I got a nice discount :-) That said, I'm really glad I have it because it's fast AND it folds up, so I can keep it out of the way when it's not in use. I also have two very beautiful wheels that my father built me: an upright (Hebridean) and a Saxony. Sadly, they're in storage because I don't have room in my new house.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-19070222074461318582012-04-23T21:00:37.574-05:002012-04-23T21:00:37.574-05:00Ha!

I love the idea of it and enjoyed learning, however, I found that I would really only go to it in spurts and there would be months that I wouldn't touch it. In the end, I decided that I couldn't justify the money for my own wheel. <br />I agree with Tracey, your talent is endless! I bet that is going to make something beautiful when it is all spun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-28711729949966394692012-04-23T19:02:44.774-05:002012-04-23T19:02:44.774-05:00I'm waiting to find something you cannot do, L...I'm waiting to find something you cannot do, LOL!
