I used to wear dickies in high-school. If they still fit me I think they would be in pretty good shape 15 years down the road lol... I've not bought any dickies since I've grown up but would absolutely buy them if I needed to have a certain look or something.

If you're looking at the concept2, consider a WaterRower S4 or the Ergatta upgrade, they are far quieter and feel sturdier to me. It's very meditative to hear the water lapping while rowing.

Join a co-op pottery studio before investing in a wheel. Unless you already have a kiln at home that you haven't mentioned, a wheel won't be very practical.

An exercise device but I read your post too fast and realized you are looking for yourself, not asking if we could just get anything. They are great strength training devices. But just cost a fortune and pilates lessons are pricey also. So having the equipment at home would be amazing. But as you can see, very pricey for the legit deal

Unless you already have experience with throwing pottery on a wheel, I wouldn't recommend getting that. I thought I'd love it, but I found it really physically uncomfortable to use the wheel. I still love making pottery, I just do it by hand, no wheel needed. If you haven't set up a pottery studio at home, there's a long list of non-wheel stuff that would be good for that.

Nice suggestions! yeah. I previously got some BIFL Nick’s boots made in the Pacific Northwest near me. They are the last boots I’ll ever have to buy probably. Incredibly happy with them. I use my insurance for eyeglasses. Thankfully browsed this subreddit and got an all metal bed frame that is going to last and the mattress still has 10 years in it.

Why? A pottery wheel is a tool - if you’re into pottery you want something that will last and help you throw better. I think it makes sense to buy BIFL tools. But, in my case I was hoping to find a pottery wheel for cheaper and possibly get an exercise bike.

And yes, the 3rd one is a very full featured synthesizer/keyboard.
