All you need to spin your dreams
Hello again! Look what we received earlier this week. I know it is not a royal endorsement but … wow! I wonder if she would be available for a promotional tour? 🙂 If you wish to read the full article on the UK’s Daily Mail […]
Very long time no write! We have been crazy busy at Majacraft for the last couple of months and it has been a very exciting time. Things are just about under control again so I have finally had an opportunity to post again. Amongst other […]
We now make hackles!
After quite a few requests for them we have found some space to build them. I am really pleased with how they turned out. We have again used Baz’s great idea of bonding the pins into the hackle base using resin – it makes all the pins perfectly straight and aligned. They have an excellent cover to go over the pins so nothing gets pricked unnecessarily :-). I am also very pleased with the new clamps we have made for the hackle. Using our ‘Selection of Cleverness’ again, we did things like drill the holes as slight angles so the hackle is held more firmly onto tables. The clamp block is covered with rubber that helps hold the hackle tighter while protecting your table. The hackle has tiny rubber feet for the same reason.
You might also notice the steps at the end of the hackle. They have been provided as a place to clamp the hackle with ‘F’ clamps if you prefer these to the Majacraft ones. As a nice little finishing touch, we laser engraved Majacraft on to the hackle base.

Until next time

Well here it is, the games and teases are finally over and our 18 month long project has been liberated into the wilds. Our new wheel the Aura has been overwhelmingly well received and we have been really excited by how much people are enjoying […]
Hi there Glynis has just passed me the schedule for their travels around the Maryland Show (and the presentation of a certain super secret spinning wheel). I said I would post it and here it is. If you want to come and meet them or […]
Maryland is approaching, the big reveal is coming and the new wheels are being packed and shipped to dealers from today! After a huge effort (this is why there haven’t been any blog posts for the last couple of weeks), we are nearing the end of this huge project – or is it just the beginning? The testing we carry out on each wheel before packing has been very encouraging as they are performing even better than we had hoped for. So, the big question, are you going to Maryland? 🙂
I have so many more tasks to do, ads, manuals, videos, more blog posts, photography (actually this is Rob’s department, he is a great photographer) and I am going to need to get back to it. Until next time…

Two posts in one day! Another of our projects is finally ready for us to show you. One of our primary objectives is to make craft tools that work great and look fantastic too and so based on this idea, we have given the Pioneer […]
After working hard out in the workshop for the last … forever, I am back in the computer seat and am planning on posting lots of content today. Rob is out taking photos so keep your eyes open for more Majacraft goodies. The first thing […]
The posts have been somewhat far between since Lexi visited nearly two weeks ago. I have not forgotten to do a post camp post (hmmmmn the way to a palindrome there). There has been a lot happening in the workshop over the last week that has been very attention demanding. We have a new guy joining our team on Monday and are very much looking forward to what Lance can do with us. There have been preparations necessary for his arrival. Baz has been working on the first run prototypes of a new product we have had quite a few requests for. The feedback from people who have tried them has been very encouraging so far. Components for ‘Serenity’ have been coming in and we are working hard to have it ready for the big release in May. If you are a subscriber to our newsletter, keep an eye on your inbox early next week as there is a special message coming soon. On top of all of this, we have had our lovely friend Therese Cruz and her family visit. It was great to catch up with her and you know, ‘talk shop’. Oh yes, there were wheels to build too 🙂
As you can see, lots to do. I am looking forward to sharing more about these with you over the next little while. Until next time.

Good morning/afternoon/evening to all, I have arrived back at Majacraft after a fantastic weekend at Lexi’s camp, exhausted but brimming with ideas. Where to start? Well, first off, it was AWESOME! For me the thing I enjoyed most about it was not necessarily the techniques […]
