I have been throwing for a bit over a year at a community studio but it has been closed with the quarantine. I have a barn and am thinking of trying to set up my own place to throw. A friend has offered me a free kick wheel ( I think from the 40s haven’t seen it yet) How hard is it to learn to throw on a kick wheel if I’ve been using an electric wheel? Are there any good resources to recommend? Can all kick wheels be electrified? If I decide I don’t like it would this be an option? Thanks for
That's generally the easiest way to do it, because the motor will probably get it going way too fast for pulling. However, with a Randall wheel you can learn to just burp the motor a little bit to keep a constant slower speed for pulling. With a Thomas Stuart that's nearly impossible because of the way the motor mounts.
