Spinning harder than I thought

I received my drop spindle. Spent Sunday trying and trying to spin only to have everything keep coming unraveled... i didn't realize your suppose to set your twist. *sigh* I was very disappointed. Also, my hook broke off my spindle already. It just came unscrewed I'm going to try gluing it in and see if that makes it stick. Now that I've read up on setting the twist I will have to try it. Then I'll get some pictures up of my spinning attempts.
