Understanding

the

Spinning Wheel

This is a long awaited book Authored by Eric Corran, a man skilled in engineering, with a lifetime love of woodcraft & working with with his hands, has at last, in response to the many requests he has received from Hand Spinners & Wood Craft Artisans from around the world, share with them his extensive knowledge of the craft of Making, Maintaining & Understanding the complexities of the Hand Spinning Wheel so that the craft could be carried on by both the professional & amateur artisans.

Eric & his son Russ designed & manufactured thousands of Spinning Wheels under the "SHERIDAN" brand between 1965 & 1982, with 7# models of wheels in the range. They both enjoyed the challenge of restoring old & antique wheels of which they did many for spinners world wide. The Wheel pictured on the cover is one example of their unique skills.

The book contains 25# chapters that cover from the first conceptual design of a spinning & spooling machine as visualised & drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1450AD, though to a complete set of plans that will enable the reader to construct their own spinning wheel with only a moderate level of wood working ability and moderate wood working machinery requirements, resulting in the production of a spinning wheel that will look aesthetically appealing for the user & will function correctly.

The book has also been written with the Hand Spinner in mind, to provide a broader understanding  of the HOW & WHY a spinning wheel works & should work. It outlines the importance of the ratios between the Drive wheel, Flyer & Bobbins (Spools), & the relationship that they have to the amount of twist introduced into a given yarn which dictates the softness & strength of it. The spinner will also be able to trouble shoot, pinpoint problems & correctly maintain their wheels
