12” plane dollies are ideal oo place alaze
buckers on -makes TrAnsporhiaoe of glaze
buckers around your studio easy and saves
your back. Availabke ac Revy and Home
Depot stores -approximarely $8 each in ce
garden departmenc. The dotlies ane plastic
with rolling casters - | was doubriul they
would work bur braughe one home. They
ure designed to hold planters full of heavy
dirt so their abilicy translaces well to heavy

ghaze buckers.

Another idea | tried our from a recent
(Ceramics Monthly was using a rubber non-
skid shelf liner (as used in RV's and boats)
on the wheel head or on a bare when
trimming pots. No need to damage rims
with wads of clay, the por stays put on this
tubber base. [ have eremumed quite soft clays
as well as harder clay using this method and
no por have gone flying off che wheel head
-yet!
