I am very interested in building a potter's wheel. Does anyone have the plans
or know where I might obtain the plans. I checked Amazon books but I was unable
to locate a book that discussed the construction of a potter's wheel.
Thanks for any help.

In the Charles Counts book Pottery Workshop on pages 31 and 32 there are
plans for a kick wheel . He was my teacher and I used one of these wheels
for a long time . If you
cant find it in a library I probably can make a copy and send it to you,
unless someone else has a better wheel plan.

Stargate has a nice set of plans for a simple, inexpensive wheel. I'll
post the address later - my set is at a friends house right now. The
plans are very "doable' if you have some mechanical skills, or if not,
friends who do. Good Luck

Mark- I drew the original plans you are refering to, and I have LOTS of
copies. I have made an SASE offer to Clayart, last year, and sent out
about 50 copies. Just last week, I got another request from Kelly, which
has been received (according to todays mail).
If anyone needs a copy, e-mail me for my snail-mail address. (or,- Kelly
got it from the archives, [adv.]}

My older brother built me my first potter's wheel when I was about 12, I
rememberr that he bought the head and supporting rod, and made a poured
concrete kick wheel into which he set the rod. He then built the seat and a
bucket/tool shelf to sopport the whole. It was completely self -contained, and
except for being heavy, very portable. I'll talk to him about the design, I
think he made it up himself. Good luck!!
