Working on a Drum Carder Part 5

Carding Fine fibers and one last glitz tip! For all those curious, even though I've stated in the video (and in the credits several times)...the drum carder is a Pat Green Deluxe. You can search online or order from susansfibershop.com/pat_green.htm.
You can also buy a burnisher there as well. :)

Thanks for sharing your carding videos! They are full of useful information I haven't found elsewhere. Question: I have never found a "burnishing tool" anywhere. Would a hand carder be a good substitute?

[rexenne]

@emily91ify Yeap, just turn it so the tines are backwards, but it may ruin your carder. Search online for Susans Fiber Shop (.com). She has one for sale. :) That's where I got all my spinning equipment from. Susan is an awesome lady.

Thank you, I hate your voice too. :/

Do you realize that (unless I am using the wrong key words) YOU are the only person on YouTube demonstrating a drum carder!!!

I can't tell you how much you have enhanced my fiber life with ALL your videos!

[rexenne]

Yep! That is one of the main reasons I did them. Now I see there is a lack of proper tatting tutorials so I will do a few of those as well! :)

Thank you. Someone turned me onto your videos this morning. I've had my drum carder for months and not used it and I watched all your drum carding vids today and I've not only made my first blended batt but I'm also carding all the junk I've had sitting here for dog knows how long. Also, my drum carder has never been cleaner and I vow to get a burnishing tool at SAFF in a few weeks. Again, thank you, you got me moving!

Thanks for the positive feedback as it is always appriciated. For some reason a couple comments have been sitting for a couple months because I was not notified of them. Sorry! I am glad you are having fun with your carder now!

Hi Rexenne, you are so talented! Your videos are the best. I would like to know where to get the silk hankies if you don't mind. I live in Canada.

I really love your demonstration videos and hope you will continue to make them. You are straightforward and explain very clearly the steps to follow, which is especially helpful for beginners like me. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with others.

Thanks so much for the video! I'm trying to decide whether to get a drum carder, and this is definitely making me want one. I have one question for you, though: is that the Deb's Deluxe with production cloth or fur cloth? (I'm interested in that model.) Thanks again!
