[@CharlieApples]

As a ceramics nerd, I’m amazed and confused as to why you went straight into wheel throwing without learning slab building first. Here’s how I would make plates the easy way: • The flat circular plate with raised edges is really perfect for this. Easiest plate type to make. • Use a rolling pin to flatten out a sheet of clay to the desired thickness for the bottom. Be sure to make it nice and even. • Tie a piece of string loosely to a sharp tool or pencil, and tie the other end tightly to another sharp tool or pencil. Hold the first pencil so that the tip is just barely touching the center of the clay and keep it there. Gently use the other pencil to lightly trace a circle by rotating it around the center pencil. Cut out the circle of clay. • Re-knead your remaining clay and roll it into a long, straight, thinner sheet. Measure the diameter of your clay circle and calculate its circumference. As an example, let’s say the circumference is 36 inches. So we would then use a yardstick or ruler to trace a 36 inch long, ~1 inch wide rectangle in the sheet of clay. Cut out the strip, score the edges of the clay circle you cut out previously and wrap the long strip of clay around the edge of the clay circle. Use slip to ensure that the clay bonds without a seam. Finally, round off the edges of the plate’s rim, and boom. Perfect circular flat plate with a raise edge. With zero wheel throwing.

If you're worried about a piece cracking while it's drying, try covering it instead of letting it open air dry. A lot of times when something cracks, its because one portion dried out way sooner than the other. It takes a lot longer to dry when you cover it, but it will save you in the long run.

Honestly though no hate for the Ikea dinner plates, or plates you've had for a while in general. One of my all time favorite plates to eat off of is still a piece of dinnerware my parents got from their wedding registry over 30 years ago, still use it very regularly. Great video as always ^^

"handmade ceramics are expensive" *proceeds to pay to sign up for a pottery course

[@ghosthunter0950]

Eating at home is definitely cheaper than eating out and it takes literally an hour to learn a new dish from zero cooking knowledge. Big difference

[@torakfett3351]

I love cooking from home! I’m disabled so it’s rough on my back so I’m using my machines to my advantage when I can. I use YT A LOT for recipe help and it’s been SUPER helpful! I’m not a very good baker though so I’m working on upping my homemade bread and pizza dough game.

[@hollyholly3172]

Exactly! I really don’t see the logic in it. Those people saying that are definitely eating out more than one meal a day too so how is it cheaper? I don’t understand..

[@rora9553]

I’m proud of you OP!

middle class? he admitted to spending thousands on a hobby. I guess I'm further down in society than I thought 😭

I can’t imagine how many enthusiastic couples they’ve had to shoo out of there.

[@Shorts-cq8su]

Eating a meal you made yourself on a plate you made yourself is a priceless feeling of accomplishment and pride, it’s not about money, if you value money over gaining a new skill and enjoying the fruits of your own hard work then you are poor in more ways than one

If you so much as hum three notes from that Righteous Brothers song, with God as my witness, I will come at you. With everything I've got.

[@sparkls4492]

What I've learned is that I should just buy plates for a few dollars from Ikea

[@nicevers]

What you paid for was an appreciation of the difficulty of the task. May you be blessed with a full set of dinnerware.

[@Banzybanz]

Eating out is NOT cheaper than cooking at home.

[@WillYazdani]

Do people actually think that eating out costs the same as eating at home? I can buy groceries for the week and easily spend less than 100 bucks. If I go out to lunch with my wife it costs like 50 bucks just for one meal and basically any restaurant.

[@getreal2592]

What? No. No one's talking about purely mathematical cost of dollars. They're talking about the cost of your time. Of course buying groceries is cheaper. Especially if you go to Aldi's.

[@Bilal_is_joking]

50 bucks for one meal?? A McDonald's meal wouldn't cost more than 7-8$ ,same goes for all fast food restaurants, maybe you're talking about expensive restaurants..

[@getreal2592]

@@Bilal_is_joking Yeah, there aren't a lot of Americans eating out at dine-in restaurants daily. Even the "cheaper" places like Applebee's will cost you at least 35-40 bucks without tip included.

My dad was a master Potter at a historical museum for 28 years, self taught. It's impressive how much strength, time, and patience it takes. He did a kick wheel, used all historical tools.

That “No Ghosting” sign tho 😂🤌

"If you can touch the clay, you can make the plate."

[@shrijanakikumar5561]

I remember reading a story where there was some issue with a ship and they hired this guy to fix it. He came and tightened up a screw somewhere and was paid thousands of dollars. When asked why to pay someone that much for just tightening up a screw, the owner replied that, it’s not what work was done, it’s about the knowledge of know what’s wrong and what needs to be done. I think it’s the same thing here. You now have a skill you didn’t have previously and the value of that is not measurable ❤️

[@coffeequoh5487]

If the plates are handmade and from a local shop, then it would be a worth-it buy.

[@chrishutchins8448]

Jono Pandolfi plates are all handmade by a small team in New Jersey, truly the best of the best
