Description
I recently built JeepingJohnny's Circular Sock Machine . I love using this build and I have made some cool socks. One issue that has repeatedly arisen is the weight ballast (ball bearings) has fallen out of the Yarn Stand Weight Cup, mounted to the ¼" rod. Several times I have had to get on my hands and knees and search for ball bearings under the couch, chair, tables, shelves….UGH! It seems that a bump of my knee the right (or wrong) way on the leg of the table is enough to send a few of them running across the room. If the heel spring slips out of your hand while you are engaging disengaging, then you are on your knees. I've also lost a few while carrying the CSM from room to room. So I decided to make some minor modifications to the original design to prevent this from happening. I cut threads into the original Yarn Stand Weight and designed a knurled, threaded lid to match. Aside from the lid, it works exactly as the original Yarn Stand Weight from JeepingJohnny's build. Please post so pics if you make this revision. I'd also love to know if it saves you aggravation. Enjoy!
