This customer inspired spindle is one that I am quite proud of, and it is the most challenging spindle I've made to date - and it spins forever - like no other! The centerpiece of this spindle is a movie inspired gold plated stainless steel [the~one] ring with glow-in-the-dark lettering that looks like it came right out of the fire. The whorl for this spindle is made from two acrylic discs and two black anodized aluminum discs with a Mexico 1-Peso Coin laminated in the center, The whorl is adorned with the ring mounted on top with a fire-eye print mounted within the ring - then filled with slow cure epoxy resin, and the bottom side of the whorl is adorned with a smaller diameter acrylic disc with 36 Black Diamond and Clear Preciosa (Czech) crystal rhinestones, a black painted and filled with white mica epoxy Tree-of-Life pendant that is also coated in a thick layer of slow cure epoxy resin and finished off with a silver plated finding around the shaft. These components are mounted to a Cosmic Starlight Black powder-coat-painted steel shaft with a heat forged hook and all components are assembled with 2-part epoxy adhesive.
This is one of the longest spinning spindles I've made and it has the heft to spin a wide variety of short and fine longer staple fibers.
