Placement of an extra small driveband is all that is needed to increase ratios over 15:1.

  • 26 Custom sealed ball bearings (you'll never have to oil parts)
  • Wide, comfortable heel-toe double treadles

"Gigi's" Wheel

The "sun burst" motif for this wheel was designed entirely by the customer.

This is a lower priced wheel without carving, but has all the fine mechanics and engineering as any of our Triple Flyer spinning wheels.

"Star" Wheel
Walnut

This wheel is a good example of collaboration between Tom and the customer. Working together, they came up with a "Star" motif for the wheel. It was built as a lower priced wheel without the carving.

"Pinscher" Wheel
