We have notches ~

My man found the perfect tool to add notches to these little spindles. His first idea was, "How about putting them through the table saw?" to which I said, "How about I use your electric turkey carving knife?" Perhaps we needed middle ground.....

He used a file that he uses to sharpen his chain saw teeth.... and it seems to have worked fine. Can you see the notch, now, where the fiber is coming off the spindle top, and then passing by the notch to the bottom of the shaft? Now I just need to see if the notches help my spinning... stay tuned!!
