 As shown in **Figure 8**, begin with the spinner. Drill into a clean-grained wood block with a bit just large enough for a sewing pin (about 0.8–0.9 mm). As shown in **Figure 8**, begin with the spinner. Drill into a clean-grained wood block with a bit just large enough for a sewing pin (about 0.8–0.9 mm).
-Then, as in (B), cut the block 3–4 mm longer than final size. In (C), carve the spinner toward the center hole. If you lack a hand drill, insert a pin and rotate the piece by hand while sanding; it will produce a sufficiently accurate spinner for practical use. +Then, as in (**B**), cut the block 3–4 mm longer than final size.

-If you do have a hand drill, follow (D): mount the same bit in the chuck, cut a small triangular piece of tinplate, and wedge it into the chuck gap. Press the tip of the triangle against the back of the spinner; this lets the spinner rotate freely without the drill slipping. +If you do have a hand drill, follow (**D**): mount the same bit in the chuck, cut a small triangular piece of tinplate, and wedge it into the chuck gap.

-This method yields a well-centered spinner comparable to a lathe-turned part. In (E), drill a hole just large enough for the pinhead. In (F), glue a small wooden plug into the rear, let it dry, and file it flush. +This method yields a well-centered spinner comparable to a lathe-turned part.
