Skutt & Son Pottery Wheel?

isn't that just an on-off wheel design? i aquired one years ago with some other equipment, and gave it away. if it's the brand you're talking about, i know why skutt eventually started making just kilns.

the one i had was a big fixed splash basin with the little hole in the side for the rope attached to the foot pedal. it had no variable speed ~ on or off. i suspect when you would throw it would coast under the clay weight. i saw a picture of one in a 1963 ceramics monthly.

it might have been mean but i gave it away to a friend who was just begining pottery. after a while it also made a very nice plant stand.

see ya
