DC -

A treadle to replace the electrical service.

(I use to build spinnng wheels & hand weaving looms for a living . .  )

regards,

Scyth

DC:
That would work but you would have to treadle awfully hard to get feather burner red hot ;D

TSA:
thats funny DC ;D
although i do like the idea of a treadle to do the majority of the spinning work- it would be a cool addition.
maybe a solar charger and a 12v battery ;)

i just love seeing folks who think out of the box!!

DC:
I remember playing with my Mom's treadle sewing machine :) I think it would be tough to get an even slow speed. Except for the weight I think running the thing with a car battery would be great. Then you could charge it with solar. 12 volts is mains voltage on Haida Gwaii isn't it ;D ;D

Hawkdancer:
The only thing missing is the automatic shaft straightener >:D (lol)!  I learned how to sew on a "White" treadle machine many, many years ago, before boys were supposed to do those things, after I started learning how to cook in the kitchen.  Never figured out spinning wheels, though! 
How about posting some plans and a load list?  Unless you are applying for a patent, of course!
