@neonxblondie Or flick the botton/sides to hear how thick it is. A low "thunk" means it is thick, and a high "think" means it is thin. Flick it before you ever start trimming, and flick it a few times in the process of trimming.
Something i learned from my teacher is before you start, put thumb tacks in a straight line on the inside of the bown starting from the bottem and going to the rim, and when your triming if you hit a tack, that means stop trimming there, and you should get about a 1/4th inch thickness all around .
Beautiful bowl. I'm learning how to trim and it makes me want to cry. I'm so afraid of going through the bottom or the side of my bowl. I like your techniques though. Thank you :] <3

another tip is to use a needle and poke it through the bottom to test the thickness of the bottom!
