... I'm taller than you are, but not by much. I am obviously, however, much lazier than you are - I just grab the upright and tilt the wheel toward me when I...
Today I bought myself a new wheel. I had been thinking of getting a Symphony for a few years, but bought an Ashford Traditional used for my first wheel. For...
... I owned a Lendrum for two years, and sold it to buy my Sonata. It was a very good decision - the Sonata requires much less effort to treadle, and spins...
Like Holly, I also invested in the extra whorls for my Minstrel both the faster and the slower one and they complete my wheel for anything I might need for...

Ref: leaving Kromski legs unglued: One of the reason Kromski suggests leaving legs unglued is if you sell the wheel and have to ship it. It is easier to...
... So while portability is a bonus, the other options like the large bobbin and flyer assembly is the real benefit. ... I do believe The Woolery has a jumbo...
I agree that you don't want to glue the legs in place. The whole reason is to give them room for contraction and expansion. If you find them wobbly, easiest...
