For this project I knew that I needed a motor that had a lot of torque to handle the forces applied to the clay. I found a small DC motor meant as a replacement for Hover Boards. I could control this whole system with an off-the-shelf motor driver unit that allowed the wheel to increase in speed and change direction. Knowing that the motor's RPM was too high for conventional pottery throwing, Josh came up with a pulley reduction to slow the motor down.
From the motor, we attached a 1.5" pulley that drives a 10" pulley with a v-belt. The 10" pulley has a drive shaft through the center that will spin the pottery plate, called a bat. I mounted all of this to a piece of 3/4" plywood and drilled holes for some bearings that the drive shaft would go through.
Now that I had the drive system attached to a platform, I flipped that piece over so that it would all be under the working surface. I cut some simple 2x4 legs and arranged them in a triangular pattern so that you could center the pat between your legs. I mounted the motor driver system to the rear of that platform and cut a simple shelf that will be attached later.
The bat is the super flat surface on which the clay is worked. Looking online, I could only find bats that fit on a pottery wheel's existing spinning surface, none would fit onto the drive shaft that we made. Without an inexpensive commercial solution, we decided just to make our own bat. I decided to use a thick plastic cutting board and CNC out the pieces we needed.
Josh modeled up the circular bat as well as a coupling that would lock into the drive shaft and fit into the underside of the spinning plate. With a little bit of filing the pieces fit together perfectly. I locked the coupling to the drive shaft with a nail and some epoxy. The bat fit snuggly down over the key in the coupling and the whole system worked perfectly.
To ensure that there was enough support under the bat, I added some bearing casters that the bat could ride on top of. I quickly noticed that we had to add a rubbery gasket the the bottom to buffer the sound of the bat riding on the casters. This greatly reduced the noise level and I was really happy with the result.
Everything was coming together and the pottery wheel was working surprisingly well. One thing that needed to be addressed was the slight wobble in the bat. Because we could trace every connection back to its origin, we found that the 10" flywheel and the drive shaft weren't quite straight. Luckily, we didn't screw down the plate holding the opposite end of the drive shaft just yet.
Josh and I were able to work together to slightly adjust the flywheel and shaft position underneath so that they were perfectly square, which resulted in a tracked bat up above. All that was left was to use a lathe tool to score in some reference centering lines on the bat surface so you know where to center the clay.
Although I have no idea how to properly use a pottery wheel, my wife and her friends do. One of my wife's friends is a professional potter and came by to test out the wheel. She seamlessly began molding and shaping a lump of clay into an awesome bowl. I asked her about the speed, the control, and the tracking, and she said that it performed just like a commercial pottery wheel.
We were all taken back ever time she used the word "perfect" when comparing our $200 pottery wheel to ones you can buy for upwards of $1,000. I hope this video inspired you to trying something that you've always had an interest in. More specifically, if that interest has an expensive barrier to entry, look at making some of the equipment yourself, it can be just as rewarding.

How to Make a DIY Pottery Wheel | I Like To Make Stuff
• How to Make a DIY Pott...
We ended up NOT gluing down the bat so that it's removable. That way cleaning isn't an issue. The couple holds it in place just fine with out glue 👍🏼
Look up Ingleton pottery on here, he makes removable bats that fit onto the main bat and then you can remove them with the pot on. Then you can do multiple pots and take them off the bats when they're semi dry. I think it allows you to trim when they are semi dry too.
Ps brilliant video!
Looks great, surprised you did not add some leveling feet so if you place it on a surface not level you can just turn them so you dont need to mess with the bat. And then maybe add a drain to the basin to make it easier to empty and clean. But nice DIY project I like it!
Its not called a bat, a bat is a removable piece u can attach to the wheel head and then throw on that. The weel head is what you made, you could print your wheel head with pins and also print your own bats to go on top. Also, your cake pan was a good idea for the splash pan as it is called but you can't remove it to clean it!
@@rainbowsandmorerainbows841 except it is removable
I was actually going to say it would be easier if you could remove it for easy cleaning. I think the ones at my old school had ones that didn't remove and they were really hard to clean up after.
Also, did you end up blocking out the holes from the old baring you used?
Waiting on the tutorial for building a kiln!
