So busy! Just letting you know I'm still here

I am in the midst of finals for my classes right now, so I haven't posted anything for a bit. I'm planning on adding some more fun fiber things as soon as I am done with classes (yay!) in a few weeks. 

I've been further debating the spinning wheel issue and have come across another wheel that I much prefer over the ones I have previously mentioned. 

Its the Fricke S-160-DT... and here's some specs:

• Drive ratios are 5.7:1, 6.8:1, 8.7:1, 12:1, and 19.4:1
• There are double ball bearings on wheel and flyer axels 
• Single ball bearing at footman connection to axle lever
• Total height of these spinners is 30 inches
• Height of orifice is 28 inches. 
• Carrying weight is approximately 13 pounds.
• Delta orifice is standard (optional 3/8" round orifice with threading hook an additional $15) 
• The frame is made of various hardwoods, such as ash, white or red oak. 
• Wheel is MDF with attractive wood grain finish on both sides. 
• Includes 4 bobbins and a Kate with yarn guide. 

Most places I've found will ship for free, too! Anyways I will post some more fiber soon and just wanted to say that I'm not dead (yet.)
