- Can any of you spinners out there give me any info on deciding between
- used spinning wheels vs. new wheels vs. wheel kits. It is the gift
- giving season, and my spouse has been so strongly hinting about wheels that
- I picked up her issue of SpinOff last night. I saw a few ads, but no
- prices. Any opinions on these questions?
-
- What would be a good beginners wheel?
-
- Any ballpark prices to get my expectations centered?
-
- How easy is it to find used wheels? What sort of price differential
- should I expect from new?
-
- Anybody built any kits? I built a loom from plans for last Christmas, and
- I have looked at wheel plans in various books. Im not sure my woodworking
- skills are up to the task.
-
- Where to obtain said kits? I didnt see any ads specifically mentioning kits.
