"Got it. Love it. Used it for three hours in the car today.
Not only is the spindle beautiful to look at, it spins like a dream.
Thanks for getting it to me so quickly."

"I just got my Spin n Ride and I love it. I am used to a top whirl spindle, but like the YouTube video said, it only took me about 20 minutes to master it!
This is a great idea! I will use it a lot!
Thanks,"
Valerie

Supported Traveling Spindle
Designed for spinning in a passenger seat - car, truck, bus, plane*, train - you name it.
Spindle spin comfortably without disturbing anyone or bending over.
Compact specially weighted spindle and tower cup, all of fine woods. Comes in a drawstring bag.
Just place the cupped tower on the seat between your legs, twist the spindle and allow it to be supported by the cup while you draft.

These spindles also spin beautifully without the support so when you get where you are going you already have a spindle.
Just grab yours and go!

Susan,
"I tried Jim's Spin 'n Ride and absolutely love it! I've ordered one for myself. It is long-spinning and great for any kind of travel. I plan to use it at home while watching TV or socializing. Usually I have to lean forward to spin, letting the spindle dangle down in front of my easy chair, which puts a strain on my back, neck and my temper. With the new Spin 'n Ride I can sit up properly, see the TV and enjoy spinning. It also works fine unsupported - after all, it's a "Jim". That means it is gorgeous, too! Thank you both for designing it." Ruth
"Just to let you know I received the Spin'n Ride today. I'm absolutely delighted - it is small and light, beautifully made and spins so easily. Many thanks to both you and Jim."
Kind regards, Sara G |
