As a hobby potter I wanted to know if this small pottery wheel could really be strong enough to handle a decent amount of clay. I wanted to see if this low-cost option was suitable for beginning potters and those interested in bringing their clay play home. Would this really be good for someone with a small apartment space, or someone putting together a own home studio on a budget? To sum up these question, YES!!! This is NO toy, and a legit tool for aspiring potters...it's smaller lighter version, but wait until you see home much clay I was able to throw on it! Even if you can't afford a heavier duty wheel, this one definitely got the job done :D
ENJOY THE DAY & YOUR CLAY ! Tammy Jo

We need more people in the world like you. Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video.
Thank's very kind, thank you so much and glad you found it useful!
I took my first throwing class last week and am hooked! Will be taking another class soon then hope to join the open studio (I'm very lucky to live next to a great pottery studio/school). I wanted a "cheap" (not terribly expensive) wheel to practice on when I can't get to the studio, this was one I had my eye on, it was great to see exactly what it can handle! You've also inspired me to take a handbuilding class as I adore your hand built projects, you are so talented and inspiring! 😊
I love hearing how excited you are about clay! It's beautiful to see where people take it, be it hanbuilding or thrown. (I'll confess I never wanted to handbuild... now years later I'm addicted😆 I'd love to watch your clay journey if you are sharing on Instagram... I'm @hobbypotter DM me and let me know you're handle. 😄
Loved this video. I've given up taking super expensive classes at a local studio (seventy five bucks a month, plus clay, plus glazes). Two months of what I used to pay at the studio would buy me this wheel. Super excited. Thanks!
I'm so glad you found the video useful! It's great you had those studio classes prior to buying yourself a wheel. You know about how throwing works and can adjust your techniques to this smaller wheel with ease!
I hand build and bought this wheel for trimming and finishing. It’s cheaper than the quality banding wheels and very versatile.
That is such a good observation, a great wheel for trimming!
I had received a wheel similar to this for Christmas a few years ago. I ended up making a small table for it. ( I found the right size legs at lowes and bought the screw mounts to attach them to the table top.). I also bought the shelf liner/ gripping mats for the table top and the foot pedal. It works great and doesn’t slide around. Since then I bought the speedball clay king for under $900. I throw on that and use this small one for trimming. They are nice little wheels to learn on.
I LOVED my Clay Boss!!! I actually wish I kept it but a Brent CXC (felt like it was free) when purchasing my new/slightly used kiln. It lasted me over 10 years with zero issues. Tidal you for sharing your experience, it gives me ideas on what I can do with this one! 😁
I knew it would be for a lifetime and as a business so I'm happy for my Brent C. It's more than many will ever need and even what I throw is mostly between 1-3 lbs. Looks like great for an extra student in the studio and light enough to move to an event for a demo. Nice review, I'd been wondering about these things too.
JEFF, Jeff, Jeff :D !1st, Thank you so much for always being so encouraging over the years ( and also for your special delivery ... I LOVED IT and started using it minutes after it arrived! )! Quick question: Is the Brent C the only wheel you've every used? I currently have a Brent CXC (not sure what the difference is from your C ). It's a really nice, heavy duty wheel, perhaps the best one of the 3 wheels I've ever had. But if I'm honest, I think my Clay Boss wheel... the one I learned on and had for 11 years ... will always be my favorite, (wish I didn't sell it for the upgraded Brent even though it's probably better lol ;).I think this little wheel makes it easier and more budget friendly for someone looking to throw at home if the larger wheel isn't within their budget. I made sure to mention that it does have some things that aren't like the big boys, and I can't vouch for this wheels longevity, but I was truly shocked by what it could do! ;) Thanks again friend!.
@@hobbypotter Your welcome. Interesting about your Clay Boss. It's easy to get hung up on a name and I did early on. At university others would move aside and make the Brent available to me. I see it's now well over double what I payed in 1987. It's way more than anyone would need who unlike you really is a 'hobbypotter'. My high school teacher sent me home one summer with an Amico. Wheel head, exposed motor under a splash pan and a switch for two or three speeds at most. How could anyone learn on such a thing, but it was a start.
Excited this year to find a vintage Klopfenstein treadle wheel just for some fun. A simple basic design that works. Someone really should make an affordable version of this too.
