Marihani... I posted a video response to this with my Giffin grip... as you can tell you can use yours better than I can mine. I don't know if I should love it or hate it. Sometimes I like it, other times not.
Anyway, you did a way better job explaining the grip on your video than I did on mine.
The only thing that's wrong with your grip is that it isn't sitting flat down on your wheel head. When you fix that, I am sure you will be much happier with it :-)
i want one of thoughs. i dont have much of a problem sentering. but their are day wheir i tihnk. maaaaan i got too much to do for me to have to take the time to senter . but oh well i do it farly quick but i wouldlove to have one of thoughs things you have.
I truly appreciate it. Also because I can then easily lift the pot up and check the thickness to see if I can shape the outside just a little bit more, for example.
LOL! I've posted this both places, but I don't think Simon goes over there, so I kinda had to post it here ;-P
Go watch Simon's videos. Even if you don't do pottery, he really explains things well, so you can see more of what has happened to the pottery you see around you.

Never heard of a Giffen Grip. I guess you learn something new every day, even if it's about eight months late :)

Very interesting, but is it very expensive?
MamereClaire 4 years ago
Sadly, yes, it is more expensive than you would expect a few bits of plastic, metal and rubber to be.
You might check E-bay for a used, one, though. They are very solidly made, so not easy to wreck it, even with lots of use.

I should be a pro at pottery by now after watching all your videos, but somehow I'm not :cP
Still love to watch them, although I don't understand most of the technical details, you voice is soothing and so nice to relax to ;c)
Muaaaaaaaa! :c*
