bailey wheels by Bluehowler
I've searched the google rec.crafts.pottery for advice on Bailey wheels. It all seems to be positive, but most of the entries are a year or two old. Does anyone care to put there two cents in on the subject again? I'm thinking of the ST100 or ST200 - I'm not sure if I need 100 lb capacity, but I...
