It has been a busy, fairly productive day.

Both of my drop spindles are broken, both where the shaft meets the disc. Both seem to have been broken from being sat upon by children, both have been repaired by me already and have been broken again. I think they are going to need a metal pin or something to reinforce the breaks; simply gluing them with wood glue has not provided enough strength to hold up. Meanwhile, I have all this wonderful fiber that I would love to spin! So......my daughter has a drop spindle......hmmm.....and she probably would not mind my using it.
