Re: Lendrum question

[Lynn & Terry Chapin]

I've been spinning on Lendrum wheels since the early '80s, when the 
wheels had a piece of steel cable instead of a footman.  Now I have a 
walnut dt, I love it!  I oil the bobbin shaft, the flyer shaft where it 
passes thru the maidens, and don't forget to put some oil on both sides 
of your treadle where the metal shaft enters the wood.  Also...on the dt 
wheel, you'll want to oil the shaft of the bar that connects the 2 
treadles.  Basically, I lubricate all the metal parts that rotate, 
except the wheel shaft itself, which is a sealed bearing.  You'll be 
amazed at how much easier it is to treadle your wheel after you 
lubricate the treadles!!
