I don't have a problem until I start plying then mine squeeks horribly. My DH keeps coming over and oiling for me because he can't stand the sound. LOL....
Hi Linda-- I couldn't find the pictures in your photo album, so I'm making some educated guesses, such as "this wheel is a Saxony" (like your Prelude) Your DH...
I don't see any pics of it in your file. Go ahead and clean it. You can clean and oil wood, you are not supposed to refinish. Wheels are meant to be USED! :)...
Thank you, Dawn for the reply... was sure sweating it wondering what to do. I checked on my pictures and found that all but 4 of my photos have disappeared!...
... I don't know a lot specifically about older wheels, but I do know something about older woodworking. This would be early to mid 1800's, no later, possibly...
Love your sweet little wheel! I know it's not the same item, but when I started into doing antique doll restoration, I had a lot of concerns about value, too....
Hi everyone, Hope this is ok to post here... You can see a list of my groups on Grouply at the link below. Maybe you'll find some you want to join. susan ...
Hi 'Fellow' Kromski Fans, The subject of "Grouply" came up on one of the other Yahoo! Group lists of which I am a member. The administrator of that list has ...
Thank you for taking the time to post the Grouply warning. I'm on a number of other lists which also refuse any "Grouply" members due to major privacy...
I just saw the Grouply email and I apologize for the email. When a member joins they are automatically put on moderated status, which means I must approve all...
HI Sarah, No need to apologize....We're all only human beans!! This is why we help each other with the forum. I, personally, appreciate everyone on all my...
Hey all, I own a gorgeous Polonaise and I'm looking to get "traveling" wheel. I can't make up my mind if I want a Sonata or Minstrel. Do you have any thoughts...
Good question! I have a symphony and need a wheel to take places, too. I love the look of the Minstrel but I haven't seen one in person to know if it is...
I can travel with my Minstrel no problem! I've taken it to spinning guild meetings and several spinning demonstrations. It's maybe 13 lbs or so. I can sit...
I don't use a distaff when I work (in fact it was the first thing I took off), and the Mazurka even fits on the floor of my pickup if need be. Very nice. PA...
I've spun on both the Sonata and the Minstrel. I love both. I like the Minstrel because of the taller height of the orifice and the close proximity of the...
Peggy, I put my Sonata on a luggage cart, pull it two blocks to the bus stop, and take it on the bus to spin-ins. I have fibromyalgia, so if I can do it ......
So on the luggage cart is it still set up? Not folded? Peggy Bowling Green, KY http://www.knittingandspinningwithewe.blogspot.com Ravelry ID: pegstur Flickr...
I tried the Minstrel, and it felt 'light' to me; I bought the Sonata. Very soon after that, my husband was hospitalized for some weeks for emergency...
My Sonata goes almost everywhere I do. I can set it up in less than a minute, breakdown takes a second or two longer. The padded carrying case takes away all...
Peggy  I just traveled to Utah with a sonota to demo/teach spinning to college students at BYU  this coming monday.  I don't think there is anything that...
I love both the wheels but really perfer the Sonata when I'm going somewhere. It is easy to set up and break down and I feel great that it is protected in the...
I own both the Minstrel and the Sonata and I love them both, but if I had to choose between them to have just one, I think I would pick the Sonata and here's...
annie i also have a polonaise as my main wheel and i got a sonata for traveling...absolutely love it! i have a volvo and could not get the upright wheels in my...
Thanks so much. Your info is very helpful in my making a decision. I now see I'm going to be wanting a Woolee Winder or maybe a Jumbo Flyer. J Peggy Bowling...
It's folded and protected in it's case. I could take it without the cart, but have many other things to carry to guild events, carders, lunch, fiber, etc. ...
I love my Sonata. It spins like a full sized wheel but it's quick to set up or fold away and the travel case is very well padded. I used a Joy for nearly 10...
Could someone with a Minstrel tell me the TOTAL height? That would help immensely in deciding if it would sit in my car. I guess my problem is that I want a...
