Testing a 1970s POTTERY WHEEL KIT?! - Will it work?!

[@ashleymariex03]

A kit from the 1920s?! Talk about retro!! I’m definitely voting for craft kit C!! 🧡

[@reshanarajendran5229]

Next time please put the vote in the i card it saves time for you to not tally and its easy for us viewer thanks sarah

[@venuso6260]

Commenting on videos acts as interaction on videos which helps her (and youtubers in general) a ton! I very much respect Sarah's decision on making people vote in the comments

[@reshanarajendran5229]

Venus O I agree but when she says I didn’t tell you every single one she could just do it automatically so yeah Also it’s more easy for us viewers

[@venuso6260]

@@reshanarajendran5229 I agree with that. Maybe Sarah should tell us to comment but also put the vote in the i card

[@SoCraftastic]

I've used the card poll before, and it doesn't tell how many people participated in the voting. That doesn't sit well with me, because what if only 20 viewers happen to vote there? That wouldn't be a fair representation of the audience's voice. When I watch KZbin videos on my phone the icard & end screen features don't show up, so I don't believe it works across all devices. Finally, as Venus O mentioned, interaction can help videos to be recommended more by YT. The reason I did not tally all the votes in the previous craft kit test is because the winner was very clear! There was no way any other kit would have won, because Kit A was so far ahead & I was still seeing votes for it as I scrolled. I am open to extending voting to the community tab and my social media pages though.

I’m a 70’s kid and I had this very kit around 1981. I was so surprised and excited when I saw your opening it!! Watching you working with it brought back so many memories... and I also remembered that it had exactly the same problems that you had now! The wheel would not turn. Thank you so much for this! I always love your content but this was very special to me. All the best (-:

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed! Thank you for watching. :) Was not expecting to hear it didn't even work for you when it was new!

I vote for Kit C!

[@bunbun25055]

I vote for kit C! It looks so interesting, especially if it is indeed from the 20s!!!

[@wildeflower210]

Sarah Madlock Thank you for being the first person I've seen commenting on here with the common sense to figure out that Kit C is the one from the 1920's. I was almost starting to question myself, as I've seen comment after comment refer to Kit B as the oldest one. I thought it was pretty obvious just by looking at them , but apparently it is not.

[@bunbun25055]

@@wildeflower210 I have learned that common sense is indeed not common lol. you aren't alone. =P

[@kiyo6582]

What about taking one of the eraser replacements from a mechanical pencil? You could stab it onto the piece, shape it to size with an exacto blade, and then glue it on with super glue for added security.

[@KatyVaughanArt]

I vote for the 20s!!! Also this is not a let down at all!! The whole point of testing is to see if it works still. It's not your fault that it didn't. I found it really interesting when you were trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Keep making these videos please 😊💕😻

[@Whitney_Sews]

We made pinch pots in high school art and I was so much fun! We had to make the finished pot look like an animal so I added legs (only three) and a trunk and ears so it looked like a funny elephant named tripod :)

[@Tezzica]

There’s no need to apologize for it. Older kits are expected to have some dilemma. I’d love to see the older kit as well. It’s interesting to see the difference between a modern and older one.

[@itz_alice_chan4385]

I like that the manufacturer encourages the kid using it to keep trying we need more people like that in this world and more manufacturers

[@SoCraftastic]

Yes, the message they included is wonderful!

You should do the compact magic paintbrush

If you can find a set called Fresh & Fancy (also from the 80s) you should test it. I'm 45 but it was my FAVORITE thing ever. You got to make your own perfume and makeup it was the best lol

[@crystalb4178]

Considering that this is a craft channel and the crafts are kid friendly, this young girl (who by the way is an adult) no doubt has tons of subscribers older than her including ones old enough to be her grandparent. Because there are parents and grandparents who are always looking for craft ideas to do with their children or grandchildren.

[@KraftyKreator]

Interesting ideas on how to fix it, still very exciting kit. Thanks for the video!

Why not use eraser clay? That might stay on the pin and work...

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

As a child of the 70's, I remember those. The idea was good, but I found them discouraging. That being said, maybe a small rubber wheel from a Lego set would work on the motor shaft. Although I don't comment much, I am enjoying this series of tests! I think you are doing a great job. It would be so cool to see you check out a pottery workshop and try some of those wheels. There are probably some local pottery clubs or workshops in your area. I think you'd really enjoy the process once you get the technique. Based on what I've seen you to be capable of artistically, I think you could create some pretty awesome pieces. ... And it would make for some great videos!! Cheers!

[@SoCraftastic]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying this testing series on my channel. There will be a lot of cool ones coming up over the next few months. I did take some ceramics courses in college, but I'd love to look into a workshop or weekend class. I even thought about getting my own professional wheel & putting it in the basement. However I'd need to find a place to fire my work - not sure that I would get my own kiln.

[@boopeep9670]

Coloring With D Those bands are a great idea. Easy to adjust the thickness by how many she uses. Good grip. I hope she sees your comment. Make another comment and make it the first sentence so it is easier to catch her eye. Good job brain storming a solution! I have one of these in my garage. If my band is broken I’ll try your idea. Haven’t looked at it in years.

You can try SUGRU in place of the rubber piece. Its great because its sturdy and you can easily shape it to the shape of the old rubber piece. It just takes 24 hrs to cure.

First of all I love your videos! Personally I would try making the little rubber nub out of hot glue! Hot glue from a hot glue gun is so versatile I swear lol. And it has that rubbery texture that should provide a little traction for the wheel. Also I vote for Kit C!

Thank you! I didn't even think of hot glue. I will give that a try.

Having horrible flashbacks to childhood watching this video! LOL I had a very similar wheel from the Sears Wish Book back in the late 80s, maybe? It never worked properly. I can't recall if we sent it back or if it just ended up in a discard pile. Loved watching this video!

[@SoCraftastic]

Haha Oh no! I thought it would have worked better back when the wheel was brand new. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching.

[@DreamWalkingAngel]

I have an idea to try to use a pencil eraser by cutting it off the pencil and hollowing it out with a dremel . I hope it’s a good idea. I know you need something longer so maybe you could do two and glue one on top of the other before putting it on.

[@jaycegonzales2303]

Use hot glue too make the little rubber part and it hopefully will work. Cross your fingers that it works

[@scraggledy]

I have a few suggestions for the rubberized piece on the drive... you could try shaping a piece of VINYL eraser to fit over it... i have a few other ideas if you need them!

[@SoCraftastic]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@glennaharris1536]

Take the rubber piece to the hardware store and see if they have anything similar or rubber washers the size you need and glue together if you have to, to make them tall enough or fit around that piece. There is also rubber tubes for electronics that are hollow and slide over something, you heat it and it shrinks to fit.

I was just going to suggest a rubber band but I seen you tried that already. Awe that's disappointing. But it is old. If you kept everything intact and never opened it. I wonder if it would if been more if a collector's item. And worth alot of money. But the sponge disintegrating and that piece not there. I don't know if the value would of changed it.

On your next kit. I like all the kits. So it doesn't really matter which one you do.

[@refridgedude1841]

I have a few ideas to fix that. You need something rubberized, like a small rubber roller. Also that motor need a drop of oil on the shaft. That's part of the reason its squealing so loudly.

A tip for the air dry clay : you can crush it down in to a powder and add water to it and it should go back to normal
