I am interested in plans on how to build my own pottery wheel and kiln. Please, someone send me info on how to do this. (sherrypendergast1973 AT yahoo.com) Thanks.
Hi all. I used randy smith's plans...and needless to say, it was a challenge. My question is...were the heck do I find a throw head? is a "banding wheel" the same thing? Any ideas?
Also, with these plans, if anyone else has used them, how did it go with the flywheel? Did you use the diamond plate steel or pour your own from cement? Thanks.
I looked in the Buute county library website and found a book called "Building Pottery Equipment". It was made in 1975 but I would check your library and see if they have it. I'm going to pick mine up in about an hour. If the instructions look good, I'll tell you all and if you want, I can send you them.
Dear friends, I have just made a gas pottery kiln at 100 * 100 * 80. It's internal temperature doesn't rise higher than 700 C. In addition, the temperature of the kiln doesn't emit anywhere. Any ideas or suggestions to solve the problem will be appreciated! Regards
I'm looking to build a small gas kiln for home. If you have any sources I can go to please post.
O yes, please i like to know the steps to follow when building an electric potter's wheel. The parts of an electric potters wheel and their indivudual function. Also to know what kind of motor and what load is good for the carriage of the motor, and to finally know the types of electric potters wheel.
Here's an update of a kiln house I'm building for my wood fired kiln.

For those of you who are looking to build your own pottery wheel, I have found a good basic template at http://www.motherearthnews.com . Put "Pottery Wheel" in the search box and their article "Build Your Own Potter's Kick Wheel" link will come up.

Just ran across this thread and I know it's a bit old but here is a kiln I built...

I am in the process of building my own wheel (electric). I am following a design that I found online. Here is the link, I will let you know how it goes.http://www.ceramicsmonthly.org/mustreads/wheel.asp also, if you haven't already, check out the following link for some kiln suggestions.
I'm looking for plans for a potter's wheel, too. I just ran across this site. To actually build this, I'd need lots of help from friends who know more about mechanical stuff than I do ... and the directions could be more robust, but it's a start.

Due to the volume of requests I am getting for the kiln and potter's wheel plans I am resorting to telling everyone the name of the book which is Building Craft equiment An illustrated Manual By A. Jay and Carol W. Abrams. I will still send out as many copies of the plans as I can but I have to copy them on a copy machine and I will need snail mail addresses to send them too.
I would like to get some plans on how to make a wheel can anyone help me?
Hi Connie, can't help you with the kiln or potters wheel (yet) hee hee...however, http://www.bigceramicsstore.com has alot of helpful advise, including recipes on making your own glazes, etc.
Hello, I have a book that has directions for making a potter's wheel and a electric Kiln. This book is out of print as it was first printed in the 70's I would be willing to scan the pages and send the on to you in a zipped file if you will email me at Frickner (at) aol (dot) com . Hope this helps you.`
Can someone please help with plans for a pottery wheel and electric kiln? Thanks.

I have an old Seven Skill SSB-2 electric potters wheel, the mounting grommets have split and I cannot find anywhere to get more. Does anyone have any ideas where to locate replacement parts? Or know if there are any substitution pieces that would save this old wheel.
The grommet is 2 inches long, the threads are 5/8 inch each end x 1/4 inch.
