UTILIZATION OF METAL SCRAPS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROTOTYPE POTTERS’ WHEEL

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the utilization of metal scraps for the construction of a proto-type
potter’s wheel. The significance of this study is that through this locally constructed ceramic
kick-wheel; learning will be made simple for students while teaching made simple for teachers.
Various metal scraps were welded together with the guide of a product design in its given
dimensions. The study employed experimental research method, which includes seeking
alternative medium from the imported and highly priced kick-wheel. Based on the result obtained
for this study, it is conclusive that following the product proto-type design given in its accurate
dimensions that the production of ceramic kick-wheel using metal craps is achievable.
