I have posted photos of the standing wheels I prepared for
the Nez Perce School art program. Standing throwing is easy
on the back and the built in deadrests make centering even
large masses of clay much easier.

I also posted photos of the little test kiln setup I
mentioned in previous posts.

The Woodley is set high and the shimpo Gold currently is too. I sit
on a bar stool to throw at the shimpo. It is similar to standing,
except you can rest your legs and also put your feet on the riser box
when you center or trim.

"The tea ceremony bowl is the ceramic equivalent of a sonnet: a
small-scale, seemingly constricted form that challenges the artist to
go beyond mere technical virtuosity and find an approach that both
satisfies and transcends the conventions." -- Rob Sliberman

Thanks Michael. Could you explain how the deadrest works? I don't quite get
where you stand and how it works. Thanks.
