Kick Spindle. It's a variation on a drop spindle but you kick a wheel with your foot leaving both hands free and it spins far longer than normal.
Now my question is, is there any evidence of these being used historically? I can't believe somebody just came up with the idea in 1981 as was claimed by the maker of these modern ones. Such a cool idea must surely have been thought up way back in the past. But is there any evidence to support such a claim?
Mary? Anybody? I'm not going to waste my time making one of these if it can't be used in a historical context.
