I have a used motorized kick wheel, forget the name....something like
Esteren ? That ring any bells ? Anyway - this wheel does not have any pins,
or holes for pins in the head, so I can not throw on a bat without piles of
clay under each bat, and that is a messy nuisance.

One thing Tony taught us was to get a bat system set up. So I'm trying
Problem numero uno, is that the wheel head does not seem to dissemble from
the wheel. So OK - I know some one who works in aluminum, and I think I can
get him to come and drill a couple of holes for capstan screws.

My question is: Would this throw off the balance of the wheel ?
Could this be drilled on the wheel, with care, with out ruining the wheel ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Esterin is a small manufacturing company based in Vancouver.
They make pottery equipment with the focus on kiln building.
They used to supply raw materials many years ago but dropped the line.
You will find them listed in a Vancouver Canada yellow pages...
You can find this at any good library.
