Thank you, the Lendrum DT Complete pkg is what I am saving up for (been spindle spinning for about 20 years so it will be my first and most likely only wheel because it can do everything I want to do on it).
😂I so agree, i have one, it just ripps the wool in, lord have Mercy, it sooo fast.. But love the leather scops things, dont know what tey are called, I just got it for 10 pounds at a flee shop.. Feel really lucky, it needed a little fixing, no problem.. Happy days, 🥰🙋♀️
I see you haven’t put anything up recently so I do hope all is well with you and yours. I have recently become the owner of a Lendrum castle wheel and wondered if you can make any suggestions for easier spinning. The big drive wheel is wobbling slightly, not running true and catches on the right hand bar that joins to the foot peddles. The pressure I use on the foot peddles to get the wheel to spin also seems very hard. I am noticeably pushing my feet down. Is this a feature of this wheel? Thankyou in advance.
Not a feature, but that sounds troublesome. It's hard to troubleshoot from afar, but one trick that may help is to cross your brake band. That means to twist your brake band once, so it makes an "x" under the bobbin. That can help stabilize the jumbo flyer. I'd recommend finding a local spinner's guild or fiber arts store. Hopefully, someone there can help you really dig in to what's going on!
Do you think that the new saxony’s are as flimsy as this one? Did you guys think about sanding in a deeper groove to hold the drive band better? I have a matchless and the treadle angle is pretty steep so I’m looking for a replacement, but miss my first wheel. Kromski Sonata. I loved that wheel and regret selling it. Lol
I think it really depends on the brand. I think the one in this video was pretty poorly treated over the years. I know many of the newer Saxony style wheels are wonderful!
Camera work great! thank you I learn a lot.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Super interesting explanations! Thank you!😊
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it useful.
Super helpful, thank you! I'm looking to replace my Ashford Kiwi with a wheel I can stand, haha.
Glad it was useful!

In my opinion it's worth every penny! :D
