i throw on a stand up kickwheel. i bought it because it was a good
deal. i love it! i stand when throwing, or use a tall barstool if i
need to sit. the guy at the pottery supply (who wanted to sell the
$1000 pottery wheel) called it a good plant stand, but it works great!
i can do all the things he said i would have a hard time doing. i think
i am avoiding back problems from huching over a sit down...but i am
scared of having one strong/weak leg from kick kick kicking all the
time. i think it is called a klopfenstien, and i have seen a picture
in a catalogues....but i can't remember which.
it basically has a tall cube frame 2'x2'x4'. there is a long shaft from
the wheel head to the freeweight which is maybe a foot from the ground
attached to a 'pedal' in a locomotive style. best part...a huge
splashpan covering the top of the frame!
peace love

I was wondering if anyone on the list uses a standup kickwheel.
And if so, do you like it, and would it be possible to get a drawing or
picture ?
A man from church says that he can build one (or help me build one), if I
can come up with some drawings. He owns a conveyor company and has all the
shafts, bearings, etc.
He gave me some new bearings for my present sit-down kickwheel, only the
mounting holes were wrong, told me to just keep the bearings, when I tried
to take them back to him.
Sincerely,
Bud