But then we come to the kiln. OH NO.
@@pottersjournal Lol...kilns ? My husband just bought me a set of microwave kilns for Christmas... something new to try! 🤫😜😜
You are doing great ❤
youre awesome!!! loved your energy in this haha My BF bought me this wheel and im really excited to start using it!! thank you
How are you liking your wheel?
Very cool. It is good that there are options out there for new potters. Wheels are so expensive now, I bought my clay boss in 2019 and it was only $600 and now it is selling for $1000.
Right? !!! I made the intro before looking up how much a Clay Boss was these days ...daaaang!!! I loved (and miss) my Clay Boss!
Small and lightweight is the new Fad
As usual very interesting. Thanks for the info
Thank YOU Don! PS I've been loving your video these days! Been loving your series of professional potters sharing their techniques, you got Professor Ellen Roehne! 😀
Loved it.
I too have a Clay Boss and a Bailey (one for dark clay and one for light) but I have always been interested in these smaller wheels. I actually have one because I am storing it for someone else. Just fyi, some colleges in Southern were giving them to students during the pandemic to practice on at home. Plus the students got to keep them! You make me want to try it but alas it isn’t mine and is still in the box.
I always admire your adventures!
My one concern would be where to get extra bats?
Thank you so much Tammy Jo!
VERY good question ...I did some quick research and they sell the bats, but they aren't available (probably because of Christmas). They had all the colors available before Christmas, but now it only looks like they have the orange ones in stock. Here is a link to the bats they had in their Amazon shop (Thanks so much for the idea to snoop around for these...I'll put the link in the description as well ! :D )
amzn.to/3juf3Vh
That is great they were giving these to students! I was also thinking of using one for white clay and 1 for the brown clay, or maybe one for throwing and one for trimming :D
GOOD REVIEW , YOUR LAUGH HAD ME LAUGHING
Thank you so much! (and yeah, I'm a big laugher... glad I could make you laugh as well 😁)
Thanks so much for the info! Super helpful 😁
That wheel would be great to have around if someone wanted to come over and play or wanted a lesson or two!
I totally agree! I think this one would also be good for children because the height is perfect for them. Darn, I should have taken a photo while sitting at the wheel ...it's pretty short (but so am I so it may not have made an impact LOL 😜)
@@hobbypotter I think it looks great for some stand up work, too. As you said the spine certainly would benefit! There are ways to weight it down I am sure. My husband is pretty good with problem solving issues like that. Not sure I will purchase one soon, but down the road...maybe.
Thank you for this video. I retired and I would like to do pottery thanx sooo much!, XXX. Are there kiln cheaper. I would like step by step videos. Very grateful.😊
Hi Stacey! I'm glad you were able to glean something useful from the video. Kilns are the most expensive expenditure and don't come cheap. Keep your eyes open on Craigslist for used kiln, and also look locally for studios that will rent out their kiln space for you to fire your work. The most important thing to remember ... there is ALWAYS something new to learn about clay and sometimes the disasters end up your best pieces! LOL Enjoy your journey!
hi, does the puck not stop or slow down when center clay?
Do you have any updates on the longevity of the wheel? Thank you! 🙏
Great video...appreciate the review. Although lightweight, you would think the manufacturer would incorporate a weight balance within the frame.
Yes, I agree it would make it a more solid machine. Although I wonder if the free shipping option through Amazon may be part of the reason they kept it light ...their inexpensive wheel now costs as much as a regular sized pottery wheel ;)
it also doesn't go as slow as I would like it to... I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the pedal (pontentiometer?) so that it can go slower?
I'm a new Sub. Thanks for that demo! WOW, I was amazed when you threw 10 pounds of clay on that wheel! ☺ Any chance you can share your set-up, once you are able to get a table size that works for standing? I'm curious how you will keep it from sliding around on a table. I need to use a wheel where I can stand while throwing, but can't see myself spending $1,000+ for one of the brand name wheels. I have access to wheels at my local community pottery studio, but it would be so nice to be able to practice at home.
