I like your videos, I'm enjoying watching them ! They helped me a lot. Thank you :)

[thedeadgothanimegirl]

[themanyoufear1]

why do you need the hole in the lid

[sarab7070]

you made it looks so ezey

[RxLazor]

Im confused, my teacher told me to know put my thumbs in like you did at 0:16. I was doing it in class and he walks over and tells me u never do it that way. I believe u more then him but idk... Please respond

[youdanxxx]

@RxLazor There are no rules when it comes to throwing,so if your "Teacher" says you "never" do something a certain way then he's obviously not a very good teacher.

We all have different ways of doing things so just find the right technique to suit you.

Then show this video to them and ask them why you shouldn'd do what I do.

Cheers,Dan.

[RxLazor]

@youdanxxx Thanks!

[CedKale]

bravo!! what kind of clay do you use. it's so soft and easy to throw.

[Lakehurstdr]

As a child I used to watch my step-dad, who had a factory, make pots/saucers, ash-trays, vases and a variety clays of stuff. The coolest part was to watch him pack and burn the kilm

[MrThebest101]

Wow, you do a great job in anything you make!

[grat18]

I made one of these just the other day to be exact but i believe mine was a bit taller still fantastic work keep it up!

[theracketboys]

Very helpful indeed. As a beginner I'm struggling at the moment so thanks!

How do the orange batts work, are they magnetic?

[tealtear2]

for the lid since you made it separately, how can you tell the size from the bowl to see that it fits?

[AmandaPanda1966]

Hi Dan, I love your work!!!!

Where I'm learning pottery we make lids "up-side-down" - Like a little bowl/plate and then turn it. - Do you have any examples where you've used that method?

Thanks again for your incredible videos.

What is that thing that made the 'cutout' notch for the spoon?

[Learnadobe1]

Nice job with the porcelain, and you even managed to keep your watch clean.

[izlude2]

0:33 looks like a pipe from super mario. i supose you could paint it too and sell it with a venus fly trap growin in it.

[PyroJoArt]

I want your trimming tools! Where did youfind them?

[youdanxxx]

Well,you'll just have to make your own,like I did.

1/16" steel plate bent as desired then sharpened on a grinder.

And some old hack saw/fret saw blades bent to shape and sharpened to suit the job.

That's it .....none of these store bought expensive rubbish...LOL.

Make your own tools to fit the job you need.

[PyroJoArt]

That would be why I had not seen them before. I do enjoy making tools, stamps, etc. Store bought ones are expensive and tend to brake. Thanks for the info!

[guitarmthomas]

Wow, do you have any pictures of your tools, up close? I'd like to get a thought of them, so I can do the same. Seems like they work really well for ya! Lovely video, Thanks a lot!

[LadyValondra7]

Amazing. :) I really like it.

[DirtKickerStudio]

I am just memorized watching how you almost instantly created the lid. I just had to laugh.. because it takes me forever to get a lid right.

Very fun to see the process from beginning to end. Thanks for another great video.

[longbeforedawn]

Very nice.

Your use of your orange bats and the way you don't cut off the pot until after trimming/leather hard, completely eliminates the need to tap center.

Do you ever trim the bottoms?

[youdanxxx]

Personally I have never understood why people do trim underneath the bottom when you can't even see it ??

It just seems like extra work to me for no benefit.

I will sometimes do it on a one-off fancy bowl but for everyday usable cheap priced pots I never do.

Cheers.

[eagleriverpotter]

The bottom of most pieces thrown have an unnecessary amount clay at the bottom do to the wideness of the piece, and how thick the potter left the base. When I make a piece, I want to put my full effort and dedication into that specific piece. When the piece is fully finished, I want the viewer to want to pick it up, and look at it. Not only to see its beauty on the outside, but also so that they want to look at the bottom to see the artist. I sometimes don't trim either, but I do enjoy it.

[eagleriverpotter]

Ran out of room at the top, just wanted to say thanks for the videos and I enjoy learning from them. Would you be willing, or have time to take requests on what other people would like for you to teach/show us? If so that'd be great!

[youdanxxx]

But there's a big difference between me and you in as much as that I'm trying to make a living out of making pottery so unnecessary trimming of the bottom saves time and money.

If I was just making pots for my own enjoyment then I would take ages to trim the bottom etc. but trying to compete with all the imported Chinese stuff means it's impossible to spend time doing unnecessary trimming if I want to make any money out of it.

Cheers,Dan

[DirtKickerStudio]

I think it's awesome that you're making a living making pottery. That is my goal.

[digidante]

Certain objects are best with a elevated bottom, or a trimmed base. This helps with displacement of heat through the glaze. If the full surface is contacting another surface, heat escapes quicker.

How practical this is, who knows. I doubt it has much change, but it is part of what I was taught to believe.

Cheers to you and your work! I plan on working towards a pottery of my own.

[athlete9393]

@youdanxxx When I first started in my class, I put a lot of focus into it, but realized it was useless and was taking away from the minimal time I had to make anything on the wheel. So now I do a quick clean up and smoothing. I definitely agree with you on this.

[leeuw666]

verry verry nice work!!!!

grtz from Belguim...

[Alyzabeth01]

You have an amazing talent. Meanwhile, I can't seem to make anything but a lopsided bowl:(

[MamereClaire]

Thank you for sharing your craft. Showing the finished ,glazed pot is much appreciated by novice potter such as me.
