To celebrate our fortieth anniversary, we have transformed
the spinning wheel it all started with: the S10. The new S10
Concept spinning wheel makes it possible to customize
your wheel. We trust you have ordered all the parts to make
your dream wheel, but in case your dream changes in time,
it will always be possible to order other parts.
Of course you can change from single to double treadle (or
vice versa) or change the design of your main wheel. But
you can also change from Irish to Scotch tension and vice
versa. So if you like to spin with Scotch tension and ply with
Irish tension, you will only need to exchange the mother of
all with flyer and bobbin!
I wish you a lot of joy spinning on your new S10 Concept
wheel.

Assembly
Inside the main box you will find the parts you chose. To make your spinning
wheel complete you will always need the following parts:
- Upright and box with hardware, tools and this manual
- Base (single or double treadle)
- Main wheel (classic, 3 spoke or 5 spoke)
- Mother of all (Irish tension or Scotch tension)
- Flyer and bobbins
The hardware bag contains:
-1 flange with axle
-3 screws 4.5x20 mm
-1 ball bearing
-1 washer
-1 lock washer
-1 socket head bolt M6x20
mm
-2 nylon retaining rings (1 for
spare)
-1 spring
-2 star knobs M6
-1 bolt with knurled cap
M8x40
-1 barrel nut M8
-1 drive band
-1 socket head wrench 4 mm
-1 cross screwdriver Pz2
-
1 bottle of oil
Screw the flange with axle onto the main wheel using the 3 screws 4.5 x 20
mm. Slip the spring over the axle of the wheel.
3
Mount on the main wheel to the front
of the upright: Insert the axle trough
the ball bearings of the post. Now
push the wheel towards the post so
the spring is pressed together and
the end of the axle protrude far
enough to make it easy to push one
of the retaining rings into the groove
of the axle. This retainer has a small
protruding edge for your nail to pull it
out again; naturally this edge should
face outside.
Connect the base (single or double treadle) to the upright: Insert the
threaded end through the hole in the upright underneath the wheel and
fasten the assembly with one of the star knobs.
Assemble the eccentric parts: Insert the socket head bolt through the ball
bearing, slip on the washers, first the locking one, then the regular one.
Screw this assembly into the eccentric hole at the front of the wheel using
the socket head wrench.
4
Connect the cup of the footman to the eccentric bearing: Place the drive
band behind the footman and push the cup onto the eccentric bearing. It is
easy if you hold the footman in an angle while you push it on (this also
helps when you take it off). Secure the cup by pushing the ring to the edge.
Assemble the M8 bolt and its barrel
nut into the top of the upright. The
barrel nut has a slot that should face
outside. The slot indicates the
direction of the hole with the thread.
For Irish tension wheels:
For Scotch tension
wheels:
Mount the mother of all for Irish
tension. Insert the threaded end
through the hole in the upright and
fasten the assembly with the
remaining star knob.
Insert the bearing part of the
pulley into the hole and fasten it
with the bolt. Now you can install
the drive band.
5
Complete the construction by
fastening the bearing part for the
flyer into the big hole. Screw on the
bolt to hold the bearing part in place.
Place the drive band on the flyer
bearing.
Mount on the ‘mother of all’ to the
upright and fasten it with the other
star knob at the back side. This
part for scotch tension is not really
a mother of all but a handle and
the base for the brake system.
You now have one of the following 12 wheels:

For Irish tension wheels:
For Scotch tension wheels:
Take the flyer with bobbin and put
it in place; the axle into the bearing
in the post and the orifice onto the
brass bearing at the front.
Insert the axle of the flyer, with a
bobbin on it, into the central hole
of the pulley. In this hole is a pin
that fits the slot at the end of the
axle. The system is magnetic, so
when you turn the flyer it will snap
in at the moment the slot and the
pin are aligned.
Brake system Irish tension:
Brake system Scotch tension:
The brake band can be completely
released when you start with an
empty bobbin.
Place the brake cord into the
groove in the bobbin end, lead it
at both sides along the little hooks
and turn the tensioning knob at
the front just enough to straighten
and stretch it a tiny bit. Make sure
that you have the same number of
windings on the knob at both
sides.

You can adjust the ease of turning
the tensioning knob by turning the
screw on the bottom of the
‘mother of all’.

Block for twine rack
There are many options for adding the twine rack and block to your wheel.
Below a few possibilities are shown.
On a single treadle base you can attach a lazy kate rack in the base to
accommodate two bobbins. By adding a lazy kate block and rack you
can also accommodate four bobbins.
