How tall ?

Thank you. Nice demonstration, beautiful bowl.

I’m currently in my second semester of ceramics at college, and I threw my first six inch cylinder yesterday! I hope to make pots, vases, and jars with this much personality and character eventually, but, for now, it’s fun to just watch & learn from these videos :) Your work is very impressive!

Beautifully executed

I work in Grams

My next move is away hopefully closer to God

Very nicely slanted plate

How many pounds of clay are you using? How thick should the walls be before you start the belly of the pot?

I really like this shape, gorgeous ❤

When to use sponge and when to use the steel rib..any particular reason of using them?

Do you have any tips on keeping your wall thickness the same throughout so when you close it will be the same thickness at the top?

Beautifully done

How much clay did you use for your oil bottles

Yes she's cute!

I have tried that technique and haven't gotten it yet. It happens when I don't want it to though. Your technique is great.

Very interesting. I like how you throw against the flexed metal kidney. One difference I notice in the way you work is that you keep your clay much wetter than I do. I feel like my pots would collapse if I did that. What type of clay do you use, and are you near the threshold of the walls collapsing, or do you feel they have plenty of margin? Wonderful shape, I will work on learning how to do that. Thanks!

yeah...throw with sponge sponge are a big girl

Hi! I was wondering how you can get the base to also be round, i'm trying to make a spherical lid for a container and was just wondering how (or if) it's possible. Thank you!

PERFECT

So nice to see a potter be real about the reality of wheel throwing! A lot of pots fail during throwing, during trimming, or during firing. It’s just the reality of the art of pottery.

Hi. Why are you putting clay at the edge of your bat? Thank you

Some narration on what you're doing at each point would have been helpful. Still a good video though.

Thanks so much for this review! I’m currently taking courses at my local community college and I’m about to purchase one of these guys to make small stuff while I have free time at home. Real insightful

That was a great bit of throwing Could u advise me a little On pulling up the clay mine loses centre as it goes up, I'm struggling around 5" wonder if u might have advise

Nice work. It should go without saying but if anyone is making this for vinegar, juice, tea, soy sauce, wine... make sure the glaze is compatible with high acid or other caustic liquids. Any glaze with high levels of metal oxides or other ingredients like barium carbonate should never be used for acidic or caustic liquids as they can leach out of the glaze.

Absolutely stunning!! Thanks so much for showing your beautiful work ❤

How much clay do you take, please 🙏🏻?

I did pottery for 4 years in high school and was the art department honor student my 4th year. Class of 85. I just got back into pottery with my own wheel now. Your narration is what a guy like me needs. Please don't stop narrating. It's helping me. Thanks in advance. Your very very good bye the way.

You really know what your talking about man. Your narration is great.

Cutie

Wow, this a just beautiful! You are so artistic! This was a beautiful vase to begin with and spectacular when done!

I so appreciate you giving us this advice. Your prices are very reasonable. I have a lot of pottery I have done and want to sell. You are inspiring me to now get it done. You have such a nice voice.

I made a 7 pound bowl yesterday. It is the biggest I have made so far. It took me a whole lot longer to throw than you do. This is a great video, and my bowl shape is quite similar to yours. You do beautiful work.

Very helpful thanks for the transparency!

He is jacked and looks like the hulk when he reaches towards the camera

Wow you must like your ramen. That’s a large bowl or your clay must have a large shrink rate.

this was super helpful. thank you. (beginner potter here)

Love the end result but will not be suggesting this video to my students as the camera angle obscures your throwing technique

Cheers man, helps a lot to see in two angles, what you're doing with the hands at different stages

I was hoping for some commentary as you demonstrated - being specific as to the steps taken to round it out

very nice, i cannot pull up so often....

It's so satisfying to watch you throwing in real time, without quick cuts, annoying voiceover or sped up timing. Like, THIS is how long it actually takes to make this difficult (for beginners) form after you've mastered it. 👍

Great info! What is your price of goods for y to his kiln load so we can estimate your profit?

you live by a lake? what's the name of it, I guess you get plenty of rain? I liked the egg pot, well done. The vase is beautiful

Read the manual first dude! Less bogging if you have it spinning faster!

Do you have any other recommendations when it comes to bat systems? I’ve ran across Studio Pro & the Canadian made Bat Man bat systems, the latter of which is made in Ontario at a company called Amaranth (sp?). I have the 3D printed square that you reviewed here. I bought what was claimed to be 6” tiles tho in reality, their the 5 & 7/8ths. Out of the bat types I have, I prefer the Masonite type bats, altho I think I’d like regular cut wood bats if I could afford them. The plastic bats are the worse for me. I don’t like how they throw or how they feel on my hands. The trouble is many of my bats are warped from age despite being stored dry & sitting vertically. It is heartbreaking to see the price tags on bats these days. I might be more amenable to a higher price tag if there is a system that can stand up to a reasonable amount of time. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Awesome guidelines…thank you for your honesty!!

Very cool to see how you price it all out and how much value you can get in one kiln. My kiln is the same size. I'm just starting to get into selling. What tops do you like to use for your oil pourer pots? The whole load looks great!

I like the narration so that I can understand the methods used. Thank you 😊

thank you for this video!!
