Modesty and a Fine Great Wheel

摘要

Michael Williams is a modest man, and an exceptionally fine craftsman. I interviewed him three years ago for an article about his super-light and uber-fast drop spindles and, as I was leaving, I asked him whether he had ever thought about making a spinning wheel. His wife Sarah is, after all, a former Secretary to the Association - and to the Hallamshire Guild in Sheffield; he taught himself wood turning thirty years ago mainly so that he could make things for her.
