new thomas stuart kickwheel

Hiya!

I recently purchased a Thomas Stuart kickwheel and spent a good four
hours assembling it. It works fine, though the instruction manuel
mentioned nothing about maintenence. As a high school student, I know
little to nothing about proper care of a kickwheel. I was wondering
what I need to do to keep it up and working for many years to come. Any
help regarding any part of the kickwheel would be greatly apprecitated.
I am also writing a paper on the potter's wheel and am having difficulty
finding info on the history of the potter's wheel and how the
introduction of the wheel has changed the world of pottery. Thanks for
your help.

Alaina:
Don't lose the allen wrench that should have come with your wheel. I've
had mine for >5 years now, and the only part which needed attention was
the set screw holding on the wheel head-- needs tightening from time to
time.
Patti from NW Wisconsin-- we missed most of the snow. Darn!
