Thank you so much! I’ve had problems with using ribs. They were cutting too much into the base and literally cutting my pot from the wheel. Your technique here is really helpful.
Oh thank you so much for sharing that. It’s a bit scary at first starting these things and your positive feedback really helps. Thank you, I appreciate you! 🙏🫶
Wowow me encantó tu video. Que habilidad para levantar esos cinlindros!!! Me gusta mucho la idea de usar plantillas, sobre todo si vamos. A hacer producción. Felicitaciones 🎉👏🏼🌻
I love rib A, but I do struggle with it, as I lose center when shaping and occasionally the mug pops off the bat while I'm shaping it. I must not be making my base wide enough.
Hi! If the mug is popping off you’re probably right that the base isn’t wide enough to start with as the rib cuts into the base a fair bit it will lose adhesion when you start the undercut. If it’s pulling off centre it might be because you aren’t pulling all the way up the wall before stopping a pull but its hard to diagnose without seeing you throw. Keep at it and I’m glad you’re loving them despite being a bit tricky!
Hi, I designed and had these made for me. I now sell them on my website if you wanted to purchase a set. They are bioplastic which give a sharp clean edge that doesn’t wear. The link is in the description.
It might look bad but it’s really just an indent, and a finger can’t get trapped in it, it sort of skims over the top. It also usually fills with clay so I don’t even notice it.
With your wheel at max speed it will make it difficult for beginners to go trough the whole process you discribed .If the pot is not perfectly thrown at max speed it will become a blob :) Better slow down the wheel? Just sayn ;)
Hi Tom, thanks for watching and giving some pointers to other beginners. Personally I find if the wheel is too slow you will struggle using the profile tools but you’re right there is an in between each potter has to find for themselves. Some will prefer slower while others prefer it faster. I wouldn’t recommend profile tools to complete beginners, they are better as an intermediate tool as can be tricky!
would love to see more narrated videos from you, you're very easy to listen to and this was very helpful
Thanks for taking the time to let me know, I really appreciate it, more are definitely coming!
Nicely done! You’ve given me ideas and inspiration (new to throwing) the possibilities are endless!
Nice and clear instructions. Very good.

Amazing teacher. Looking forward to the next video!
That’s so kind of you to leave that feedback! I’m working on it! Just finished a big commission and YT videos are next on my todo list 😊
This was really educational. Thank you for explaining what you were doing and why, and what to watch out for. Of love to get a set of your ribs.
i just ordered the ribs! i cannot wait to use them in my next session. love your videos, excellent teaching!
Thank you so much for the order and feedback. I promise I’m trying to make more videos in between normal making.
I'm a new subbie🎉 and I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos! Your voice is lovely and I could listen to you for hours 😊

This was super helpful thank you!
What is the name of the sharp triangle shaped tool from the beginning? Looked quite helpful.
Hi, this is actually a trimming tool but I use it when throwing. It's from Sacra
👌👌👌👌👌
Muy bueno

Did you buy your profile template in store or made by yourself and is it wood ?

Any chance you offer digital templates of your ribs?
Hi, I offer these ribs as physical products.
very nice video and cool rib. You talk very quickly, might consider to slow down....
Noted! Thanks for the feedback. 👍
You know you can adjust the playback speed so then the voice would slowdown. It’s in the settings.
The openings around the inside throwing board look like you can break a finger!
