Isn't this a beautiful cast iron banding
wheel ? My grandmother had one like it in the 1940's. Her's came to me in
November, 1955. My sister would spin me on to disorient the fluid in my
inner ear. [ make me dissy ]
This one came from a ceramic supplier. It cost about $ 65.00. [US] It
has ball bearings and turns as smooth as glass; forever. The pile next to it
is a collection of garage or yard sale gems. They cost about $.25 [US] each.
That is one quarter of a dollar [US]. They turn very nicely, thank you.
Ten or more are perfect for doing a repetitious production
pattern on a set of pots or plates; whatever..
Look for them, they will make you smile.
