People who don't understand #spinning yarn by hand, aka #handspinning, think a spinning wheel works if the drive wheel turns. And that wheels are easy to build. I mean, how hard could it be? They're totally for women, so they're obviously not really technology.
These thoughts brought to you by yet another morning waking up to an email asking if someone should spend $300 on a non-working "antique" that someone says "works great," because new wheels people recommend start in the $500-600 range.

Functioning new wheels cost that because that's what it costs to build them reliably and bring them to market.
Could you build your own? people also ask often. Maybe. But you need to already have all the tools and already know how spinning wheels actually work.