Right? That's what I need lol
Amanda Johnson it’s not sure he needs it. If he doesn’t need it he won’t build it
That would be great!
YES! Kiln, kiln, kiln!!!! That would be greatness!!!
There's a guy out of the UK called the VegOil guy that has a pretty good video on building an electric Kiln. It's more of a foundry, but the way he builds it, I can definitely see it doubling as a Kiln. Though I could be COMPLETELY wrong, but it does look like a lot of Kilns I've seen.
Great job! A sewing machine pedal should work the same way as well
WoodChuck Creations my thoughts exactly!
Can you link to what sewing machine pedal that works the same?
@@VincentDzinh
Any sewing machine pedal would work. I don't know where you live.
I own a pottery shop and use wheels all the time. One of the most helpful things to have is a rack to hold your sculpting tools, you should add one.
How much are you used pottey wheel s
Girlfriend is a ceramicist, so I’ve spent some time on a wheel. You’re going to regret not being able to remove the bat or the tub that catches the water. They’ll both get gross quit, and not being able to remove the bat will keep you from easily removing whatever you just made. That being said, you can easily make bats to drop onto the one you have. Drill two holes into the bat you have, then make another bat with two holes in the same place. Put some pins through both bats and you’re good to go.
so wanna see version 2.0 of this
The bat does come off. We found that the friction fit was good enough for use.
I was going to make these same two recommendations. They’ll be essential if this wheel is going to get much use. Multiple removable bats that sit in top of the base bat are super helpful because they allow you to pull a piece off and let it dry a little before you have to pull it off the bat. That helps save more delicate pieces. It would be super easy to add the pins and make a bunch of removable bats out of thinner material.
I Like To Make Stuff I did ceramics in high school and he’s right, what you need is some plates that fit into predrilled holes on your bat. That way you can throw a bowl and take it off the bat dry it for trimming then put it back and it’s still centered. The plates are a huge quality of life improvement. The big difference is that You can take them off and hose them down to clean them, you can also work on more than one project at a time. I highly suggest getting some kind of plate system going. They don’t have to be thick just a then sheet of plastic or whatever that goes on top and spins with the bat.
Also just a drain tube that you can put into a 5 gallon bucket will make a huge difference when it comes to throwing and cleaning.
I was thinking along similar lines. The splash tray on most modern models is in two parts which overlap and split for removal. Cleaning it would otherwise be a bear. Also the wheel head and bat are two different items. The wheel head is generally made of metal that takes two removable bat pins to hold the bat in place. It’s scored with concentric rings which help you make sure your project is centered (crucial). I think the rest of the build is great, but the parts I’m talking about (wheel head and splash pan) can be purchased directly from the manufacturer of pottery wheels (Brent is best, IMO). I would order them from there.
Perfect timing. I was just looking around youtube yesterday for "how to make a diy pottery wheel," and then one of my favorite maker channels answers the question :D
Me too! Except what do we do with the pottery when it's done? I have no kiln. Lol 😂
Paul's Garage just posted a foot powered Japenese style wheel as well...after watching Paul and Bob both do wheel videos I have the strange compulsion to start doing pottery :-)
Ain't that just the grace of God much love from Kansas City USA Jesus Christ loves you never forget God bless
i like how you made the birds mouth joinery. super simple but i would have been trying to do trigonometry to figure out the angles.
Thanks for the tip with the knife to prevent tear out on plywood, I'll be sure to use that one in the future.
Hi there. Cool project.
The cake pan/splash guard: you may want to revise it a bit. You’re going to need to remove it to dump the water or wait for the clay to soak up and dry out the water and then reach under and pull out the clay that falls in the pan.
If you look at commercial wheels, the splash guard is made in two interlocking pieces and are removable for cleaning and removal of clay. Otherwise, you will have clay, that you cannot see, building up under the bat. It doesn’t necessarily need to be circular just big enough for the water and clay to fall into.
My new tip from this was using a clamp to act as a stop when screwing in a piece of wood. Simple, useful!
