I knit, although I don't use a yarn bowl, but your description of the way a yarn bowl works sounds spot on. They are beautiful.
Perfect, thank you for backing that up!
I had stopped trying to make knitting bowls because they always seem to warp, now i want to give it a try again using your method. Thank you for sharing
I hope it solves that problem for you!
Love hearing your thought process. The innovations you've shared, like using a car dent puller to glaze pieces, has helped me improve my practice. Thanks mate 👍🏻
I'm so glad you found them useful too!
@@OldForgeCreations question re: car dent puller. Do you have ant tips to help it hang on to heavier pieces? I wax resisted the bottoms and the dent puller is strong, but sometimes larger pieces plop off anyway 😬
@@ehloe. Not really, I'm afraid. Other than being both careful and quick, as sharp movements can dislodge it and the grip weakens over time
I'm really glad I saw and watched your video lets me know why and how of the possible clay warping and prevention. Brilliant!
Genius!
Muchas grácias
Great great
Another excellent video. How big are the bowls?
Excellent, very helpful! One question: at the beginning of the video you say you carve before trimming the bowl. What is the reason you do it in that order? I would be afraid of putting too much pressure on the bowl while trimming..
This is only the 5th or so bowl I've made, so it's still a process in development. My logic is that with the rim intact it's still quite strong and I prefer the rim to be drier than the foot when trimming. It allows me to avoid warping the rim when gripping it while the foot is still a nice dryness to trim. That means the timing for the carving works better for me before the foot trimming, but that might not be the case for everyone else
you are quite adorable, if I say so myself, and I do 🤣 just kidding iI love your work and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us ✌
Can you not make a template of the area you want to cut and that way you can ensure the spacing is correct - i would use a soft plastic material? You would still draw around it but would be maybe more accurate?
That's crossed my mind, and would be a great way to go if you're making many to the same design.
Gazuntheit.
