a very simple potter's wheel using a "temporary" spare tire, and a salt kiln using a commercial size mailbox lined with fiberfrax. The temporary tire doesn't weigh as much as the earlier wheel I made (see my other car tire potter's wheel videos) with a regular car tire. It loses momentum faster due to it's lighter weight, but it's easier to handle and move around. Good for throwing smaller pots (coffee cup size). I didn't have to use any glue to hold the fiberfrax in place in the mailbox as it "pressure-fits" nicely. The firing went well and I got some nice results. As I had hoped, the fiberfrax is quite resistant to the salt vapors, so only the ware gets glazed and not the kiln lining. Small wads of fiberfrax were used under the pots and they brushed off cleanly and easily after the firing.
