Thanks for discussing the size of the lid and showing the wobble. I see some potters who trim lids exactly to size and I always wondered about allowance for the glaze. Now I know and will adopt your technique. Thanks Vaughn.
Thank you for your calm, well thought out explanations. I have been reluctant to try lidded jars in the past and even though I have. watched multiple videos from others, yours is by far the best and I may even try one in the next few days. Really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. Gray.
What more could I ask for : Toasted oat cereal w/banana and blueberries added. 7 grain Italian bread from the Publix bakery smeared with Dundee marmalade, mug of Typhoo tea. All the while watching a video from LaHave Nova Scotia with a bunch of good pointers and a really good demo. Cheers and be well Vaughan...Freddie
Thanks Freddie. You are probably safer down there than here now. Our Covid numbers have exploded. I fired the gas kiln today for the first time in 2021. I will post a video early next week, mostly planters. I did try crash cooling the kiln from 2200F to 1900F, first time I have done that.
Fingers crossed on the crash cooling. I doubt about the safety when we have a governor who declares that all requirements for mask wearing are not required. Luckily a good number of stores are requiring masks and explaining to customers that they are following CDC guidelines. Some folk don't realize that getting the vaccines does not stop you from coming in contact with the virus and spreading it, so they don't see the need for the masks. Fingers crossed you won't be hit too hard in LaHave. Cheers and be well...Freddie
@@freddiemoretti8456 Good luck to you too. We had over 400 new cases yesterday in a province of less than a million. I think we will have curfews next week. Stay safe.
Video started out on a sunny spring day and ended in a chilly blustery day - regardless what it's like outside you bring a friendly warmth to the studio and homes of those who watch. Thank you for the information, time and care you take making these videos. I have seen photos of honey pots with the dipper attached to the center of the lid and you use the knob to lift - (whole up the into the knob from under the lid and attached). I don't think I would like using it but does solve the issue of ants and the whole. Although one would need to find a source of honey sticks with out the end wooden knob or cut them off to fit adding more time to the process. 🤷♀️. 🌺🐝
Thanks Christine. I got your message about etransfer but Mark Fury's office said we cannot do any retail sales. They do not want to encourage people mingling. Stay safe.
Good Morning, Mr. Smith. Could you please let us know where to get the recipe you use for the Ten Moku Gold glaze? Thank you for all you share with us!
Hi again from Japan. Beautiful work! Sorry, but I am a bit confused regarding "glazing the lids so they fit." It looks like the edges are not glazed anyway, so I would be grateful for any further clarification. Also, is there a way to see the sides and insides of the glazed lids? (Apologies if I am being obnoxious... The heat in my studio has made my head spin with the wheel... : )
The lids are glazed all over and fired on stilts under them. The clay body can go to cone 8 so it does not warp at cone 6. No problem. If you can send me an email I will send a photo back of the lids.
Hi Vaughan...when you fire these, do you use aluminum hydrate (mixed with China clay or not) to keep the lid from sticking to the body? I have yet to, but I find that the lid will chip and the chip be a permanent addition to the galley of the body even though there is no glaze touching. Please reply Regards
I fire the lids on stilts separate from the body, most of the time. I do on occasion fire them on the body but I wax the edges that touch when I do that. I think your clay body may be fluxing, causing it to stick. thanks for watching.
You need a pet ant eater. We have cats and they eat anything that crawls across the floor, then they look around wondering what happened to it. What a great place to live. I assume there is always a sea breeze and 25C-30C every day. What's the clay like over there?
Hi Vaughn! Thanks to your excellent teaching style, and awesome videos, I threw 9 of the tallest vases/bottles that I’ve ever thrown!! Thank you!!
Thanks and yyyyeeeeeeehhhhh!
I'm gonna steal that paper trick.
You are welcome.
Thank you Vaughn, what an awesome tutorial! Your step by step instructions are super helpful. Gonna run to my wheel & try it! 😁💐👍🏻
Just seen your comment, thanks and I hope you are getting better.
Very nice. Love the way you created the gallery. I'll try that next time I'm in the studio. You're an excellent teacher!
Thanks, no sleeping allowed in the gallery.

I just made 8 teapots with that same estimate. Stay safe.
Yeaaa, new video!!
Thank you, I have a doozy coming next week.
@@Vsmithpots oooh... cant wait
Wow a great way to do make a gallery!

Really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. Gray.
Just remember the lids almost always need trimming down a little to fit with a little extra space to allow for glaze build up in the shelf area.
wow! I love this way of throwing.
I am glad it helps you.

That's a good idea. I may try one. Thanks for watching.
Sweet! Thank you for posting a new video, I learn so much from your teaching style. Most of all hope y’all stay safe
Thanks Sally.
I love the birds at the beginning! They sound like they're laughing. Beautifully turned out honey & garlic pots! Groovy!
Thanks for watching.
Hi Vaughan, its great the way you teach. Thank you Claudia
You are welcome.
So nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
Beautiful!

@@Vsmithpots Thank you Vaughan, would love to purchase one of your beautiful honey pots, You stay safe as well.
Always so helpful and generous with your time and your knowledge. Thank you.
Thanks and stay safe.
Really enjoy your videos even though I've never made/or attempted to make pottery. Keep up the videos your public love them.
That means a lot to me, thank you for the comment.

I would like to know about your process for centering your pot on the wheel while you are re-throwing the lid!
Do you mean the Giffin Grip? It centers the pot automatically.

"Ants shouldn't be in the kitchen anyway" NOT true in Hawaii!
