Triple Flyer Features

  • "Castle" type wheel with scotch tension
  • Handcarved wheel and sculptured figurehead
  • Choose Super High Speed with 6 ratios up to 24:1 or Ultra High Speed with 8 ratios up to 33:1

  • 3 interchangeable, dual plane dynamically balanced flyers. Having 3 flyers with their respective ratio whorls enables the spinner to achieve high speed ratios without having to remove or add any parts to the wheel. Placement of an extra small driveband is all that is needed to increase ratios over 15:1.

  • 26 Custom sealed ball bearings (you'll never have to oil parts)
  • Wide, comfortable heel-toe double treadles

"Gigi's" Wheel
Walnut

The "sun burst" motif for this wheel was designed entirely by the customer.

This is a lower priced wheel without carving, but has all the fine mechanics and engineering as any of our Triple Flyer spinning wheels.

"Star" Wheel
Walnut
Ultra High Speed (large whorl allows for 33:1 spinning)

This wheel is a good example of collaboration between Tom and the customer. Working together, they came up with a "Star" motif for the wheel. It was built as a lower priced wheel without the carving.

24:1 $5,800
33:1 (shown) $5,900

"Pinscher" Wheel
Walnut
Ultra High Speed, 33:1

This wheel was also designed in collaboration with the customer. The grace and beauty of this dog breed comes to life with Tom's finely sculptured figure head. Handcarved paw prints on the treadles are a finishing touch.

$9.500

"Canine" Wheel
 Handcarved Walnut
Ultra High Speed, 33:1

 "Dragonfly Wheel"
  Handcarved Walnut
  Ultra High Speed (33:1)

$8.900

A spinner's love for dragonflies was the inspiration for the creation of this wheel. Carnelian gem stones were used for the dragonfly eyes.