Thank you for this. I’ve been meaning to make a pottery wheel for my daughter using an old commercial sewing machine motor. Your video showed me how to solve a few problems that I hadn’t worked out yet. Now maybe it will actually be done. Much appreciated. I agreed with some critiques below, but I should acknowledge that you actually MADE a pottery wheel, whereas I’ve just been planning to make one for the past year and a half, so what you actually made is infinitely more productive and efficient than the nothing that I’ve actually made. Kudos.
Awesome man. This is why I love your channel. I do remodeling by trade and am familiar with a lot that you do, but you come up with ideas for projects that I would never think could be diy. Great job. Pro tip. When sealing a screw hole, dab the sealant onto the surface first, then the object you're attaching (your bearing) then screw through the sealant. Guaranteed, every time. Great job man. Thanks 👍🏾
I learned so much from the B-roll in this video alone! I'm not an active woodworker but I'd love to be one day and I would have never thought to use the clamps to support the stringers from the underside while attaching them. I also never thought about with a pocket hole jig to make sure your bit will fit right by placing the bit in the jig and sliding the work piece into it. Great stuff Bob and team! Thanks for awesome content that I can still learn from even after following you for the last 2.5 years.
That's great feedback, thank you!!
Loved the tip about scoring the plywood to avoid tear out!!!
Wow I absolutely love this project! As a potter as well as someone who has basic experience in a shop I believe this is more than cool; if you want some advice I would suggest to add some weight either via a metal bat/wheel head or in some cases a wheel will have a concrete counter weight that will make a much more enjoyable experience for the artist. Also a wheel will generally have a much taller dam to keep the water in your cake pan and it will also generally come off for cleaning purposes. Enjoy!!
I’ve been thinking about making one for a long time. My wife is into pottery so you’ve inspired me to make one for her! Thanks!
One of the best diy pottery wheel instruction you can find on the internet! There are powerful DC motors with a gear as well so you probably won't need the pulley reduction.
i love this kind of build and using the stuff on hand or get at hardware store good build bring more like this THANKS GENTLEMEN
Wow 😲 amazing what you did I cannot waight to tell my brother in law to make one for me I have wanted one for a whole life time and I do know how to use a pottery machine thank you so very much for sharing have a wonderful blessing day
Probably my favorite ILTMS video yet. Great job. I think you've inspired me to look into making one myself.
My wife does pottery and has wanted a wheel but the factory made ones are a bit too much. This will make a great gift for her. My only roadblocks will be anything requiring 3d printing or CNC machining, since I have neither. Thanks for this video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The trick of scoring plywood with a knife to prevent splintering is one of the the exact reasons I love content creators like yourself. These are the little things i would have never figured out myself l!
Love it! I love making pottery but I don't have a setup yet. I would not have thought it would be this easy to make a wheel myself! Any chance you're going to build a kiln next?
I like the way you changed your design and how it works as you went along. I find with many of the projects I work on, no matter how much planning I put into it, when I actually being to work on a project I find myself noticing what I could do to improve the finished product. Seems like a very practical way to get the best results. The DIY aspect of making the potters wheel is wonderful. Thanks.
Loving these longer videos. Particularly intriguing seeing you make a tool to learn a new skill.
I am glad you didn't glue the bat down. I laughed to think of trying tl clean all that out without being able to remove it.
Came across this today and was wondering how durable the wheel has been over the past year? Best wishes, I hope you and yours are healthy and well!
Same I kinda wanna know I was asking my husband if he could make one for me I wanna know if this held up well?
Alrighty, what did I get from this video of yours:
- the idea with the gitarre pedal: nice one
- attaching the metal piece to the shaft with epoxy: i didnt expect epoxy being that good of a glue
- the cutting out method of the stabilzers for the legs: nice and simple, thanks
- cutting w/ a utility knife into the plywood to reduce tear-out: will use that tomorrow, thanks!!!
I watch your videos every week, every now and then i use them in some of my English classes as an authentic piece of listening comprehension. This week‘s video taught me really a lot of neat little tricks, thanks again for that!!!
I just took ceramics in school I wanted to make this!!
This is so cool! A potter of five years myself, and would love to make one of these, though I wonder if making a slightly larger one would be too challenging...
Also, a couple things that might help long term: most pottery wheels also have two holes on the wheelhead so you can add a bat (google potter's bat), and rather than a fixed catch pan, have removable ones so that you can clean them. I would also highly recommend having the catch pan allow enough clearance for your hand to reach into it, even while the wheel is spinning. Happy potting!
