I'm looking for a small portable kickwheel on which to do demos and some
turning. I saw a model at NCECA a couple of years ago. It looked like a
single pedestal of a table and you kicked the base. I imagine it sits on a
spindle support. There is no table attached. Does anyone have one, do you
like it, and where can I find one?

while ago about them. look in archives...lots of good info.

Hi there,
This might do the trick:

le=equipment/kickwheels.html#YORKKICKWHEEL
It's a York wheel; I tried it out at NCECA and it was very smooth.
Take care,
Marlene

I have a York kickwheel (what you described) and I like it very much. It is
not heavy weight enough to really use everyday, but it is wonderful for
demo's. I can swing it over my sholder and carry it up stairs and set it up
anywhere. Good because it doesn't need electricity. I usually throw small
pots on it (under 4 or 5 pounds), with the perfect demo size being cups and
tumblers. Tonya in Louisville, KY

If your looking to purchase a minature kick wheel, why not build one of
those small korean style kick wheels. I saw one in use at a ruggles and
rankin workshop. Looked about as sweat as a york, and you could custom size
it to your needs and size when you build it.
>It looked alot to me like a super sized version of the home style bench top
>wheel plans from the studio potter archives/must read tech stuff.
I keep thinkin about making one for the hell of it. quite stylazed throwing
technique, kick, make 1 pull, kick again, make another pull, I image no two
people kick and pull exactly alike and one could get a very specific look
incorperated in ones throwing.
I could also just keep my trap shut and keep throwing on my single speed
wobbliing electric wheel.
