Removing Pots From the Wheel

[@franka9161]

Amazing ALL your videos very clear informative and not annoying 😂. Most of the KZbin instructors try to be funny. You actually are funny.!! And you are real good as well. Keep it up!!

[@moragweatherhead1794]

That's the first time someone has shown me how to use the knife. Thanks Tim

[@BobbyLyman]

Thank you so much for the demonstration on how to use the wooden knife. I've been screwing that part up for a while now! If possible, would love to see how you do it on a bowl. Thanks again!

[@slgray9446]

Tim you make it look so easy. Will try!! Thanks so much

[@marthahunter7096]

THANK YOU! I've been looking for this exact demo for a while.

[@smerdoninbrawley]

Thanks, great video. I waste a lot of time stiffening my pieces up with a heat gun and still tend to mess them up. I'm going to try it your way!

[@lunarribbon917]

Thanks for all these beginner's videos, very helpful and informative and your voice is calming!! Also enjoy the patience and your step by step way, just started taking pottery classes and using the wheel so this is reinforcing everything :)

[@fishjackass]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been using my tool all wrong and as a result quit using it, now I can go back to using it and getting great results.

[@dianwilliams2919]

HeyTim,I just come across your videos. They are so much help. Thank you so much. You explain things so well. I’m enjoying watching every video. Thanks again, I’ve got a renewed excitement.

[@catrmr8]

This was very useful! Thank you so much for all the concise information 🙏

[@bettytaylor9430]

Awesome, now I know what I've been doing wrong. When I try to remove the skirt from the piece, it always goes up against the piece I just made. Soooo frustrating! Thanks for the tips!

[@sonidosrelajantes901]

i didnt even know the right words to google- but this video is just what I needed! thank you so much!

[@Hud_Adnan]

Thanks for this great collection of tutorials, dude you should do more

[@justpuppies9161]

In my throwing class I use a bat and take my pots off when they're a little less "fresh". I feel the judging eyes on me all the time :/ This will definitely be something to practice. Thanks for going through it!

[@timseepots]

You will get it!

[@binayakmalu3252]

Dude ur awesome make more videos Plzz... love them

[@therabbitswhisper]

easier then the way my instructor showed me, thanks

[@-Oddish-]

This has been one of my biggest obstacles somehow, can’t believe I didn’t think to scrape the sides

[@sofiamesa6156]

Very helpful! Thank you :)

[@christinediaz7077]

Best intro song.

[@blazingcontinue4693]

Thankyou so muchh^^

[@0211brucetube]

Ah I think my problem is that I don't remove the excess slip with the rib tool, so my piece is still really wet when I pick it up and it warps straight away. Thanks for the tip

[@kenblack7039]

Thanks for the excellent demonstration. How do you remove a moderate bowl? 8 to 12 inches wide

[@timseepots]

Ken Black those I keep right on the bat

[@ScottMcCormick12358]

Love the "snowbank" clay removal technique! Have you tried 6 inch hydrobats from the Ceramic Shop? They help the pot dry very evenly because they suck moisture out of the bottom of the pot. When approaching leather hard, the pot pops of naturally without having to be cut. Thanks for your video!

[@timseepots]

Scott No room for that amount of bats when you throw 40-50 pieces.

[@ScottMcCormick12358]

Have you ever tried the hydrobats?

[@timseepots]

yep, hey were heavy, took up a lot of space in use and when stored, and Irimm pretty much everything I make so a flat smooth bottom was never a need.

[@ScottMcCormick12358]

I don't need a flat, smooth bottom, but I do like that the bottom has similar water content as the rest of the pot.

[@debbiesilvan8325]

Where do you place it after you pick it up.

[@timseepots]

I put them on what’s called a ware board. Normally a board will fit about 8 mugs. They are made from plywood.

[@noalbalint3900]

what happens after you finish a piece? trying to recall from my lesson last summer: - let it dry until leather-hard - put it upside down on the wheel with a little bit of water to create a seal - trim excess and create a foot - bisque fire - sand off lip and abnormalities - put wax on the foot (and anywhere else you want not glazed) - glaze - fire anything else I'm missing/forgetting in the lifecycle?

[@timseepots]

You can deal with the issues that would needed to be sanded at leatherhard or bone dry.

[@timseepots]

You don’t need to wax either

[@mtsafer]

I find a lot more success when you turn the wooden tool blade so that it is cutting through the clay, no pointing up.

[@timseepots]

Martin Safer well that probably is because of other things you are doing or not doing. You likely start above and move down and into the clay.

[@mtsafer]

You are quite correct, I then undercut it with a knife or needle tool so it cleanly comes off the wheel

[@swissarmies]

Missed the cat pic at the end :(

[@DunoonVanRijn-dx1hr]

Less personality please

[@timseepots]

@@DunoonVanRijn-dx1hr I’m gonna do things the way I do them.
