Hi lindi..... I cheat as much as possible...I have a Brent CXC and
need to use bricks ( 2 under one foot and 1 under the foot pedal). I also
have to have a bench that gets my crotch up to the level with the top of the
bat .... does that make sense ??? my bats are 1" thick so had my hubby
make me a new bench this yr after rig a marolling the old bench for 15 yrs
or so... with my legs up on the bricks and my butt up at bat level I am
able to brace using my thighs... As women we just dont have the muscles to
develope that men have so we gotta use what ever leverage is called for... I
tend to have incredibly strong fingers and use to be able to arm wrestle any
man and make em sweat LOL... that tickled the crap out of me... Hope this
helps you think of ways to help yourself in the centering game as you
develope your own muscles and strength ... Welcome to the wonderful world
of pottery :o)

There's really no such thing as cheating, male or
female. When you and those that care look at your
art, they don't ask, " did they put up with what
the wheel makers gave them?" The important part is
what you make.

I've changed my technique over the years to using a 8 inch step to bring up
my left thigh and placing my left elbow at my pelvis. Individual nuances
have been necessary to help alleviate wear and tear on my body. And, I'm an
average male strong enough to muscle the clay but I don't...I want to keep
the physical strain down. Listen to your body.
Jarosz-how do you suppose you developed those strong fingers? Curious. I've
always had them too..not a strong handshake but armwrestling..look out for
the little guy.
