Cigar Box Charkha (751 KB)

Using a minimal number of tools and materials you can build your own functional charkha from a cigar box. The late Marilyn Rishel Sult’s article shared here was originally published in the sold-out Winter 1996 issue of Spin-Off.

Update: At the request of readers, we've recently added in nine additional pages by Deb Robson sharing more details about making a charkha by hand.

I built one with the help of my husband. It turned out pretty good. My only issue is the drive band. O-ring kits are not easy to find.

Check out my blog for photos:
