Vindolanda Wheel throwing first pot
Throwing the first pot on a conjectural replica potters wheel. Based on the wooden disk found along with kilns, in the North Field at Vindolanda, this is my attempt to show how it might have been used as a hand wheel. I will now go on to add a heavy flywheel so it can be used as a stick powered, momentum wheel. It should be noted that this disk may actually be a small table top or stool, or may have been one of those items, recycled as a potters' wheel.
