Warren MacKenzie Testimonial

"I have worked on a Leach wheel since 1950, and still find it the best wheel for making the sort of utilitarian pots which I make. It is a comfortable wheel and I can work a full eight-hour day and not be strained or tired. This wheel is the product of years of experimentation and development. This has resulted in a design that has a quiet, smooth treadle action, which allows for an intuitive speed response, according to what is happening under your hands. There is an ample slop tray, room for tools and ware boards that can be mounted on brackets in front of the wheel. It is, I believe, the ideal wheel for throwing up to 30 pounds of clay. (If you are into 150 pound pots then you need something else.)"

"The wheels I work on were made in England and will outlast me by many years. I have seen the wheels Mark Polglase is building, and they are the equal in every way to the ones I work with; I have no hesitation in recommending them. Given ordinary care and maintenance they could be passed from one generation to the next, and so on and so on and so on..."
