Thanks for the input everyone! I ended up installing a shimpo table top wheel under the glaze booth.

Thinking along Rae's line, a setup where you have a motor like that from a microwave turntable, and some jury-rigged pulleys and a belt, may work just fine, and could be done on the cheap. It's something I've thought about in the past and this thread has gotten me to thinking again. I've made banding wheels from thrift store ceiling fans and the motor can be got from a discarded microwave oven. It's something to consider if you are mechanically inclined.

I don't have a photo, but there's a 5L wine box.
And bills. 

I went to basically a trade school for my college education in commercial arts. I used to walk home from school to save money  everyday and happened to walk by a ceramic studio.
Had taken plenty of pottery classes in high school and had a passing interest in it. For old time sake I thought and signed up for a class at the art studio on a whim. 
Within 2 weeks I was going to the studio after school around 7pm and walking out at 5am to the sounds of birds chirping (and unfortunately missed more than a couple of classes) 
You know that saying "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why"? Well, not to be too dramatic but ceramics just checked all the boxes for me.. What was mysterious turned into acquired knowledge, what was technically impossible became possibilities as I progressed. And progression led to ability to envision new ideas. And I still can't bear to go a day without clay on my hands..