9:08 is the most important shot in the video, I spent a loooooot of time trying to figure it out. good job man.
This is awesome! I've been interested in pottery, but scared off by the cost of a wheel. Seeing how you worked through this makes building one feel less out of reach. And I learned how guitar pedals work, too, haha. Thanks for the inspiration, as always!
I also appreciate the write up in the description. It's awesome to see that a potter friend praised it so much.
I was really surprised at how it compared to a commercial wheel.
My wife is a (35+-year) retired art teacher. We started talking about getting her a potters' wheel.....and then I found this video!! Prices of commercially-produced wheels are pretty ridiculous......*if* you can't make one yourself! Excellent video! Now, to find someone discarding an old treadmill! :-)
Great multi faceted project. Electronics, wood metal. I love projects like that. Really stretches you and makes you learn and trouble shoot.
It is make stuff day my dudes
eeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
over the cake pan i would spray either spar urethane or clear flex seal (more partial to spar urethane) for waterproofing and giving some extra durability and protection for the pan against any water damage or rusting
Every video you download it here I learning a lot of things so thank you so much
"I wasn't able to find in my whole ship a screw that would fit this threads". HELLO METRIC!
Hey bob a tip for making the learning of this skill easier and more enjoyable would be to add pegs to the surface you were turning on and get some plate bats that lock in to the pins that way when you finish a bowl, plate or whatever your making you can remove the whole plate to set it to dry and start again on another one without needing to wait in between. it would also make it to where multiple people in your house could use it and have multiple projects of their own going. I hope this helps.
Oh sure, right after I buy a wheel this pops up on my recommendations
These types of projects are the best. It’s great to see you work things out as you go along. Great project Bob
My father has always been interested in pottery.
I also have always wanted to learn how to add electronics into projects. This may be a cool project that him and I could work on this summer.
Another great video, thanks Bob
I’d like to know where you got motor, speed control and power supply.
I really enjoyed this video. The pottery wheel is a great DIY project and you make it look very attainable. One thing that I learned though, and it seems to be the case in a few of your videos, didn't have to do directly with the making of the wheel. In one shot when you were drilling the pocket holes, I noticed how you offset the 2x4 so that you could get the depth you wanted. I've drilled through many tester boards trying to find the right depth, but the trick you showed was very helpful. Keep up the good work!
You do want the bat to be interchangeable, but really gluing it down was kinda the only issue here.
We ended up not gluing it down, so it can be removed 👍🏼
I found this fascinating, mainly because I was brought up thinking this way, you want something, you research like mad and make it yourself. My Dad made my wheel 45 years ago and like you, he was an engineer not a potter. It was a kick wheel so had different issues but may I tell you what he did because I still find it amazing? He started by using old dexion shelving upright for the frame, then mounted an old Ford flywheel, bearing and shaft to give weight to the kick process, for the basin he used a galvanised pig feeder ( which I later fibreglassed when it rotted out after thirty-five years of work👍). He was magic with gears and bearings so the movement was smooth and soundless, unlike my electric one! It had a hard life and produced pots for 45 years both for myself and for my student. It retired ( like me) earlier this year and now lives now in the garden as a plant holder and remains one of my most treasured possessions and memories of my Dad
Hey Bob, do you find your edits running longer is an intentional thing because of higher retention rates, or have you last projects just been more ambitious than normal ones? Either way, I don't mind!
There are more interludes for talking directly to camera rather than talking over action, which tends to space things out a bit longer. Nothing to do with retention rates, just trying to be clear. We still cut a lot out anyway.
@@forby_ appreciate the response!
Working in a boat shop for years. I learned how strong silicone caulk is. You could have put a half dollar size spot on one surface n matted the other to it. Been semi permanent. Now drill you a hole for a line up dowel in your wheel make you some bats that you can use to remove your piece when done throwing it.
SEES THUMBNAIL: STARTS PLAYING SONG FROM GHOST IN HEAD.
