wheel
use issue

I want to thank Martin Rice for giving me the answer I rquested, and
yes,=20=
I=20
had contacted the company and my note was acknowledged but not yet
answered=
=20
by their technician and I appreciate Martin Rice's answer.
The experiences, I had hoped to get back, were not about leftys but=20
experiences on the effect of changing a wheel, possibly temporarily, for
a=20
potter who had learned to throw lefthanded who will be using my wheel
awhile=
=20
and requested a wheel, previously used in the normal manner, and I =20
wondering, if changing it awhile would cause any difficulties when
reverse=
d=20
again.

Obviously, I failed to make myself clear and opened a can of worms.I have
n=
o=20
intention of attempting this talent to change now, he's far too
hardheaded=
=20
to ever momentarily mention it anyway.
