Cut 40cm (16in) off the
brake band. Tie one end
to the spring attached
to the screw eye and
the other to the second
27cm (10¾in)
spring so that you have
27cm (10¾in) between
the 2 springs (See side
of this page). Tie one
end of the surplus nylon
to the second spring,
and thread the other
end through the tension
knob and tie a knot. Trim
off surplus nylon.
Thread the screw eye
with the brake band
spring attached into the
hole in the front frame.
Apply a drop of oil to the
flyer spindle and slide
the bobbin on. Ashford
spinning oil is ideal for
this purpose. Thread the
flyer spindle into the
top shaft. Hold the flyer
whorl with one hand and
rotate the flyer clockwise
with the other. Tighten
firmly.
