Heat pumps are great-I have installed two Mr Cool units and I'm putting in a third this summer. Not needed a studio one yet but might if it gets any hotter or Natural gas prices soar again. We use the Kitchen one daily in winter.

I use my bench grinder all the time for glaze runs (green course stone) and then two small dremal tools to clean up with. 
My angle grinder for shelves and bricks
Rubbing stone to smooth pot bottoms
and yes on the surform for trimming  as well. 
300 disc CD player as well as Pandora piped into studio and kiln area -must have for me on sperate volume controls

The bisque will absorb glaze more if underfired less if overfired . That the deal. In ceramics every detail is important 
Next fire put some cones in so you know whats going on
If you fire bisque to 06 and you know your glaze application at 06 then its important to go to 06. If you go less or more  temp than glaze application will most likely be a different outcome

I think many must think you add the clay once to hopper and pug it all out.
You need to add clay a few times to hopper and let it spin a minute between adding more to fill it. It takes 3-5 charges to get the barrel a full nd then you mix and then you vac and pug it out
I put the clay in hopper turn it on  a minute then off add more -a few times (3-5) until full. (you cannot fill it all at one go round) then mix a few minutes maybe 5 tops and then turn on vacumme and pug it out until it stops extruding. Repeat
If the clay is all different moisture contents mix a bit longer to even it out. 

Bisque fix is my suggestion-an Amaco product -it will fill the cracks and acts as a glue. The downside is its white and will show threw clear glaze.
Apply let dry sand it down smooth then glaze and fire.

If its non -functional who cares?

Look up any of the how tos here on Brent wheels
The brushes are the last thing I would look at they last forever.

I use sierra lite from laguna-its a white talc-no stortage, cost is more.

Put some Deep Creep or other penetrating oil on the shaft /wheelhead and let soak a few days before the rubber mallet hitting in center

(Some are unglazed.  Traditionally, glazed bonsai pots are not glazed on the insides.) 
 
I am pretty famliar with bonsai pots-I have seen them glazed and unglazes-I have both types
My point is glaze on one side will put stress on clay(hence warping) -glaze on two sides is equal stress

In my early adult years I did not talk to myself as I do now in my later years

I have a few ideas
clay has memory so if you bend those slabs during any part of the making ,drying assembly process you will get bending layer-maybe you are keeping them flat100% and this is a non issue
Are these glazed at all or left bare as glaze on one side will warp the walls
If the bottom is unglazed, place for supports under the Bottom exactly same thickness as feet -they can be loose (not attached )for support as they will shrink the same as the feet while supporting that 14 inch bottom. 
Use waster slab as the feet feet/and pot will shrink the the same as slab and not grab the shelve.
14 inch  bottom with 4 corner feet is asking for trouble unless you take at least some of the above tips
