It's apples to oranges when compared to real wheel thrown work. Not good or bad in and of itself, just different. Personally I enjoy throwing and do see this seems a lof of work for thi slittle pot. On the other hand if your hands don't work any longer, like Mr YosarianCat22, perhaps it's better than not being able to work in clay at all.

@AZFluteLady

Thank you watching my video.

[Redshift21]

Congratulations you've turned a skill into nothing more than machine work.

[AkiraYamada147]

Thank you for watching a video.

Your words encourage me very much.

@AkiraYamada147 '

I could watch your presentations all day long.

I am 61 years old and although I can still throw, my back aches like hell. Your system allows an alternative. Please forgive the comments comming from the throwers that are still young, dumb and full of come and have not felt the aging process yet. I am using your process as a tool to make duplicate items from the same clay batch for experimentation in Raku firing. Again, I thank you for the technique. Simple, and beautiful!!!

@YosarianCat22

I am very glad of your messeage.

Yamadasan,

I was hoping to see a new video clip. What are you working on these days?

So...this is what happens when fitter&turner takes up pottery....

[NashvilleClay]

The jolly/jigger is not new. It's a fast way to take the human out of the craft.

[albpoolshark]

i think this is pretty cool

[JenetteMonster]

Well thats just cheating... I guess everyone has their own thing but I personally don't like this at all...

Lame is right! As Mr. Yamada stated. . .

This is for those who are handicapped or too old to bend over a wheel for hours. What is lame is your comment and analogy. This is merely a tool to used by those in need not as an alternative to conventional throwing methods. You really should have completed watching the entire series. There are no large words for you to stumble over and you would have found Mr. Yamada's comments concerning this technique.Your thought process is lame Asianx7!

This is what I did Scott. I have thrown very large bowls using sealed partical board for the bat with metal hardware fittings and they work GREAT! My largest is 24" wide and 10" deep. I am now working on a variation on Mr. Yamada's theme by making a system that will join two bowls together with an invisible seam. (something I have never been able to master without countless 'flubs' that burn my time and Tee me off big time. I also like to carve my pieces more than I enjoy throwing
