How exciting! I'm very impressed with your handiwork. Just be careful you don't prick your finger and fall into a hundred-year sleep. :)

You know, the first thing I thought when I saw the wheel was 'it's just like a fairytale wheel'! Although the sharp metal spindle that the princess pricks her finger on is missing on this one - it was an older type of wheel that didn't have the mechanism with the flyer and bobbin yet. Apparently you can still buy them, though... ;)

Very impressive, and you sound like you're having lots of fun. I think you should definitely keep your very useful new toy.

Thank you! It really is addictive, so I might just have to keep my new toy. ;)
