To be honest I can't comment on that. I've used this ancient old wheel since I started 20+ years ago, and never used any other. I wouldn't go for a kick wheel, but I'd love to have a cone drive wheel that you can make go really slowly for bigger stuff. Cheers, Dan.

Hmm. Okay, thanks for considering it! (love your work and seriously appreciate your videos)

As a Yorkshireman you should know I don't waste anything. All the waste clay goes back through the pugmill and is mixed with the bagged clay to make it softer if needed. All the sloppy stuff is collected to make the coloured slips. What do you do with your woodturnings ? Cheers, Dan.

youdanxxx I usually throw them in the fire cos they're crap! I've actually stopped turning and I've been using the lathe as a shelf for about 6 months but I'm going to get at it again soon. The problem with turning is that you fill the house with bowls and vases so I made a lot of pens in the last few months I was turning which are good fun and small. Circumstances here recently changed a lot of plans but I'll get back to turning soon. I'll be posting turning videos in the near-ish future because I'm being hounded by a couple of guys to do so. I wish I could reform wood shavings but, alas, it's not to be but I'm quite happy that you can reuse the clay because I don't like waste myself so I'll enjoy your videos even more now. Best Wishes, Brendan.

baconsoda I meant to say what do you do with your wood shavings not turnings.. I think you need to get a Wheel. Same principle as turning but you get your material in bags, damn site easier than seasoning wood.. Go on Bacon Potter !

youdanxxx LOL, shavings are dumped in the veg area to help raise the ground and make what I hope will be a pumpkin patch. I toyed with pressing shavings and paper pulp into briquettes but never really spent much time at it because the process was slow. If I went back to look at the press again I could probably make a better one using what I learned and other ideas on RU-vid. I would be interested in pottery but I don't need another hobby right now because I have a couple of other projects in the pipeline but more of those later.

on the lathe it is nearly complete- once a bowl is made on the wheel it requires trimming, bisque firing, glazing, and glaze firing.

Cybele Sylens You don't know til you try! Why not give it a whirl, it's fun :-)

You're right. I'll have to try and see. I mean I can paint and draw so maybe I won't be THAT bad with pottery who knows lol.

Cybele Sylens There ya go!! You're already an artist and creative, so who knows what you'll create with clay... it's all about the adventure ;-)

Cybele Sylens don't be too discouraged, it's hard at first to learn how to make pottery on the wheel but if you work hard at it, it can be learned.

He uses a wire attached to what looks like 2 rings. They vary in sizes so that you can remove bigger pieces like this platter

I've not really made any wide plates before but if it cracks while you throw it maybe the clay is a bit too dry, or if it cracks when it dries maybe it's drying out a bit to fast and you could cover with polythene to dry it out really slowly. Not sure, sorry, Dan

compress the rim a ton! That should help.

I think he said 5 - 6 pounds at the beginning? And I'm hoping I'm correct but it looks like a grey clay, the slip he uses is cobalt, he stated this in another video

Y mas encima que habla ingles

u 4 real ?

To keep the clay from cracking or drying out

Nationalist much? Lmao
