tom Wirt gave some good advice on the use of treadle wheels. Ours is for
cups, teapots, small altered items, not for bigware. We bought one several
years ago that was cherry with a copper lined splash pan. Looked pretty
but threw my back out. had to get on an apple box to get up on the thing.
then I would find I had forgotten my sponge and would have to climb down
again. People asked why I sold it!!!!!!!!
Tom kindly sent me a picture of me throwing a texan creamer at our local
winery. I posted it on charles website

I make a sugar to go along with them. Not treadle wheel material.
Cheers,
Tony
