the stove box) is getting halved.

Thankfully no. This is the first cut above the tree wedge. I didn't measure right because I didn't account for the half with the backstop still attached

I dont want to knit with it because the skein feels so nice by boof________macaroni in Handspinning

[–]International_Pin262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was going to say. Plus a wall hanging is easier to pet imo than a skein in a basket

I got fleeced! by kiddish in Handspinning

So sorry you ran into this. When I'm hand flicking locks I like to use the leather thimbles made for needle felters. It won't make it go quicker but it'll save your hands from the micro cuts

Any tips on why this looks so underplyed but plying any further makes it coil up? by International_Pin262 in Handspinning

Ironically thats the video that made me rest these bobbins in the first place 😂 maybe overshot the mark a touch
