All these years I've never had a banding wheel for my pottery work. I've used inexpensive lazy susans purchased at dollar stores. The problem with the lazy susans is they lean and aren't level so work sometimes ends up the same way. The idea of the banding wheel is to place your work on the wheel which is easily rotated around so the work doesn't have to be turned with your hands.
I decided to order an inexpensive banding wheel last week. The order didn't specify what size the banding wheel was. When I received the wheel I realized the diameter isn't as large as I thought and it's fairly lightweight. For the price I'll make do (for now anyway).
I had an old bread board I was going to donate but I retrieved it. Gary mounted the banding wheel to the bread board for me. The added weight will make the banding wheel much more sturdy, yet it's still easy to pick up and move. Yesterday we planted three flowering pear trees to help shade our driveway in summer. I was hoping to find some yellow clay but I only found red. Next week I want to till up a section of the grass to put in some perennials. I'd like to have a cutting garden. I love bringing fresh flowers into the home.
Have you ever shopped at
Big Lots? We went there the other day and I found several jars of spices which were quite inexpensive. I like to use spice in my cooking so this was a boon to me; spices can be very costly. You know how they say a penny saved is a penny earned. Nowadays it takes a lot of pennies to save. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
