I'll get the pics up soon, but I just finished (all except for the wood finishing) putting together my Puschca style drop spindle. This is the spindle type that is used in Peru and can be seen on this YouTube video below, which was filmed in the Village of Quenqo, 45 km outside of Cusco, Peru.
It does not appear that they have a hook attached at the end, but I will, nevertheless, add one to mine, as it seems to help a bit with these heavier bottom whorl spindles that I'm so fond of.
I usually use a heavier bottome whorl, and have not problem getting either fine or bulky handspun from it.
