You could also try doing an image search on google for "Leach Potters Wheel" and see what comes up I'm sure I saw a set of plans on there about three months ago or so.
Good luck and I just wanted to say I really liked the videos you did, you should do some more as I liked your take on life and pottery :)
Oop's I just realized your a different Claymaker to the person I was thinking of.... ha ha ha.... my bad, sorry if I confused you... in fact I confused myself there :)
Good luck from a rather sheepish Redshift21
BTW check Ebay as well as they often have wheels for sale, go to ukpotters"dot"co"dot"uk and use their Ebay tool.
Hello Simon, do you never use slib to join a two pieced pot?
My teatcher learned us to make a slib off the same clay that you use at that moment. Sometimes I add a little vinegar to it, to glue the two pieces together.
Good to see this latest clip. On a personal note, I've been 'tinkering' with my temperamental wheel. (electric) Inspired by you, Simon to throw better pots!
Result:- a non-functioning wheel and a very frustrated potter!!!
Thanks Redshift. Yes, I was a little confused!!!
I don't think any of my pots would be worth a video. Ha ha.

I wish I had a Leach wheel.

Claymaker29 there are plans for building a Leach wheel in that book Simon recomends in an earlier video The self-reliant potter by Andrew Holden.
