This is a set of custom Tahkli Support Spindles that I made for a customer using donut shaped stones that she had made from a sediment stone that's found in Michigan near her home. She couldn't have been more happy with the results :-)

This is a custom made drop spindle that was made for a customer - using a coin that she sent in. The coin was quite small and challenging to fit onto a drop spindle and have it make sense being there, and I think I nailed this one pretty good!

I GLADLY ACCEPT CUSTOM REQUESTS! I had a customer request a Tahkli Support Spindle that would work with her severe metals allergy - so this spindle has the weighty coin encapsulated between two acrylic discs and it is mounted to one of my signature powder-coat-painted, heat forged hook, spring steel shafts. It worked perfectly for her!

This was a work in progress spindle that I made at the request of a customer. I should finish the design and offer it for sale some day - since it is absolutely lovely!

CUSTOM REQUESTS WELCOME! This is a spindle that I made for a customer who lives on the Isle of Mann. I acquired the coins and designed this support spindle for her - using her color choices for shaft and crystals.

This is a playful Steampunk design made from a vintage (circa 1930) Swiss Pocket Watch Dial - a work in progress image and a piece that eventually made it onto a drop spindle whorl. My customer loved it and my granddaughter even named the bear for her... now named "Spiral Rainbow Bear."

This support spindle was made using the pillar plate from a circa 1780 English Verge Fusee pocket watch movement, and it was the first one made like this. It is not an easy task to make well balanced spindles out of parts that are WAY OUT OF BALANCE and it takes a lot of time perfecting them, but the finished product is wonderful - in my opinion :-)

This is a close-up/side view image of a circa 1760 Verge Fusee Pocket Watch Movement. I am fascinated by the craftsmanship that would have been employed to make these and their inherent beauty is second to none. These timepieces inspire me to create new works of art :-)
