Wheelmaker

I suppose he would be a wheelwright. But then he also makes every other part of the spinning wheel. Don't know the name for that, except - excellent craftsman!!

Dave, I really like your work, and a good comment from you is very appreciated.

fly fisher, thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. I see you are in the UK. I am not sure exactly what territory "midlands" covers, but we have very good friends in Ruskington, Nr. Sleaford, Lincs.

Sean, You moved to the wrong Hillsboro!! ; ) We sure are enjoying it here.

love the way you draw us to his face, to more carefully examine his features and expression, by minimizing the extraneous details (into which it is so easy to get lost)

love it -- great job !
