part 3 here in this series on 2 piece pots....
we run workshops here all here so get over ,enjoy some paella & local vino while you are here,also the beach is half an hour from here + there is great things to see around the locality - this is a taste of the real Spain not for "the tourists" - make a holiday of it & stay in our local friendly guest house...SL
Thanks Redshift. Yes, I was a little confused!!!
I don't think any of my pots would be worth a video. Ha ha.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

I wish I had a Leach wheel.

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!!!
