Can't believe that with all the machines I have I don't have a spoked handwheel hanging around.

I broke a bone in my foot (long story, not interesting, something about getting older). So, I discovered that while I can drive a car left footed, I cannot work a motor control left footed. So last night I used the treadle, today i am thinking hand crank. Good to have options! Laura
Laura, sorry about your foot! Hey, you know Cathy here, Mizkaki, has hand cranks she sells really reasonably. She also switches out the hand wheels to a spoked wheel - amazingly fast thing to do!
