I look at wheels in Australian Potter or some British mag and druel.
Sensible splash pans. Imagine that. It seems that wheels made across the
Atlantic were designed by potters to be used by potters.
I figure if they have a good splash pan they were designed by working
potters. If Brian Giffin ever needs another money maker I wish he'd design
a splash pan for all of us that make and trim more than two pots a day.
Good luck in your quest.
cheers,
Tony
