is that a kick wheel? are they hard to like maintain speed

[soderstrompottery]

Thank you for your question!

It is a treadle wheel that I built to work well with the "left handed" throwing style that I learned in Japan. I find it easier to "kick" with my right leg while throwing in this manner. The movement of the leg becomes automatic.

@soderstrompottery hi. How did you build your treadle wheel? Did you follow any plans?

[soderstrompottery]

@esumtm I based it on one of the Leach Treadle Wheels. I took some photos and made notes based on one that we had at the University of Minnesota. I have a bit of info on my website.
