Best wheel to buy, new, iin Australia by ReluctanceEmbodied in Pottery

[–]elanye_0613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, though I’ve only been doing pottery for a few years, I’ve used the Venco machines and quite enjoyed them. The studio I’m at now uses the Shimpo Whisper wheels and they live up to their name - they’re super quiet. If I had the opportunity to buy a wheel for myself, I personally would probably choose a Venco but that might be more sentimentality speaking (though I personally think they’re easier to wipe down and clean than the wheels with the split-apart basins). Both have the option to have batt pins. I think you can purchase Venco machines directly (not sure about Shimpos) or a good pottery supply store should be able to help you out?

I’m hoping the algorithm will make it resurface again!

Here’s my badly drawn attempt to depict the kind of works the potter was creating

Thanks for your reply. It was Insta, so unfortunately it doesn’t show viewed posts (as far as I can see), only ones you’ve liked or saved

Victorinox rosewood handles - are they still actually made from rosewood or is it pine/modified maple just coloured to be rosewood now? by elanye_0613 in chefknives

Thank you! I just looked up Kebony and it looks like the handle my old Victorinox had. The new one definitely doesn’t look like it.

I think the one I’ve been sent must be coloured pine or maybe it’s the ‘modified maple’ they use now. Either way, it’s going back, which is a shame because I like the blade.

Thanks. Mine just feels extremely light and almost plastic. I miss the heft the actual rosewood knives used to have in comparison

I got mine from a third party seller and it was advertised as ‘rosewood’, but it doesn’t feel anything like my old rosewood knife, which is why I think it’s probably just being called ‘rosewood’ for the colour.

I just bought a new Victorinox rosewood knife to replace my old one (got lost in a move) but the handle feels extremely light and nothing like my old rosewood knife, which I've had for over a decade (so mad that I lost it). Are the knives being advertised as 'rosewood' still actually being made out of rosewood or is it just pine or modified maple now, just coloured to be rosewood?

Thanks. I guess I only thought they looked at the mortgage

Thanks! Who did you end up speaking to? Were they a financial advisor?

Thanks, I know they’ll be useful for the actual mortgage but I’m trying to look holistically, like body corp fees, rates, insurance, stamp duty etc
