Thank you Mr. Leach. I appreciate your craft and commitment to keeping alive your father's great work and yet made it all your own as well. What a legacy. I appreciate it sincerely. Nothing is so enjoyable as an afternoon crafting History today.

Wonderful! Missed you, Simon. Life took me away from your wheelside but I am back and delighted to learn how to "throw an egg"...without the mess! Thank you for the lesson and keep throwing to the sounds of Chris Smither. Always a gift to hear.

I’ve been following for a very long time. The algorithm took me away and it’s like returning “home” to hear your voice. And now I have to go throw some eggs. :) thank you for still being here.

[@sleachpots]

Yes still here Lisa ! We carry on practicing :)

I love doing enclosed forms. I haven't done an egg before but do want to do them.

European robins are smaller and a little different in coloring than the larger American robins. They’re so cute, I love the little European ones! ♥️ Totally different birds though.

A very refreshing and laid-back video Simon and love the music in the background. I would love to see the egg Rakued 😊

Great instruction for us once again. Thank you Simon! My biggest question is: What are your neighbors doing with their chickens to get double yokes?

[@sleachpots]

I would have to ask them that, not sure :)

[@BurgardPottery]

So glad you decided to do an egg! I was just thinking this since Easter. I do have a question and thought you might have an answer. When I enclose a form and then cut it open for a lid it usually gets some type of crack on the inside of the lid. It has never caused a failure of the lid but would like to throw without it cracking if i can. Any pointers? I understand if it's to much for a post. If so, maybe a video topic?
