Sure you might learn how to\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003espin on a drop spindle so that you could understand the process, but any selfrespecting\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003espinner would soon graduate to a spinning wheel when given a chance.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eOr so the notion went.
