REPAIRING AN ANTIQUE SPINNING WHEEL

  • by

My customer delivered a family heirloom in pieces with several broken pieces. She guessed it was more than 150 years old and wanted very much to put it on display in her home. With some effort and creativity, the broken pieces were repaired allowing the spinning where to be reassembled and spin again.
