clay mixer less than $200?

I find that wedging and mixing by hand is much easier if you use a vertical harp - have a look at

 

 

I don't think the vertical harp is nearly as good as just attaching a wire at a diagonal to a a wedging board. The whole rinky dink contraption looks like it will break and fall apart if you use any force or more than a pound or two of clay. This is much better:

but even here, the wedging board should be a LOT bigger and stronger.
