Interesting to see a professional make one, My father made one years back and that was with basic stuff in the shed, it worked away as well. we are further down the country.

Thanks for the upload I just bought an spinning wheel from 1970-not very old but so precious!

Superb video. Wonderful education about the history of spinning in Ireland, and a good way to preserve the knowledge of spinning and spindle making. I enjoyed this so much. ☺☺

Danke vielmals für diesen sehr wertvollen Film. Hier sieht man extrem den Kontrast zwischen früher und heute. Ich bin dankbar, dass ich das alte Handwerks und das neue Handwerk lernen durfte. Natürlich sind heute nur mehr meine modernen Spinnräder gefragt. Hi und da drechsle ich jedoch noch eine Ziege.

I have an Irish made Saxony wheel from the 1890s she may be a little warped but she still works! I saved her from a charity shop.

Precioso trabajo, me encantó el paso a paso, la exactitud con la que trabaja, como todo encaja perfecto...el resultado es una hermosa rueca, que así se llama en Chile. Saludos cordiales.

A frantic piece of work

[@reginaromsey]

I have many friends who spin and weave as a hobby. A few have old wheels like the Donegal wheel, others have the new Ashford wheels.

Me encanto, es mi sueño tener algun dia una rueca , gracias... Merci

[@arimarley2103]

I would love to purchase one of his spinning wheels💜 Amazing thank you for sharing, is there a website where one can purchase?

[@marypage3147]

My maiden name was McGhee and we are so Irish and I am a spinner, also. I’m wonder if there is a connection. Would be so interesting as why I have so much fiber and so man wheels.

[@ngairemartin9753]

G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 I thoroughly enjoyed your fabulous skills. As a new spinner I loved how the bits and pieces are made with such skill. Thank you 😊

[@jessicag630]

How do they set the tension of that type of wheel?

[@busman2000]

I do so hope his Son passes on the skills to yet another if not his own son, or daughter.

One thing I've picked up from watching this series is tht didn't have a clue how dirty the ground is back then...so many things were put on the ground in the making of string n string products.thatnk the Lord for hygine advancements

[@userxyz64]

Are they handling food products? If not, what is your problem with the ground?

[@abdihassan6346]
