My pot habit

Pottery wheels are highly overpriced. They are anywhere from 500 to 800 for pretty simple construction wheels. I decided to build my own. I started to assemble a pottery wheel out of a dryer motor (no kick wheel for me) and a car wheel assembly. The shaft of the motor will contact the bottom of the wheel making it spin. The top of the wheel will be filled solid in order to be the throwing surface. The speed will vary by a pedal that will in turn vary the contact the shaft makes with the wheel. Hard to word, easy to illustrate. It's not my invention, but I will make many adjustments on the one that inspired this.
