I have been looking for a Bernard Leech Wheel Pattern for several years
without luck. I need the pattern because I would like to build that wheel
for personal use. I would really appreciate anyone telling me which
pottery book it is in or if someone has a pattern, letting me have a copy.
Thank you!
Ann

A general question about these wheels, does the bar connected to the crank shaft constantly move or does the leather strap engage the crank when the bar is moved?
Thanks
