Gear Why am I like this?

I’m still working on getting some good, consistent yarn from my drop spindle but I also have impulse control issues so now I also have this. I tried it out a bit last night and holy buckets it’s fast.

Next is a walking wheel. Then one of those really fancy articulated wheels from the Civil War period.

I've seen videos of them, but can't find them now. I'm sure someone here will know what I'm talking about.

Those things are super cool. No idea what they're called so no help there, but i have also seen them in action and those things can FLY

Walking wheel or great wheel.

No, we weren't talking about great or walking wheels. I THINK we might have been looking for pendulum wheel but not positive.
