- I want a Turkish spindle.
- What for? You already have a spinning wheel.
- Yeah, but look at those singles. They're lumpy and ugly. I need more practice with a spindle.
- What's wrong with your dowel spindles?
- Nothing, but I want to learn how to ply and I believe it's going to be easier if I ply from a center pull ball.
- Someone's being lazy...
- And someone's being cheap...
- So let's be creative, shall we?
-That's an ugly spindle. Does it work?
-It does! Though I must admit it's not very balanced (unlike those neat interlocking wood pieces that work as a whorl in a Turkish spindle). Nothing a couple of AOL cds cannot fix:
So there you have it. My cheap side and my lazy side have reached a compromise. Wish me luck with plying!

Good luck! No way you could find any kind of spindler here in Croatia!
Cheap + lazy = inventive! Nicely done! Let us know how it works!
I like it! I'm sending you good plying vibes, although my plying isn't so good either.
How creative! Let us know how ti works!
Pretty inventive! Good luck! ^_^
