Any recommendations on instructional videos for using the wheel to throw various forms? I notice that axner.com sells a number of videotapes, but are they any good, since they are bit costly?
any good instructional videos ?

Robbin Hopper's videos are good.
I found a number of videos and books from my local county library. Of course, depending on where you live and how extensive your library system is, you might find a gold mine like I did in Portland, Oregon. Some were as boring as watching clay dry in December in the Northern Hemisphere, but, they were somewhat informative.
Many potters associations collect videos and books and check them out.

The video I would recommend is by Bonnie Staffel. You can order directly from her at Bonnie staffel
13100 Campbell Court Charlevoix, MI 49720The video costs $25 plus shipping and handling (around $5 I think)
You can e-mail her directly at snipped-for-privacy@chartermi.net for more info
Hope that helps, Wayne Seidl
stephen jepson has a series of great videos from begining handbuilding thru throwing & how to throw large pots. he also has a video of just various pieces of pottery which has been great for general review & inspiration.
he usually has an add in ceramics monthly. world pottery institute or something like that...
