Thanks for this - I am looking into a bluebird myself and wondering if this is the larger or smaller version, and if you're overall happy with the results. I've got a small space a lot of reclaim Thanks

Thank you, to see finished works, check out my website if you like: trevoryoungberg.com

Very good and satisfying by the way what was it's look after drying. ❤

Thank you very much for the demonstration. I grew up through my teen years on the Hopi Reservation. I learned about pottery from my adopted Ami family. My parents and i would go out and find clay and refine it for my grandmother and aunts. I miss those rimes. I am 52 now, and the home i found in Brooktrails ca has many springs. There is ancient blue clay i am planning on trying to refine and use.

Sensational!

Good morning Dwayne, thank you so much for your kindness. I'm happy to know that you find value in what I'm sharing. I've been thinking about documenting classroom demos for a while and decided to just go for it. This makes me feel as though I should keep doing it. Really cool of you to reach out my friend. Take care brother and feel free to reach out anytime, Trev

You have beautiful skills friend. It's enjoyable watching you make things happen. I've enjoyed learning about this most ancient of human occupations.

The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

Super cool! Love watching these kiln builds. Whats that mixture that you put down for the floor of the firebox?

This is amazing.

Amazing work! The rock wall was such a neat idea.

Awesome

Really cool project, thanks for sharing. If you documented this on a blog or website or something I'd love to read about :)

What about drainage?

Thank you Trevor and to all the hands that made this such a fabulous firing. So appreciative to be able to partake in these firings!

Amazing job! the yakisugi tech is such an amazing effect and it fit well with the look of the house. the editing was really nice too, the music oddly fit the theme of the video.

Dragging the logs in the dirt? Very hard on the blades , could use a log wizard and clean off the entry side and save the blades.

very cool! what is your camera rig ? is it a drone???

That’s cool

I never use my clay/ceramic bird baths in the winter. The constant freezing at night and thawing during daylight will cause ceramic bird baths to disintegrate much sooner than they should. I use a heated, white, plastic bird birdbath in the winter but I don't fill it up too high because the water on the lip will freeze. I thought the heater had stopped working until realized I was filling it too high. But I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and people in warmer climates probably don't have to worry about this. I try and look for white bird baths. That makes it much easier to tell if the water is dirty. I keep a tightly wound strainer hung-up near the bird bath and use that to clean very minute debris and birdcrap out of the birdbath between changes of the water. I change the water at least once a day. Some species of birds will crap in the water on a regular basis.

Nice, how much clay? I used 15 lbs.. Really nice wheel you have there.

Adopt me...hehehehe Nice job

Your left leg must get tired. Any way to use the right one or do you walk around with a limp?

Invest in a tractor

so i made it too . just by using WoodPrix scripts:)

哈哈

Cool video! Nice treadle wheel too. Did you build it?

hi Jill, thank you. working out of Woodbridge, Connecticut. thank you for your interest. will post some new vids soon ;)

Wow Trevor, that is a great bird bath! What state do you hail from?

Are you flying a drone with a camera for this footage?

Hi Chris, Thank you, I use a fork to score the adjoining sections (concave meets convex lip). No slip as the pieces are soft. Just make sure to compress the clay during initiall pull through the seam. Also, keeping top section slightly tapered from base to lip helps......especially when the top/second section flares slightly when thrown when inverted for placement on section #1....the taper of the sections align to form a monolithic two section cylinder. Have fun making your planters and I'd love to see your work and continue corresponding! Happy throwing, Trevor

Trevor, wonderful piece. My question, when you connect the two pieces, do you score and use slip, or not? I've got a friend who wants me to make 4 similar planters for her. I'm not sure if I should use your method or make them using extruded sections?

Very cool

Nice work! The angles are great, as is your use of the timelapse segments. the music is awesome!

Yes, it's patterned after the Leach Design...made by a woodworker. I purchased it from the original owner (at a significant discount). I bet Simon's wheels are super nice.

Is this a Leach design treadle Potter's wheel. Looks like what Simon Leach uses in many of his videos.

good video

Gonna have to try this!
