The Little Cat in the Land of CPWs

IMG_1697[1] by Mathilde Lind
My little German wedding wheel came home after a year of waiting! Ron Antoine had to do some serious work on her. He remade her tension screw, fixed a nasty break in the table from the warped tension screw, fixed a broken leg (a larger job than it seems), made new flyer arms, and turned 7 wooden bells to replace the missing ones. She's perfect now, and the sound of the captive rings on her mini spokes reminds me of a cat purring, so I've named her the Little Cat, or the Silken Tiger, but mostly Little Cat. She's so wee that my whole foot doesn't fit on the treadle, so I just treadle with my toes.
