Mud Lathe

[Pete O]

The potters wheel got it's first use yesterday; I was planning on disassembling it and moving it into my daughter's garage but she has just been offered a new job that will necessitate a move so it will have to stay in my shed until she is in her new location. She got hold of some clay and a few tools and came around and spent a couple of hours, there seems to be quite a bit of skill in this pottery business and she is a rank beginner but she couldn't get the smile off her face. It was nice to see the thing actually works, I was worried I may have been building a white elephant but it seems to be a winner.
   
   
I took a bit of video but I don't know how to attach that here.
