So i had the same basic idea for a vertical swift but when I went to Home Depot looking for a 5 way tube for mine the guy looked at me like had spiders coming out of my ears. I made the wind mill part and just used it horizontal for a while. It worked okay but mine is 5.5 feet across and takes up all the space in the room while i'm using it. The swift can be seen in action on my blog, I put a video up. So I went out to Google (wonderful place) and looked for ideas on how to make mine vertical and found your tutorial. Very nice. All the things I was looking for. So I used most of your base and arm idea and i just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the idea. Mine is 8.5 feet tall. Perfect for making huge loops to dye yarn with. Thanks again, Ginny Nifty Swift!

I'd love a tutorial. My DH built me a wooden swift and I promptly busted it up while walking it into a wall. I think PVC is a little more my speed! Oh…brilliant! I’d love a tutorial.
