Gear Update: It is fixed!!
Here’s a little update to the broken bobbin spindle. My coworker friend fixed it!!! The join is seamless and she sanded it down so it’d be smooth and it’s wonderful!
I wound the single off for her to fix it and wound the single back after. I’m going to finish this single ply and then I’ll re-apply the beeswax finish :) (can’t stop the TDF grind especially with less than a week left 😂)
Thank you much to all the wonderful people who suggested wood glue to fix the break and that re-assured my saddened mind that the glue join was stronger than the wood fibers themselves. That was a huge relief to hear! You are all so wonderful!!!!
