Subject: MtMan-List: Spinning wheel

Sun, 18 Apr 1999 Dennis Mountjoy wrote

My wife just acquired a spinning wheel this weekend at an estate auction.
Now she wants to learn to use it properly.  Does anyone on the list have a
recommendation on references on the use of a spinning wheel?  She asked _me_
, and I sure can't help.  Thanks

Dennis Mountjoy

Dennis:

What kind of wheel?  Where do you folks live; I can look in the Spin-off
directory of guilds to find one nearest you.  Spinners are always happy to
help new spinners learn the craft.  Your wife would be well off to at least
visit a spinning guild nearby at least once or twice to find out what she
has and if it is in working order.

My favorite "learn to spin" book is "The Ashford Book of Spinning" by Anne
Field.  While the book deals specifically with the Ashford wheels, the
techniques are universal.

I would be happy to try to answer questions and help your wife get started.
I have been spinning for more than 20 years and recently have found
demonstration spining at rendezvous a lot of fun.  Let me know.

Our local city stopped me in the bank and ask me if I would put on a
rendezvous here in our area.  With a lot of the asking and work on both parts
we are going to have our first annual rendezvous at historic dripping
springs.  Drippings Springs according to my Okla. History book was an
intertribal peace ground, a place of healing.  Well, now it's covered by a
lake and our rendezvous will be on its shores.  The area is remold but has
good road access, via a closed county road that will be reopened just for us.
 Within a short distance through the fields and woods there are hot showers.
Our dates are Nov. 11 - 14, 1999  early set up can be done.  If anyone is
interested contact me off the list at [e-mail]

Ay, sir, but a test from the Pendleton may well be something to get alarmed
about!

Dare I say <BG> after that night spent last weekend listening to the howls
and laughter from a certain camp within earshot...

Mayhap in the future, sir, I may well lighten up and not be so averse to
joining in the fray. Was my first rendezvous in many a year, but I think not
my last, seeing as how I now have a staked out campsite to clean and new
gear of a sorts to purchase. The ground there, though it be sand, is still

Good Day

I am sitting here looking at a mid 19th century halter (from an old

hardware appears to be iron, not brass.  The crown piece, cheek piece and
throat latch are connected at their intersection with a iron ring, the
nose band is also connected to the cheek piece with an iron ring at it's
intersection. Iron buckles (no roller) are attached to the lower nose band
and the crown piece to make it adjustable for size.  The throat latch does
not appear adjustable.  The piece that runs from the throat latch to the
lower noseband is partially obscured, with only the portion under the chin
visible... with a large ring to attach to picket lines or what have you.

Randy,

Thanks for the info on the American Rendezvous Magazine and headstalls.  I
have every issue and I'm going to look up the article.  Another book that I
have picked up that has some good stuff is called "Western Tack Tips" by Tom
Hall.  Another Brother got it at a tack store and although it has some
modern stuff, it also has some good stuff on how to make old style
hackamore's.  I have some period correct stuff made with leather and brass
made by Marty Deushane and if anyone wants his # and address, I'd be happy
to provide it.

What I was wondering from reading the original post by John Funk was, where
you talking about headstalls or halters?  Sounds more like halters.  If that
is the case, then they could be made of cotton rope much like modern ones in
tack stores made of nylon rope.

Best Regards,

Jerry (Meriwether) Zaslow #1488

I have used household bleach, diluted in water, and left to set a day,
stirring often.  This process removed all of the color of leather dyed
lightly.  It came out a grayish white.  But I don't know what the result
would be with a dark maroon dye, so you might want to test a little first.

Some may say the bleach ruins the leather, but I did not find that true.  I
think I put in about a cup of bleach in one gallon.

Randy,

I'd be most interested in a copy of the article "Headstalls and Adjustments
Without Buckles".  I appreciate your efforts.

For what it's worth, I have several pieces of  "The Tin Man's" work
in both tin and copper.  My wife has one his small coffee pots in
copper that she uses for brewing her tea.  His prices are better than
most, and his products quality is well above what is normally seen at
rendezvou.  He says he will build any tin ware to your specifications,
give him a sketch and he will give it a shot.  I paid $60.00 for my
wifes copper pot which I think I got the best of the deal.  I will
without a doubt do business with him again!!!
Respectfully,
C Webb
