one to keep?

A few weeks ago I bought a Webber pottery kick wheel, which had been left outside, unused and unloved for many years. After a little restoration and some tlc it was all cleaned down re-greased and given a new lick of paint. A few YouTube videos and practice throwing attempts later, I have managed to:
1) get something to stand up without then collapsing
2) apply some form to its shape
3) not break sweat trying to maintain the motion of the wheel
4) and more importantly, get to the point where I know this is possible

So now it's just a matter of practice......
... like today, photography may take a knock in the next few weeks.....