First, thank you so much for subscribing ☺ Now, somethings I'd like to share (in hindsight). This machine handled the 10lbs, but I wouldn't not do it often. I received another like type wheel they wanted me to demo after watching this video. I did the same 1lb, but went directly to the 10lbs...and it started smoking and never turned on again. That being said, this I'd say is a good wheel for 1lb-3lbs ...it's a good wheel for a beginner. The biggest challenge with standing is keeping it stationary. These are VERY light weight and may (most likely) move during centering. I think it's a great option if you are not sure how long you will be playing with clay, if you are low on space and if the budget it tight. OH, I used cinder blocks to raise it to sitting level, and set it on a table when I was trimming (which would be the same level for throwing and standing). Not sure if this helped, but hoping you gleened something useful :D
@@hobbypotter I so appreciate your feedback on your solution for raising the wheel to a more workable height by using cinder blocks! I like that! Oh, btw I have noticed a few reviews on other websites about smoking/electrical issues with some other models of similar quality. I will have to give that more careful consideration.
They charge extra for bulk
Hey thanks for the review! I want to buy one of these for my girlfriend. Ehat do you suggest the 3 leg version eith external pedal or these ones with handle and pedal integrated?
I'll tell ya, I think the unattached foot pedal is a lot more comfortable, convenient and less restrictive because you can move the control where it is most comfortable. The handle (for me) interrupts my throwing because I adjust speed as I'm pulling up sometimes. The pedal on this whee is attached to the base and resting your foot on it topples it a bit. I also had tested a 3 footed wheel, and actually fried the motor after the 2nd throw by putting 10 pounds on it (my bad)...even though it worked on this wheel, I wouldn't recommend that kind of weight. These wheels are short, so she may want to use cinder blocks to raise them for her chair. Probably more infor than what you were looking for, but maybe it will help! :D
Thanks for sharing that! You did great with 10lb! Is there any warranty on it?
Thanks Vick! (surprised my own self with 10 lbs, and even on a lighter side wheel). The only thing I see is the Amazon 30 day return policy. There was only an instruction sheet in the box, so I'd have to say no warranty on this one.
@@hobbypotter Thanks! Please let us know how it holds up after a year or two if you think about it, ha!
Great video! I had always wondered about those wheels. How loud was it when you threw 10lb? Could you easily talk over the noise?
Thanks Pat! Nothing, seemed to change, it was still quiet (well, except me possibly huffing & puffing trying to center it all, LOL ;)
Great video :) Thank you for doing this... :)
My pleasure!
Bought the 36cm last month because it had a lot of good reviews. Unfortunately, the wheel head is off-centered and wobbling. VEVOR's customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. Their website says 30-day no-hassle returns, but getting a new wheel has been the biggest hassle ever! Their first reply was for me to wait 3 weeks for a repair kit so that I could fix it myself. We've gone back and forth several times and each time they refuse to let me return the wheel - they keep upping the incentive to keep it. So far they're giving me $125 to keep it. Does anyone know how to fix it? I have no idea and now I'm stuck with an off-centered pottery wheel.
Given that it both off-center and wobbling there might be too much room for movement for the shaft that leads to the wheelhead. Perhaps see about removing the wheelhead and take a look while the machine is running
sometime it depends on the clay your are using.. what is the type of clay are u using
I was using Standard 105 earthenware.... my stoneware & porcelain clays were too dried out that day. I think that if your clay is soft enough, any clay will work. 😁
Does it use standard size bats? What size are the bats if not? 😊
She said 7.5" between get pins on this one.
*꧁ 🤣💜 Благодарю 👌 Всё Супер 👍 ꧂*
Do you need 220 for electric?
The specs on Amazon state that it is 110V
We sell ceiling fans on Amazon, can you introduce them to us?
This guy PJ had the same issue.
Weight to machine ratio. This is the problem. They are designed for Japanese and Korean users. Much smaller in body than us Europeans.
*꧁ Acaricia la mirada 💝 Gracias 👌 ꧂*
*꧁ В порядке ☀️ ꧂*
I would love one of these! I have a very old standing wheel that is just impossible to use. I have left it too late and I'm too old for it. This little thing should work, though. But have a look at the design in this video - it seems to be fine on the back... ruclips.net/video/Jox9gMLEQ5E/видео.html
Thanks for sharing the link. I can see he is more upright. I bet it's a handmade kick wheel.... love how it's so silent!
I'm glad review was helpful for you!
