Walton's Engines

I am sorry to announce that due to extremely high brass cost (raw materials and gears) and cost of doing business increases, I am no longer able to cost-justify handcrafting Walton's Engines. I'd have to charge $700 (as of Sept. 2022). 

------

We hand-make several styles of Furling Engines – also known as "Walton's Engines", “twisting machines” or “gut twisters”.

The original Walton’s Engine has a round (1/4" diameter) handle and 3 furling hooks. It is stamped with The Eclectic Angler logo, Michael Hackney's maker’s mark, and a serial number. The engine comes in a leather pouch. Each Engine is individually hand-made for its new owner, so please email for an availability estimate. Orders require a 50% down payment.

The Walton's Engine is also available with a beefy flat brass handle for hand-holding or mounting to a furling board.

Grip is Amboyna burl but you can request Amboynia Burl, Olive Wood, Lignum Vitae, Ebony, Cherry, or Delrin in black or white at no additional charge. Bone, antler and ivory is sometimes available for an additional charge.
