Re: SIMON LEACH -Rolling a rim

[@kenrg]

Cool! I love seeing how different types of mediums or media are made. Thanks for returning to YT for a change of scenery.

[@marihani]

I truly appreciate it. Also because I can then easily lift the pot up and check the thickness to see if I can shape the outside just a little bit more, for example.

[@GiffinGrip]

Thanks Marihani! Great, descriptive video. And thanks for straightening out the Griffin confusion!! ha.

[@marihani]

I'm so pleased that you found this video! I had forgotten it was here, to be honest. But you have proved that I did right in leaving it. I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@GiffinGrip]

Awesome! Yup it's amazing what happens when you post things and forget about them! Would it be ok if we share it on our website (in a "videos by potters" section)?

[@marihani]

+Giffin Grip I would be honored to have my video included. You can add this comment from me, if you like: Summer of 2016 and I still have that first Giffin grip and use it always when turning my pieces. This thing is indestructable. One of the (if not THE) best investment(s) I have made for my workshop!

[@GiffinGrip]

Um, this is pretty much the best comment we could hope for... Thank you

[@GiffinGrip]

Can we quote you in a print ad?!! :)

[@fehquig]

Never heard of a Giffen Grip. I guess you learn something new every day, even if it's about eight months late :)

[@marihani]

Hi Minni! Good to "see" you too! If you want more of my pottery, just pop over to LV. I posted 2 more videos there today.

[@marihani]

The art definitely goofy, anyway! LOL! Before I got to the Rim part, I was trying to think if hubby was playing his music at full blast again! HEhe! Much lub right back atchya!

[@marihani]

Sadly, yes, it is more expensive than you would expect a few bits of plastic, metal and rubber to be. You might check E-bay for a used, one, though. They are very solidly made, so not easy to wreck it, even with lots of use.

[@MamereClaire]

Very interesting, but is it very expensive?

[@marihani]

And thank you for saying so :-)

[@marihani]

LOL! I've posted this both places, but I don't think Simon goes over there, so I kinda had to post it here ;-P Go watch Simon's videos. Even if you don't do pottery, he really explains things well, so you can see more of what has happened to the pottery you see around you. Good to see you, Ken!

[@joealanouf]

i want one of thoughs. i dont have much of a problem sentering. but their are day wheir i tihnk. maaaaan i got too much to do for me to have to take the time to senter . but oh well i do it farly quick but i wouldlove to have one of thoughs things you have.

[@marihani]

Hadn't thought of that! But you are right! Now I won't be able to NOT think of that! Hehe!

[@marihani]

The only thing that's wrong with your grip is that it isn't sitting flat down on your wheel head. When you fix that, I am sure you will be much happier with it :-)

[@joealanouf]

i just checked them out, their not cheep. 139.00 bux. ill save. also, im a fan of simon leach too. hes liveing my dream. ill get their. have a wunderful day joe

[@NancieNeal]

That bottom reminds me of a sand dollar. :)

[@marihani]

It is such a treat, especially if you aren't an expert centerer like Simon. You won't regret saving up for it! Have a great day, yourself! Marianne

[@marihani]

LOL! THAT was supposed to keep you interested! Naaaa - I think I'll make a fire in the fireplace again. What do you think? ;-)

[@marihani]

Hi Richard! Haven't been keeping up too well lately. How are you doing?

[@marihani]

Only way to become an expert potter is to POT! no - not THAT kinda pot - NOR that kinda pot! LOL! I haven't made a relax video in a long time. I'll make one especially with you in mind very soon! HUGS!

[@marihani]

Sure! But you need to bring your own beast rug! Hehe! Want me to leave tbe room for a bit as well? ;-)
