If you are the same Niddy Noddy that sells on Etsy I just bought a medieval spindle stick to use with a medieval whorl that my dad found with a metal detector. It spins fantastically and I will be back for more. I might treat myself to one of these too.

Nice turning but that lathe seens annoyingly noisy.

What are these used for? I like to make similar looking pieces, but I use them to stir iced tea and lemonade. They look like "wands" but you seem to have something more important in mind than a silly magic wand. Nice work, I'll be looking for your new videos! Good luck with your channel 👍

It's a reproduction of a Viking Age tool (a Distaff) that was used to hold fibre (wool) during the hand spinning process. Every Viking woman would have had one, or many.

nice work - just curious - why do you put your left hand behind the stock & why do you only hold the chisel/gouge with 1 hand ? Seems like a very advanced technique - I'd be afraid to try it ... thanks !!

At those lengths with those diameters it's necessary to support the work, otherwise it would flex and vibrate itself to destruction. I'm supporting the work with the fingers of my left hand and holding the tool with my right hand but my left thumb is also helping to control the tool. I don't think it's a technique that you'll see taught anywhere. It is very sketchy but for my needs it's efficient and it works. 😊

It's pretty common with spindle turning, in lieu of a steady rest. Long skinny stuff is pretty safe to support with your hand, I wouldn't do it on anything bigger than an inch in diameter.

Cool turning techniques. Never seen some of them before. I have a project coming up that may want one of them. Thanks!

what is it for a spinning wheel

It's a stand alone whorl-less hand spindle. A reproduction in the French style, in this case. There are many styles and they originate in pre-history. They predate the spinning wheel but do the same job.

Great video. You have solved a problem for me when you used the spanners as a sizing tool rather than an adapted cutting tool. Found you from a FB post my Mike, Dances with Aardvarks. I have subbed and hit the bell and looking forward to watching your other videos already posted and future videos as well. Take care. Cheers, Huw

The other good thing about spanners is that they are slightly over the size stated on them and so they leave some room for sanding. Thanks for the sub. :)

Very nice. It's nice to see production turning with no commentary as I find it easier to concentrate on the technique. How was the spindle mounted at the headstock? I couldn't figure it out from the video.

It's a 21mm Axminster Prodrive. I'm essentially just turning between centres so any kind of drive centre at the headstock end would do.

Very nice work. Was that an Axminster Junior chuck? It looks very handy for this kind of spindle turning.
