That helped a lot! I have one as if thus weekend. It was missing pegs in the drive wheel support and the wood looked like it has been worn down inside. Knowing nothing i took new belt leather and cut pieces to cushion the axle and protect the wood. I also used leather pieces as pegs. The wheel spins pretty straight now. The bobbin chatters awfully. So a washer will definitely help! My tension system is a different cast iron assembly but it is very loose so i put leather against the wood inside the assembly. Now to find the sweet spot fir spinning!

Glad it helped. GW and CpW are such fun to spin. Happy spinning

Thank you for another helpful video. The timing could not be better, since I purchased a Philias Cadorette wheel just a couple of days ago. When I got my wheel, the bobbin was not spinning freely, and when I took it off the flyer, there was a sticky residue on the flyer shaft. Removing this residue solved the problem and I just put some sewing machine oil as a lubricant, as this is what I read from other sources. I wonder if old Vaseline is left to sit the flyer shaft, could this become sticky???

[@valeriegaddis5973]

Not sticky but needs wiped off and reapplied. Sewing machine oil is fine but it lacks the viscosity I desire. An alternative might be gun oil like Hoppes or Remington. Put a bit where the bobbin meets the whorl also.

My husband found a CPW Tile Tension wheel on Facebook market place. It came with one bobbin but the bobbin does not fit properly in the flyer. Do you have advice about finding a replacement bobbin.

[@valeriegaddis5973]

@@shannontemple6716 is it too big or too small? If a replacement is needed check with Spiritwood Spinning Wheel repair in Iowa or many others. If on Facebook the Antique Wheel group or Ravelry CPW group can advise. While on Ravelry, please be sure and buy the pdf downloads of history and makers. Congratulations! They’re sweet wheels.
