59. Using Hacksaw Blade Trimming Tool with Hsin-Chuen Lin

[arbitraryspirit]

Hey, I tried your method of making your own hacksaw trimming tools, however, mine seem to be flimsier than yours and flex a bit too much while I'm trimming. Is there a specific brand of hacksaw you prefer for making trimming tools out of? Another thing I've found I have trouble with is chattering with those tools I made: the chatter marks don't seem to be as deep on my pots and they appear to be on yours. Any suggestions?

how is the pot attached to the wheel?? do you have clay on the inside?

Please repost your video about making the trimming tool. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks and great educational videos!

@luv2diy Hi, if you type keyword "hacksaw blade" in Youtube's search box you should be able to get the video.

Do you give workshops and when will you be visiting Texas lol???

[hsinchuen]

@potterylady1 I am quite open for doing workshops. My sons have grown up, and now I have more time to travel.

@hsinchuen You should come to Detroit and visit Pewabic Pottery. Chrys Bonnay-Lewis is working the educational studio and Im sure she would love to have you do a workshop.

What kind of stone are you using to Polish afterwards?

[hsinchuen]

@TheDraindeimo Hi, I have been working with clay for nearly 30 years. I bought the polish stones in a rock store in the mall.
