Hi again from northern Japan, Vaughan! Your presentations are quite clear and informative, and I appreciate your generosity in sharing your skills with us. As for Nova Scotia, I've always hoped to visit, but in the meantime I am reading about the place via the stories of Alastair MacLeod.
Wow, that was so relaxing and fun to watch. I love all the personal words of wisdom you impart also. I always learn so much from watching your videos and I just had to watch this twice. There is something rewarding watching someone create such beautiful work. Then you said you were making 13 more, wow. I want a home studio so I dont have to travel to do pottery and be limited on when I can throw and how much I can make because of studio times. But I am grateful I have a good and fun studio to go to. Thank you again for another great video.
Just a helpful note.. I use old pieces off my mop that has strips makes beautiful rims! Love watch you work. I can’t center that much clay that easy but I’m still learning. You make it look easy! Love come Nova Scotia! Love ocean close studio.. sure gives inspiration going try make planters like you soon😊❤️ thanks for sharing !,
Vaughn, thank you so much!!! Great to hear your thoughts when it comes to throwing larger pieces :) You are wonderful, thank you again for addressing my comment and making a video!
Another great video, question? If your fingers dry out during a pull, can you stop to add water and then finish off the pull, especially when throwing a taller pot? Thanks😊
Good day Mr. Smith, I'm enjoying recently your inspiring and instructive videos. I have a question about firing heavy , large pieces. How to prevent them from cracking when bisque fired? Coils , sand , cookies under the piece? Thank you if you find time to answer me.
If they are made well cracking is unlikely as long as the kiln is fired correctly. The kiln needs to be fired very slowly, especially from 1020F up to 1145F. That is where the silica changes its structure. I even cool the kiln slowly through that temperature range.
Remove splash pan and use an 18 inch bat. If I were really organized I would have made a taller chuck, then I would bisque fire it and have it for future pots. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. Noticed the video is dated April 2020.. was just curious as to whether you still believe in this covid business? Thx again for the video. Very good job!
I had it twice, the first time with no vaccine and it was nasty taking months to recover. Then in March this year with just a sore throat and cough that lasted 3-4 weeks, not as nasty since I had 3 vaccines in me. It has been funny editing videos to cut out the coughing and throat congestion. Mostly it made me short of breath for a long time but I have been bike riding again so hopefully mostly recovered. We did have a death in the family from Covid so I am taking precautions, better safe than sorry.
@@Vsmithpots stats clearly show that the flu has been killing ppl and a large amount of people for years, this is nothing new, they never took away our rights or isolated us before covid. I think there is more to it than just covid. Glad you are doing fine.
