A particularly effective way to harvest silk from a giant cave spider. This one is tame and is being baited by a goblin crossbow(wo)man. In this particular design, the spider itself is left unchained - when it was restrained, its rate of attack was significantly reduced.
The actual setup has since been slightly modified to replace the 2 doors on the top-left and bottom-left with raising bridges linked to the same lever as everything else so that the spider can calm down during the harvest.

Ah. I was trying to set up a farm, and kind of failed at it. This helps to clarify how I should've set it up.
