If you used a flattish strap, as in Mel-san's picture, it would slip on =
the
shaft as you pulled it back across, due to the inertia generated by the
wheel/pot/and so on. "A body at rest tends to stay at rest..."
For me, were I married to him, I would have stuck his head in the mud =
and
left him years ago...but times were different then I guess. And how he =
put
up with her incessant nagging while trying to work.... (sorry, =
couldn't
resist)
Best,

Well, during dinner, I told my husband Bill about my hasty conjecture =
about
the rope-propelled wheel, and he pointed out that there would be a =
sudden
reversal of rotaion each time the rope was pulled...DUH!! So it would =
be a
potter's wheel from hell. It was fun to visualize, anyway.
