Re: the reversing of a kick wheel. I, too, learned on a kick wheel. One of
the demos the instructor did was to reverse the wheel for some techniques.
That stuck with me and I used it. When I was buying an electric wheel, I
asked about a reversable switch. There was one so all I have to do is flip
the switch. I still do some procedures on the kick, decorating, trimming with
the Giffen. Is this the best of both worlds or what!!?

I have a student with one hand. With smaller pots he can use the hand he
has, pulling toward himself, but as he gets more skilled and wants to
work bigger, wider, taller, he's working into his own fingertips. I am
looking into spending my tax refund on a student level creative
industries wheel simply BECAUSE it will reverse directions between
students.

I have a Pacifica 400 and am new at throwing but am a long time
handbuilder. I quickly discovered that coiling my large planters was
much easier on the wheel and I now do some coil and throwing. The
reversing switch is absolutely necessary for this. I wouldn't have a
wheel without it now.
