The knob on the flat gear activates the springy wood piece that makes the "Pop" sound every 200 yards.arne97
BirdA.jpgNew and Improved125 viewsWeasel ( yarn winder) calibrated to make a "Pop" every 200 yards of yarn. The spinner then makes a knot in the yarn and continues to turn the weasel until all her yarn is measured.
I made this one with the gearbox as a birdhouse with a removable roof, so you could look at the works.
Entirely of tulip poplar, excepting gears. The hub is a turned section of tree limb. The dark wood is the pretty heartwood of the tulip tree,
The little Red Bird is cherry, of course.
Poly finish.
