Hi Everyone,
The Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen has a Brent Model J Kickwheel for
sale. New this wheel lists at $1449 and seems to be offered by
various pottery supply dealers from $749-$1304-- quite a large range.
This is a real kick wheel--it is not motorized. The frame is rusty
and needs a good wire brushing and repainting, but the wheel turn
easily and, operationally, seems to be in excellent condition. I sat
on it today and wished I were 20 years younger or it would be mine! I
learned on a kickwheel and still think they are the best wheel for a
young potter.

The wheel must be picked up and you need to bring two strong people--
its listed weight is about 300 lbs. and you will have to get it into
your vehicle yourself.
Asking price is $350--what a bargain! If you are interested call
Barb, Nick, or Sherrie at 215-579-5997.
And, by the way, if you are in the vicinity, the Guild Fall Tyler
Craft Fair is this weekend (Oct 19-21) at Tyler State Park, Richboro,
Pa (which is where the wheel is also). Over 130 of Pennsylvania's
finest craftsmen will be showing their work. For more information go
to pacrafts.org
Regards,
John
