Using a kick wheel
I have been throwing for a bit over a year at a community studio but it has been closed with the quarantine. I have a barn and am thinking of trying to set up my own place to throw. A friend has offered me a free kick wheel ( I think from the 40s haven’t seen it yet) How hard is it to learn to throw on a kick wheel if I’ve been using an electric wheel? Are there any good resources to recommend? Can all kick wheels be electrified? If I decide I don’t like it would this be an option? Thanks for
I used a kick wheel for 40 years, my husband put a motor on it for me but I was not crazy about it being motorized and took it off. Mark C found a used electric wheel for sale in my area and suggested I change, he was right. I was having a hard time kicking fast enough to throw. I do miss it, I like throwing in reverse and trimming on it was just heavenly. I wish I would have kept it just to do trimming on but a didn't have the room in my studio. Denice
