Saw this interesting way to throw clay.

This is a new way to make pottery, with a mop bucket that isn't very expensive

Add that to the info contained in the free pdf, "handy farm devices and how to make them" for almost everything you need to create a farm.  I really enjoy the list of tools that one needs to build an entire farm also.

ETA:  didn't really know what section of the forum pottery would go into.  Please move if needed

This is a nifty idea, though the accompanying soundtrack was slightly jarring.  Be that as it may...

Someone near me had a very basic kickwheel on their front porch last winter, but that house isn't along our current walking route, so I'll have to take a wander to see if it's still languishing there.
