@CharlieBrown5240 I use a piece of chamois (non-synthetic), the kind you can get at any automotive supply store. That way you can cut it to the size you want and if you stick a fishing bobber to it, it won't get lost in your throwing water.

Actually those are particular bats made by Creative Industries, not Shimpo. Not sure if you noticed, but there are little nobbly tabs on the edge of the bat to help you find the holes for the pins more easily. The 3 nobblies tab is for the wider drilled pin set configuration (such as you'd use on a Soldner wheel), and the 2 nobblies tab is for the smaller diameter drilled pin set configuration (I *think* Brent wheels usually have their pins drilled closer together) .

You are excellent at pulling, but your centering always seems a bit off... regardless, great video.
-
Where would you get a leather for pottery - like the ones you use - in the UK?
-
@LostInTheFr3shAir When I throw I think it helps a lot for the bat to be a little wet so when you slap down the clay it sticks to the bat really well. :)
-
just a quick question... why do you put water down on the wheel before the clay? does it really help it stay on the wheel? is that the best method?

Thanks so much for the corner vases I can't wait to try them;-) If you get the 7"square bats made by the same company you should have no problem... at least they haven't bothered me.. yet;-) Have a great day! KM
