What a great video! Just wondering is the vinyl on top of bats just like book contact or something else?

Thank you so much! I have learned how to throw pottery from KZbin. I have found your teaching very easy to understand and full of ways to make it easier. I have been pulling using my knuckle and I don't feel like I have consistent control. I have seen many potters using a sponge and a pinch pull method. I've been wanting to learn this technique. Your video has made it clear what's happening. I can't wait to try it out. I'm really glad I found your videos. Thanks again for being so clear and not rushing through the instructions. I really hope you have a fast growing KZbin channel! Look forward to relearning and learning new things!

You are a-great teacher thank you

Thanks for sharing

Great jog

Sorry but I could not see how he was holding the scraper. Is the vertical part going into the lip? 😊😊😊

Great video. I enjoyed this series with a beginner. 😊😊😊

Thank you…. 😊😊😊

More talk. Where can I buy your pointer stand and pots? Thank you…. 😊😊😊

Please explain the pointer. Is it to measure for the height of the pot only? Thanks.

Awesome video. Thanks. 😊😊😊

I am 6 feet 2 inches in a wheelchair. What brand of apron do you recommend?Cotton, denim or? 😊😊😊

Have yoy ever made Bonsai pots? 😊😊😊

Thank you…😊😊😊

Oooo this is great:))) thank you! I don’t put any water into sink, cuz freaked out about consequences. As a results I have many small buckets all over my studio 🤪 your idea is a lifesaver 🙏🏻🙏🏻 saved to my Pinterest!

Thank you. 😊😊😊

Thank you so much for the heartfelt detailed response. You are so passionate it’s contagious and I thank you for that. The waste cycle is as deep and dark as space but if we all just do our own little part.. Thanks again. I do mix my own glazes btw!

I’m stumped. What purpose does it even serve?

Youve no idea the love i have for you!! Thank you

How is it used as a sink though? Seems like a great idea, I would just like to see how you use it.

Great to see your video. Beats me how you have so little water and slip etc. That's be the amount I produce in a week! Lolololol. 😂

Please subscribe If you find this video helpful or interesting. Subscribing to my channel really helps me move forward..

I really meant it, you are a whirlwind of ideas. (Second only to Churchill (;->) I am always impressed by your inventions.

As usual, great ideas most would never com up with.

22 shell? Bullets? 😂

Such a great video. Have been potting a while and recently have started to get into making my own tools. Your tips on recycling materials are especially helpful. Excellently explained aswell

Given that you know the shrinkage rate (10%), if you want to have an opening of 4 cm for a teapot (like yours) after glazing and firing, would you throw the pot to be 4 +10% = 4.4 cm? The question intends to ask if, in your experience, the shrinkage rate works equally regardless of the shape of the piece.

What are those round white plastic things called?

Great up cycling!!! Necessity is the mother of a lot!

You kept a kiln in a dorm room?! That is impressive.

This is great! Loved the video. It was so much more than just calculating shrinkage.

Very easy to follow details on the extruder. Thanks. Jeff just made your caulk gun design. Cheap and so effective. Well done Sir.

Love your videos Jeff, so so helpful many thanks!

I do have an ask. Can you do a similar video base around small to medium size bowls (instead of cylinders)? I make a lot of bowls but struggle with learning if there is a ‘production’ approach for bowls. Cheers

Wow. I am just amazed. I’ve spent a year watching dozens of conflicting videos, classes and home practice everyday… and you are the 1st instructor to breakdown, explain and focus your movements on exactly pulls #1, #2 & #3. And with sponge & knuckle variations. I can’t tell you how much confidence has been restored. So much effort I’ve spent trying to reverse engineer those three subtle (and of course hidden behind slip covered fingers, sponges, water, poor video angles and someone that feels they must demo it at full speed to show their prowess) but critical movements. And you focused on a ‘production potter’ POV. THANK YOU so much. I am litterally running to the workshop to throw 100 pots. 😊

Im a beginner, love your great, clear instructions.many thanks from the 🇬🇧😃

This is awesome! My wife has really gotten into pottery in the past year and I was looking for more tools to get her for birthdays, christmas, etc. I was "tapped out" of ideas seeing as I've been buying all kinds of pottery gadgets for her. Then I saw an clay extruder, but when I looked it up, geez, they are so expensive. Well, of course, I knew KZbin would give me some DIY ideas. This is a great idea! And, I think I have most of the materials in the garage to get this done without even leaving the house! Thank you so much! She's going to really love this; her cup handles have been coming out a bit wonky because she's been shaping them free-hand.

