[Reclaim Tray / Pottery Plaster or Plaster of Paris?]

Once upon a time, I had the same situation, how to reclaim clay and then dry the clay back to throwing moisture.  I used a set of large red clay flower pot plates, or a large flower pot sitting on a flower pot plate.  These remove water just like plaster, are not as heavy, and are cheap.  And no, the red did not contaminate the white (aka porcelain) reclaim.

HI,

I just did the exact search and came across this post from a few years ago.. How has this process been for the last few years, are you still doing this, or would you recommend a different approach?

thanks,

[Lockerbie Kick Wheel conversion kit]

Hi there,

I just acquired a used Lockerbie model K kick wheel  and I am really interested in the motor conversion upgrade kit.  Axner Number: LMK200 

I can find almost no information on this (website, youtube, reddit, etc) Does anyone have any experience with this kit? How easy is the install, how reliable is the mechanism, is it worth it?

Thanks in advance!