I had the same idea hahahaha
i used to do a lot of pottery and some things that i know would help would be to maybe take the return spring out of the peddle so that you can set the speed and take your foot off to get a better footing around the wheel instead of having one foot uneven on the peddle and one on the floor. makes it harder to work and causes strain. also like others have said that having a removable basin that is easy to clean is a god send and a must. also having removable and changeable bats so that you can make something and swap it out for a new one and not have to worry about cutting it off with string and ruining it in the process. Don't forget to wedge your clay :)
You forgot one thing.... a quipy “Ghost” reference! 😜
I do learn something new with every episode!
For this one specifically, it was how to easily set up a bird mouth joint (trace it out by putting it on top and then saw it out like that to fit)
I love watching crafts and seeing cool end products, but it's these little quality of life tips/hacks (for a lack of a better term) sown into the episode that do it for me
Thanks for letting us know!
The lack of a Josh/Bob Ghost montage upsets me. Greatly.
onecheapgeek totally missed opportunity!!!
This is some dope serendipity! We've been debating buying vs. building a wheel but most of the other 'tutorials' are kinda... not great. This is amazing! Thank you!
This diy pottery wheel is better then the 5 gallon bucket video I saw a few years ago. In our class in high school. The bats for the wheel had holes on them and the wheel itself had pegs on them that way of a piece of pottery needed to stay on it for working on later. It was able to and made the bats sooooo much easier to keep clean.
Probably like everyone else, I was waiting for the ghost scene as soon as I saw the thumbnail. That's the only thing missing from this tutorial, otherwise another great video, Bob! :D
Hahaha, i had the same idea!
Daniel Radicliffe third wheeling = Harry Pottery wheel
I really liked the way you placed your sponsor ad in a spot that didn’t take anything away from your awesome build! Great job....
Now all you have to do is to replicate the scene from the movie "Ghost" with your wife and you're done
i agree! nice idea!
oooh, filing metal shavings into motor shaft and rotor gave me the heebies.
that nut is reverse thread ;) they do that so the torque from the motor helps tighten the nut, instead of backing it off. neat project!
SMORT
Wheelchair motors often have braking systems that use a hexagonal socket that attaches to the motor shaft. If the motor is reversible, it would tighten and loosen a threaded nut, so they attach it with a setscrew instead. These setscrews are usually very small and easy to overlook if you don't know what you're looking for.
The glue or don’t glue the bat on was an emotional rollercoaster
It was actually pretty kool watching you build something that you're not familiar with and then using it. Definitely shows and helps spread inspiration for others to get out of their comfort zones and try out something new every day :)
Great video, and a marvelous shop. I too learned a couple of tricks from watching this. I enjoyed your no-nonsense way of demonstrating the various steps taken. You would make an excellent shop teacher.
I am going to show this to my hubby and fingers crossed it will inspire him to make me a pottery wheel. It is something I have been wanting to learn for quite some time! So thank you for this video!
You can make this wheel for about $200 instead of buying one for 4-5 times that amount. FIRST!
@@ComfyChameleon video probably was released to patreon first
@@ComfyChameleon he is part of iltms
Very clever pottery wheel project. Love to see an upgraded version. Heavier, with removable splash pan!
Cool video., though there are somethings I would definitely look at modifying. I'm not a maker but I am a part-time potter. If you're going to make a wheel make sure the splash pan is removable or at least accessible to clean. The wheel head should be fixed to the motor. He says he didn't worry about it because you're not pulling up on it. Having taught people they do pull up and could potentially pull that off at high speed. You would need to either add some pins that you would then apply a bat to or learn to cut your pieces off the wheel head.
I learned that I will buy one. If I still had a workshop I might give it a go. Nice work there.
Bob very interesting project. I'd have your wife try it out for real feedback.
She and a few friends who do pottery really love it!
Respect from Egypt man
You asked about our opinions so here is my personal opinion:
I like the projects like this one more than the projects where you make cabinets and home improvements. I like the projects the involve 3D printing, electronics and wood working. Of course this is just my opinion, other people may have other opinions.
Keep the great work up
Hi, You can dress up your barings with pieces cut from an inner bike-tube. It should reduce the noise. Just finding the right size.... Rob
Great idea!
I am the least DIY person you could ever meet, yet I still love watching your videos!
