Query: Useless as a Pottery "Wheel"

If you manage to get the clay into place on the wheel, which is not easy, once the wheel starts turing,the carving blade simply pushes the clay off center and messes it up. There should be something in the bottom of the wheel to hold the clay in place. In a real wheel, I assume the weight of the clay holds it in place. But this small peice of clay does not have nearly the weight needed to hold it in place as the wheel turns so the clay just goes all over the table rather than being shaved into a circle. The only useful part of this toy is the clay itself, which your child can mold with their hands into whatever shape they want. Then they can decorate it and paint it after it is dry. I suppose that is worth some money, but the "wheel" part of it is useless.
