I just re-watched this for the "umteenth" time! It's kind of relaxing to watch... I'll get the hang of this someday ..lol!

wow your so talented, but do you make the cuts before or after the pot has been fired? I'm new to all this so just wondering

You make that look too easy :)

yea ur free hand work are amazing. u must have done several dozens of these. yet another nice peice of work. I was wondering if you have ever done sinks? out of porcelain or something.

Do you do any measurements of the shapes so you don't get one funky sized one toward the end? and if so any tips ?

Dan you make this look so easy! I have tried making these, but i need quite a bit more practice. I notice you havent taken the pot off the bat yet. I see how this would keep the pot steady with less handlling. i will try  it this way next time. I enjoy your clips and have learned a lot.

Thanks! Sue.

You're right.

Keeping the pot on the bat really helps.

When I 1st tried doing this I cut the pot off and it went all over the place,so I just cut it off once I've finished.

Thanks,Dan.