I agree with "PolicePubliCallBox". I throw pots and you may want to think about making a bat that has a removable insert so once you finish with the pot, you could keep throwing more pots. Clay needs time to dry a little before you can trim a foot for it. And unless your wife only plans on throwing one pot and waiting it out to dry, it would be more productive for her to have a removable insert so she could continue throwing. Here is a RUclips video with what I am speaking of. Your CNC router would work great for cutting it out from your original bat. Happy throwing!
As a cake decorator and a potter. The idea of the cake pan was great but most catch basins separate in two so they can just be rinsed and put back. Also they may want to be wider as the water usually flies out and up instead of just out.
Bob, you're basically my hero.
David was right in recommending this video! Lot's of great tips and ideas!
As some who actually likes to throw pottery this is amazing except for the splash pan. If you cant take it off to clean it can cause problems. The glued down bat is fine for me cause I'd just drill holes, use it as the main wheel head and buy plastibats that can sink into it.
Holy Moly I didn't even realize that I was waiting for you to make a video like this! Superb, amazing job!!!!
I would try Integrating the pottery wheel and cake pan into a unified top unit that easily attaches to the table and detaches for convenient sink cleaning.
Showing lots of your improvisations this video.its nice to see reality once and a while.
That is cool. You get the husband of the month award. Very informative thank you.
I suggest buying small rigid casters for supporting the bat. And i agree, the bat and basin need to be removable, it will make cleaning them alot easier.
You might want to increase the flange around the post holding the bat, from my experience in throwing you get allot of water built up quickly and will find it annoying to have to stop and get the water out of the pan (also you might want to re think the collection pan entirely it's going to make clean up impossible). I've used collection containers that sperate in half so look and see if you can modify one of those too work with your build. Also think about adding two pegs (that are removable) about a cm to put removable bats on. That way you or your wife doesn't have to throw straight on the wheel.
Your carpentry is great, and your "idea mill" is very inventive and successfully so. As a potter who has thrown thousands of pieces, and made his own wheels, for a first go, this was exceptionally well done (my first go had a wheelhead made of oak, that had a definite warble). I have to point out, of all the wheels I have thrown pots on, I've never seen one with bearings under the flange of the wheel head. It's not "wrong," but I'm not sure why you thought those were necessary, and it's likely they contribute to the "noise" factor. The only other thing I thought might be improved to improve the standard of the wheel would be the splash pan. If you made the splash pan removable, it would make clean up a breeze, and an inner well guard (to the shaft) should be as high as possible (maybe an overturned plastic cup with the bottom removed, and sealed to the bottom of the pan would work?)... This would ensure the pan doesn't fill up too quickly when the potter is going to make multiple throws (using water every time). Overall, I think this was a great project, and well done.
There is a video for everything! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work, man! Really nice! 😃
Thank you!
There are so many words that I learned from this video.
I know I am 2 years late, and I don't have the tools or space to do this, but I enjoyed the full video, thanks man.
Taking these basic ideas and adding them to an existing small sized utility table I already have, I designed a flat lapidary machine. Thanks bro...a cake pan...and a crybaby...this is going to be fun.
I'm taking a ceramics class right now and don't know much about it but i do know that the base where the clay is put on to usually has scuffs on it so that the clay can stick to it better. The scuffs usually get worn off and the bases are still usable so it shouldn't be a problem but it may help if the clay is flying off.
Please make a pool table Bob !!!
Pretty cool bob. One thing you’ve probably already figured out, your basin should be removable. “Real” wheels have basins that snap together around the wheel so you can easily remove them for washing. For a first attempt though, it’s pretty spot on to a professional pottery wheel
Really appreciate the depth and pace of your videos, very engaging. Its a tricky thing to get right IMO but you have it spot on
Thanks for making this Bob! I've been thinking about making one of these but didn't know where to start with the design. This is a great reference!
Great touch about the Paper cutter to reduce the tear outs. Cheers from India. :)
Shocked and a little disappointed that there was no Bob/Josh "Ghost" moment ;) Still, great video as always! Lots of helpful tips; I can already think of a couple applications for that birds mouth joinery.
Could also put those vibration absorbing things that you can get for 3D printers on the motor mount and under the ballbearing mounts to hopefully make it even more silent.
