Throwing a Dinner Plate on the Pottery Wheel

Those masonite bats are my favorite, also. Stored upright to dry and it reduces the warping almost to none at all. But when they do, the bats will tend to bow outward from the middle on one side. What I've found is you can correct even really bad warping using differential drying. First, thoroughly saturate the problem bat, then place it to dry upright next to a wall with enough room for air to get around both sides. Be sure the part that warps up is faced towards the wall. This is important. The more exposed side dries faster, which pulls the warp in the other direction. It should now be very flat again. I've maintained the same batch of bats for years this way.

Great video. I appreciate your demoing some of Troy’s tools. I bought a few of the ribs based on an earlier video you made and like to see how others are using them. They are very nice tools.

Awesome! Thank you! Troy does make some of the highest quality ribs and brushes out there.

thank you! i never really understood why the word compression is used, i feel like i'm low key wedging when i'm setting the bottom of the pot

[@lindermanpottery]

compression... just a really big misnomer...
