i would deeply appreciate any and all leads, comments, suggestion ,do and don't ,from all you veterans. been working with clay for about 8 years and can consistently throw 25lbs, i'm 25 yrs old. i'm confident with my ability and knowledge. i'm very fortunate to have been able to save enough money that i can purchase all new equipment. i know the direction that i want to take : business and artistic. i would deeply appreciate info on kilns, wheels , books,deals on new/ used equipment and just stuff.
the thoughts that i'm pondering now are

1 geil or bailey or olson, other,, i want to go with about a 24 cu foot ( stacking space) gas

2 brentcxc, or those new axner wheels, or shimpo velocity

3 skutt ( with computer) , or viking, or LandL: i want about 10 cubic, must reach cone ten

anyway i would appreciate any info

peace to all
steve

Hi Stephen,
I set up my new space this past fall. I got most of my stuff (wheel and
kiln) from Bailey, and have been very happy with both the equipment and the
advice when I call with a question. Good luck and enjoy.
