So looking forward to seeing your journey with this! I had construction done that tore up my whole backyard and ended up getting a TON of wild clay out of it (It has to be at least 8 5-gallon buckets worth, I haven't stored it all away yet). I've been scouring the internet on how to process and fire it ever since. The composition of this clay looks super similar to mine (I'm in NJ), really elastic and soft. It works so well with hand-building, but it collapsed when I worked with it on the wheel. Did you put any sand/temper in it? From what I understand, it could possibly help prevent cracking when drying/firing and also help provide structure so it isn't so floppy when throwing

Dang i honestly would have thrown it in the reclaim, good on you mate. Ill have to be more patient and maybe try this myself from now on

Thank you. I wish I had scripted this video. I do think it's a good buy and I put almost 100 hours on the motor in 3 years. I used it as a demo wheel for festivals and events because it was so lightweight. I don't think I was clear about how much testing I did on this wheel, but I'm glad people have found thus video helpful.

Saw your interview on Darkened Cyrus. Awesome convo. I wonder if adding something like | Pottery Basics | to the end of your video would improve your SEO? I'll definitely check out the rest of your channel. I don't do pottery but I have always enjoyed watching artists and craftsmen at work.

It was a lot of fun watching your interview. I will give that a shot, anything at this point is worth trying. Do you mostly do shorts? I have a buddy who will love your long-form content, retro, and perler is his life!
@LNN_Plays2 ай бұрын
@@ZebulonPottery I do a mix of shorts and long form stuff. I guess technically by volume I have a lot more shorts then I have long form content. I try to put the most time and effort into my long form videos. The shorts are fun because I can make content on something that I might not be sure I want to make a full video on. Then if it does good I might ad it to my list of long form video ideas.

Your die seems to be a simple piece of ply wood and well used enough to a wear mark where it meets the extruded. Have you tried putting a thin piece of rubber in the wear marks? The rubber should act as a seal and prevent the bleed out. You can probably take some liquid gasket maker like permatex and paint it on if you don’t want to cut a piece of rubber.
@ZebulonPottery2 ай бұрын
It's so much pressure that it tends to be more work than it's worth to try to prevent the blowout. I am planning on making a new die that fits inside the hopper to see if that helps.

Thanks for the honest review. It's so hard to justify spending money on a wheel to see if I want to pursue pottery, so its good to know that this wheel would be a great way to introduce myself to the craft at home. You mention that five pounds of clay is kind of the max limit. If I wanted to get into bowl making would this one be a good fit?

I really appreciate this video. I’ve been considering buying one of these wheels but most of the videos I find are people who just bought it and used it once. It’s nice to hear from someone who has had it for a long time. I just started throwing and only plan on making smaller things like mugs, little bowls, and other things that don’t take much clay. I am definitely going to buy one of these wheels now though, so thank you!

You’re incredibly skilled as always! I love the handle flair & the large handle being lifted upwards. The purple/pink color is gorgeous... I had a large handled purple coffee mug of yours that was my favorite mug yet I took it into the bathtub with me and accidentally knocked it over with the shower curtain. It was that awesome of a mug that I had to take it with me everywhere apparently. Lesson learned. I’ll have to visit your shop and get a new one soon! I love watching the process of the pottery being made and believe that it is encouraging to those who may want to learn themselves. It’d be nice to see more of your face for future reference.🖤☕️💜
