[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 191277, member: 12214"] 8-27-13: Spousal unit finally finished making the replacement flyer for my spinning wheel. Gary made it out of a solid piece of oak, unlike the original which was made from laminated wood. I used it this afternoon and my wheel works better than with the original flyer. No wobble or falling off. Below are a few photos of my new flyer. For those of you who may not be familiar with the components of a spinning wheel, the flyer is the U-shaped piece with all the cup hooks on it. It's the piece that guides the yarn onto the bobbin.
