👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 Download my free, 14-point pottery wheel review of the Shimpo Aspire with a foot petal 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼See how it stacks up against the four other beginner's pottery wheels I have in the studio.
The Shimpo Aspire pottery wheel with the foot pedal is a great blend of portability, quality and price. Shimpo is a trusted name in ceramics and the foot pedal on this wheel is solid. It feels like one from a larger and more powerful wheel. However this wheel is one of the most portable wheels on the market.

Hi !I love your video and just want to ask about the noise level of this small wheel. I live in an apartment and struggling to figure out how I can accommodate a wheel. The noise factor is crucially important. How would you rate the noise from either the pedal or the hand crank version? Thanks. J

@carolinelove1830 Год назад

Random question but what are the dimensions or brand of the bins you sit on? Seems like a great companion product for this wheel!!

@fomanbeast2141 2 года назад

Yo! Really love the set up and how easily you can store everything in that bin and make it so portable! Where’d you buy that bin if you don’t mind? Or what kind is it

@OutpostPottery 2 года назад

Hey Foman! They are called Contico Storage lockers. They used to be really popular 20 years ago when I was living all over Asia. We bout them at Walmart back in teh day and my wife and I have like 30 of them from moving our house and home so much. They are hard to find now but if you search for "contico storage lockers" you can still find them out there. Hope that helps! -mj

Hey bud thanks for the reviews. I was wondering if the foot pedal stays at the speed you've set it to if you take your foot off? Or do you have to hold it at your desired speed?

@OutpostPottery 3 года назад

yes, it does stay at the same speed if you take your foot off. It's not spring-loaded to slow down or anything. I usually take my foot off the petal when I'm not adjusting the speed and it's stays put. One thing to note on the Aspire's foot petal though is it is a little stiff. Perhaps there are ways to adjust this but my 8 year old son has trouble getting it to the right speed becasue the lacks the strength and weight to adjust it. The Aspire foot petal is a legit petal though. It's all metal and feels substantial - much more so than the budget wheels you buy on Amazon that I have also reviewed here.

Got an Aspire for Christmas! I don't have space for it in the house, so will practice throwing outside when the weather is warm. Do you know how large your foot locker is? I definitely want to find one like it.

www.lowes.com/pd/CONTICO-Contico-23-Gallon-Black-Plastic-Storage-Trunk/3549246 this is the one I used. They used to be sold everywhere but very hard to find them now.

Hi there! Which model would you choose over the other? This one or the one that comes with the hand crank? Nice vid. Thanks!

@OutpostPottery 3 года назад

I think it's a little easier to learn with the hand crank because you can set it exactly as you like it and then leave it at that speed until you're ready to move. The one thing that it's a little easier to do with the foot petal is throwing off the hump - specifically when you're cutting the vessel off the top, but other than that i think it's a little easier to do most things with the hand crank. Plus it's a little cheaper :) I would probably go with the hand crank version. I have 2 hand crank versions and 1 foot petal version of the Shimpo Aspire.

@jmpiedracueva 3 года назад

@@OutpostPottery Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I will most definitely go with the hand crank version of the Aspire. Cheers!

@cre2919 3 года назад

I thought about that one but after much research I decided on a Brent C wheel my first one go big or go home Lol I really like it but I'm not good at it yet God bless

@OutpostPottery 3 года назад

Haha. Go big or go home is right. I promise if you practice you'll get good... or you'll get addicted and then you'll get good :). That's what happened to me. I used potter in my work breaks to get me through the day. Then I just couldn't stop.

@angelaharvey2649 Год назад

Not sure when you made this video but I wondered if the Giffen grip mini would fit on this wheel?

@OutpostPottery Год назад

it does! they made the mini since i shot this video. So glad they did!. Thanks Angela -mj

@jenniferkmulcahy 2 месяца назад

If I get the foot pedal version, can I remove it for the lever in case I want to try both? Also the pedal in your video looks way bigger and sturdier than the one on the sales listings. I wonder if it changed?

@OutpostPottery Месяц назад

Hi Jennifer. I just looked at the foot petal listing and it appears to be the same one that I have. I'm not sure if you can switch them out. I imagine you can but I haven't tried that and it may take some technical know how. Sorry I can't be of more help on that.
