I've been sitting on these pictures for awhile, so I figured I'd start this ere' blog to put them in a safe place. Many thanks to Eric for the wheel (Yuengling for potter's wheel - bartering at it's finest), to Nick at
Lake Erie Toolworks for all his know how and tools, and Dave for...well, whatever he did.

| The condition of the wheel when I received it: |
 |
Angle grinder with wire brush attachment
|
 |
| Internal parts after sandblasting and re-painting |
 |
| Shiny new bearings! Upgraded to sealed bearings from shielded |
 |
| Finished wheel with new cord and new exterior bolts |
 |
| Homemade 2-piece wooden splashpan |
I hope to add some more pictures of the tiny little home studio I carved out of the basement, and maybe eventually some of finished work. Stay tuned!
