I am hoping someone remembers this from an old Ceramics Monthly article.

It is a simple home made ball mill that runs on the top of a potters wheel. A potter asked
me for information about it, but I could not remember it at all.

Apparently the jar with the raw materials rolls as the wheel turns ??

If anyone could clue me in I would appreciate it. Thanks

Chris Campbell - in North Carolina - just returned from the Arts Business Institute
weekend which was held in Waynesville, NC .... I got to meet Cat Jarosz and other great
potters. Anyone with any desire to get serious about selling their crafts has to attend one
of these ... look them up on the net.

Hi!

"a $50 Ball Mill" ????? February 1996 CM Out of an oak board base and
model airplane wheels....
If you want more I could send you a copy.

I also read a trick of filling a jar, with marbles, what you want milled,
seal it well, and let it roll around in your truck or trunk for a few
weeks.....
