Are you tired of trying to estimate how much cord needed for your broom, and wasting cord? Just think of the cord that is potentially going to the landfill, or how hard you need to figure out how to use up smaller pieces of cord.  This is the spindle for you if any of this is a frustration!

 

Choose between a 7/8 inch or 1 inch diameter foot brake/spindle that allows you to provide cord tension to make a broom.   Made of oak!

 

You will get instructions on how to load your cord so that you don't waste cording!  There are two options for tying your brooms:

 

OPTION 1:

As most broomsquires do, estimate how much cord you will need for your broom, tie on the cord using both of the pre-drilled holes, and equally distribute the cord around the middle of the brake.  

 

OPTION 2:

You can utilize both pre-drilled holes, follow tying-on instructions that come with the brake, and DON'T cut your cord, so no waste of cord product.  Even though the brake is oak, the tension that produces a well-constructed broom will leave small indentations on the wood where the cord exits the drilled hole.  Sandpaper will come with the brake; roll up a small amount of sandpaper, and sand the inside and parameters of the drill holes to gain a smooth edge when you determine smoothing is needed.   

 

A great and economical means when teaching someone how to make a broom!

 

18" long, giving plenty of room for your feet to manage the tension!