You rock!

As accomplished internet detective I can certainly conclude that this dude lives in British Columbia. 1. His accent. 2. His dog is fluffy. 3. Camera shake? Shivering cold? 🥶

Good advise!

I am happy to have found you!

I know where the "white elephant is. I am a home potter. I live outside of Tucson.

Love the dog

Wow this is so nice🙄 just as nice as you treat students

Looks and sounds exactly like the sad lonely man i imagined

thanks again! my first attempt at stand-throwing was awkward and less than successful.... your way seems much better... I'll be raising my Soldner tomorrow.

thanks for sharing.. questions re: standing whilst throwing.. do you lean against the back wall to keep your back straight? how are your legs positioned to work the pedal with your knee? do you throw at a constant speed? or does it vary?

I really like your videos. They are well thought out and you have an excellent teaching style. Not too wordy but you impart the need to know very well. You are more for the serious potter than the flutterers out there, which in my books is an excellent thing and great resource.

I don't know what it is about people who design and build yachts or sailing boats but they seems to be able to put their hand to anything. Very nice overview of where you work. Thank you

I really like your channel, Your knowledge is great. Watched several of your videos. You have a lovely speaking voice and a great way to explaining things. Would you mind if I offered a little unsolicited advice? (Ignore the following if you do mind) You have a great knowledge base, you don't need special effects or whatever the intro is, sparklers etc. Remember, the goal of the introduction is to capture the essence of ceramics, showcase the craft's tactile nature, and ignite viewers' curiosity to learn more about the art form. The visuals should complement your chosen music and contribute to a serene and engaging atmosphere. Your pottery is obviously well practiced and I would imagine beautiful from what little I have seen of some of your more ambitious quick flashes of finished products. While I don't mind a good guitar rift, I'm not entirely sure it fits with the subject... For an introduction to a video lesson on basic ceramics for example, you'd want music that is calm, soothing, and perhaps a bit reflective to create a comfortable and focused atmosphere. Here are some music suggestions that would go well with your video lesson: Acoustic Instrumental: Gentle acoustic guitar or piano instrumentals can provide a tranquil and introspective vibe, setting a relaxed tone for the lesson. Classical: Classical pieces like Erik Satie's "Gymnopédies" or Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune" are known for their gentle and contemplative qualities. Ambient: Ambient music with soft synthesizers and minimalistic textures can enhance concentration and create a calming backdrop. Nature Sounds: Consider incorporating sounds of nature, like flowing water, birdsong, or rustling leaves, to evoke a serene and organic ambiance. World Music: Soft traditional music from cultures known for ceramics, such as Japanese or Chinese flute music, can lend an authentic and cultural touch to your video. Minimalist Piano: Pieces from minimalist composers like Philip Glass or Ludovico Einaudi often have a repetitive and meditative quality that could work well. Folk or Indie Folk: Folksy acoustic tracks can infuse a sense of craftsmanship and simplicity, aligning with the hands-on nature of ceramics. Chill Electronica: Down-tempo electronic tracks with a chill vibe can create a modern and smooth ambiance for your video. Remember to keep the volume at an appropriate level where the music doesn't overpower the instructional content. The goal is to enhance the learning experience without distracting from the information being presented. Anyway... your channel you can certainly do as you please but as you did ask just after the into to leave a comment etc and music choice is often overlooked. Did I say I really enjoy your videos because I totally recognise your talent and skill and I'd love to learn everything you have to offer.... and I'm subscribed. If the above is too much I do apologise for butting in with my 2 cents worth. PS love the Outtro music and the pic of your pup is cute too
