Is there anybody else who makes Leach (or other) style treadle wheels?
Does anybody have any comments regarding the quality of the treadle wheels
that they use? In advance, thanks for your help. -=Rick=-

In his wonderful, but alas out of print book, The Self-Reliant Potter,
Andrew Holden has a PLAN for a Leach type wheel. IK think Cardew in
Pioneer Pottery does too. Even if you have to hire
a carpenter and a welder it should be affordable. I do not have my copy
of Holden, nor Carfew with me--but someone out therecopy and might snail mail the drawings to you?
