love your videos, thanks you these have taught me so much.

ok, so tap centering should only be done upside down right? I tried doing it right side up on my first coffee mug today, and it was horrid, never got it right. even if I did the rim was slightly un even and would have been really disaterous, maybe I should have trimmed the rim first, when I was throwing it, then today I could have tap centered it up side down. any thoughts on this simon?

Inspirational as always Simon
I am actually beginning to tap centre.
It's cost a bit in pots but hey.
great stuff
Thank you
You drive down the cone with your left hand rather than your right. Is there a reason for this?
Thanks again
Phil

how would you suggest trimming and centering pots with a narrow neck
Kliss114 3 years ago
Yes more tricky , you really need a chuck to put it in , which you can throw & bisq fire, to the appropriate size of your piece so that it holds the pot. Stick chuck to wheelhead with clay after centering it up .< SL

Simon,
When I am centering and I try using the method without the lumps of clay as you show here, I have a problem when I start to "turn" as you call it, the pot goes out of center and sometimes may almost fly off the wheel!! haha what would you suggest to stop this? the finger on the top? should i push harder wit that to keep it on the wheel?

hi- dampen the wheel head & the rim of the pot (not sloppy) .When centered apply a little pressure from above to help it adhere to the wheel head. Trim /turn with finger on the top 'just in case'. SL
