New Wheel


My new to me vintage 1974 Shimpo RK electric wheel.  My knee injury has still not resolved so if I want to keep making it's going to have be electric for the bigger pots as my treadle skills are not there yet.  It's taking a bit of getting used to.  I keep expecting it to slow as I'm throwing like the kick wheel does - a bit like cruise control when you're heading into corners and there's that panic when you're going too fast.  Just have to build a table around it for water buckets & tools and I'm set.  I'm very grateful that my friend had a spare one and that she sold it to me for such a good price.
