Turning Drop Spindles by Danny Smith

Danny Smith turns a drop spindle for spinning yarn. Then his wife, Marilyn, explains the types of drop spindles and how to use them.

which are the typical drop spindel dimensions? lenght and diameter of the stick? thickness and diameter of the disc? I think I've got 12 inches long, 3.75 (i don't know the unit) diameter. About 50 grams total weight. About 3/4 disc thickness, no diameter data. Please confirm.
