I may consider setting up a hand crank if he continues to show an interest.
The steering wheel spinner works best for little kids. I let them sew on paper bags while their parents buy sewing machines. Yup Walter got hurt - momma spanked. But it didn't cure him for life. He's very interested in sewing machines and lots of thread - cool stuff that thread.
