Cherry wood 26" spinning wheel handmade by Tom Siske in 1988. Tom is a master wood craftsman and his spinning wheels are prized among spinners who own or are familiar with them. This is not a spinning wheel for beginners, but if you're experienced and want a wheel that produces fine to thick yarns, and does a great job while at it, this is for you. It is very smooth, and I have personally spun yarn almost as fine as thread on this wheel. With almost 20 years of age, it has a few small dings that are barely noticeable, but that means it has been used and except for those, it is in great condition. It has one whorl that came with it and that's the only one I have used, but you could have another whorl made if you wanted. It includes seven bobbins. There is no lazy kate because it didn't come with one. You can make your own lazy kate, have one made to match the wheel, or keep the bobbins in a basket like I do. Comparable handmade wheel by a master woodworker would be $1,700 plus. My price is $1,200.

Beka 60" Weaving Width 8 harness 10 treadle cherry loom, includes texsolv tie-up cords, 1000 new flat steel heddles, one reed, one boat shuttle and bobbins, tool tray, bench (not cherry), sectional beam not included. Similar loom over $5000 new, my price is $2500.

Motorized Pottery Wheel. Handmade by an engineer who is also a potter. Works great. $700 pickup only. Heavy, needs two people to move it.
