More Pictures of New Wheel

So I wanted to make it all pretty and working. I rubbed it down good with the wood wax and food stuff I used on the Traveler, then rubbed off the excess. Then I carefully reassembled it, scavenging a leather thong for the treadle to footman connection and carpet warp for the drive band. I oiled the moving parts, and treadled for a while. Then I tried to spin. Somethings not working right, because I have horrid take up. I'm not sure if it is a double drive issue, or a drive band issue.
