Benzine Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 That public surplus website I posted had a number of wheels in SE Michigan (thats where I'm at). I know Macomb Community College was selling off about a dozen. I couldn't find that. Were they kick, or electric? What did you search under? From what I've found so far, you find different results, if you type in "Potter's Wheel", than if you type in "Pottery Wheel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StokedAboutWoodFiring Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Craigslist. Search in all counties/areas within an hour or two. Borrowing a pick-up, and spending $40 on gas to go pick up an old un-used wheel beats dropping hand fulls of cash on new, shiny, plasticy, not dirty wheels any day.

eoteceramics Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Once in a while you'll see one on Potterbarter.com but it would only be handy if it was in a city nearby. My clay supply store sometimes have them and I find pottery equipment at estate sales but usually it's kilns. You might join a local artists group and make some connection with other local potters, maybe they can help. Denice potterbarter.com doesnt seem to resolve as a valid DNS entry--are you sure thats the correct address? http://groups.yahoo....s&sec=dir&slk=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you don't find one in your area, then you have to deal with shipping, everywhere else. I wonder if it would be cheaper for you to look for a vendor, who offers free shipping, and just buy new?

I had zero luck searching, and just picked a geographic area and browsed through. There weren't too many listings in Michigan, so i found them right away.
