3:48 is that you Arnold?

How Stupid are Pottery People.

OMG 😂

Try this if the unevenness is front to back!!! Yes you can lean sideways, but it's impossible to even drop a centered hole when the angle is back to front!

Thanks!

Less personality please

Thank you, best tuition on centering

This is a great plate. Thanks for your excellent help working with clay

Spiral wedging

I want you to know that this video has helped so much with my practice. I am taking a local class and unfortunately the teacher kind of skipped over explanations of how/why and just said, okay here's how its done, go ahead. We didn't go over coning, which has been a game changer after teaching myself from your videos! The class is over a short period of time so the mentality was "I have to make something to fire and glaze before the end." I practiced the other night with the intention to fail my throws and walked away with a way better feeling than any other times of practice. Thank you again!

In general it is dangerous to heat distilled water in the microwave. It has no particles to bubble around so it might not start visibly boiling even if it is hot enough to boil. Then as soon as it is disturbed, like by putting a tea bag in, it can suddenly boil explosively, and super hot water can get all over your hand. Since you were just doing science and not making tea, and monitoring the water with an infrared thermometer, it’s fine in this case, but just a PSA

I come back to this video over and over, thank you for it!

3:48 had me snort out loud, it was so unexpected 😂😂😂

Yes Tim See, I liked it and it ran up as you went down. I saw the clay, it did what you asked it to do.

I had a nasty smarmy teacher..he ruined my zest for learning..a waste of money..then I bought a wheel and tried teaching myself..but...omg..why do I find it so hard? Im giving it another go because someone on the FB led me here 🤞

There's nothing like American humour. Nothing

Hi Tim. A follower of yours advised me that it doesn’t matter how you build the plate if it warps in the glaze fire. It’s about how you fire it and the build doesn’t matter. Can you point me in the direction of your video where you describe how to prevent plate warping via glazing and firing process only.

Still better than any teapot I can make 😂🤣

You're a gem !!😂

thanks for sharing. will be having a go at this next time im in class thanks

I’ve just discovered your channel, and LOVE IT. I’ve learned so much in so little time. I hope you will continue to post, and that your recovery is quick and complete.

Thank you 😁 great instructions ❤

Nice one Tim, I can see your clay is smoother than mine and softer but seems to go up just fine so it must be me. I will go have another go and try your volcano method

I like this view for learning. Why does top wobble when finished?

I'm gobsmacked! Great useful information. Thank you so much.

Very helpful video. I’m looking to put my wheel in a space outside that occasionally may flood a half inch. Is that foot pedal light enough to pick up after use?

I noticed that when you open a piece you make it very flat like a plate and then narrow it when you pull up the wall. Can you please explain the reason behind that? Haven't seen that before. Great videos. Thanks!

listen, i know this was april fools and all, but u need skills to do this joke lol im sooo rollimg off my pieces tomorrow just for shits and giggles

So the second way of coning the clay is more a way to actually "stir" the clay?

So why the hell do I see sooo few other potters here on youtube use this technique instead of the godawefull karatechopthingy?! I just centered my clay in 10 goddamned seconds instead of b.ssing around for 5 min and getting frustrated?!?!?!

Thankyou for your videos, I've been struggling with centering , off to my she shed to try again using this method.

Can you say why you would have to recycle that clay or dispose of it? What is the reason you could not just wedge it and use again?

omg not me watching this video for about the 10th time and only just catching you say that you hold your fingers directly across from each other when pulling, as opposed to the commonly taught inside fingers above s shaped situation. Thank you for this video, I'm keen to keep practicing!

I wish I could find this video earlier 😊 Very helpful… Thank you Prof!!!

My instructor saw me pulling "directly cross from another" and said this was my problem with raising. Inside fingers should be higher than outside. Is this true? Many lessons with little good instruction

I wasn’t even the one centering the clay and realized I had stopped breathing watching that part! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

This was great information, thank you! Sorry if these are stupid questions, I am new at doing this, how come you can paint and stack them together? Is that underglaze paint? What kind of clay did you use? How to know what kind of clay can be painted for bisque firing? Thanks again!

The other april fools video about the teapot messed me up. I couldn't sleep after seeing it. Thanks for clarifying (maybe).

Putting the handle on top... doesnt that make it harder to get the lid off???

It's still such a good video to refer to after 5 years. Thank you for the good video!😀😃😄

I can center the top half of the clay. I can't never get the bottom half centered.

Just started pottery. Seen about 20 videos. This one is the best! Keep making videos buddy, I want to learn from you

Very cool! 😎

Thanks, Tim. You have a lot of sponges there. I don't think I ever have quite enough.

Thanks,Tim!!!!!
