Great work! I started throwing a year ago, so I'm still figuring stuff out, and I've been watching your videos for about 6 months now to watch other's techniques. Your speed and presicion will always impress me!
Dan, you make it look easy. Have you ever made a match holder with a strike plate? I was thinking about trying one along the lines of your flat sided wall pots.
We don't have much interest in match strikers or ash trays these days but I suppose if you left a part rough and unglazed it would be ideal to strike a match on. Thanks.
Hi Dan. I know you say it's easy, but i can't draw a straight line with a ruler! Lol 😂 Love what you do good buddy...Awesome! 👍 Takes Care, Andy & Karen. 😎
i cant tell how much i love potting! and i love wood work... i dont really know what i wana be if i am older(for a job) i am 13 right now and i am the only one in my class who loves this 😂 it is sometime funny how my class dont understand why i love it
Lovely...you make it all look so easy! Those little lips would work for just holding the bowl under your chin while shovelling the contents into your gob...:)
I'm a newbie potter and I'm inspired by your videos! I'm purchasing some bats and I'm curious about the type you use, brand and material. They seem to be thin and light, yet not prone to warping. Thanks!
I don't know this for sure, but I believe they're quite old. Not made anymore because they contain asbestos, I was told.... in any case there would be no danger as they're always wet (no dust) but no longer available for purchase. Your best bet is to make some from baltic birch plywood (thicker is better) or masonite (tend to warp a little but work perfectly well as long as you're not making plates/ platters). Cut up your plywood into squares that are the size of your bats, then measure and mark the centers of the squares. you can either use a compass and a jigsaw to cut your circles or if you have a table saw with a crosscut sled (or know a carpenter who does), drive a nail into the crosscut sled one half of the bat's diameter's distance away from the blade. clip off the head with some nippers leaving a sharp point. line up the center of the bat blank on the point you just created with the nail and pound it in place. the blank should now spin around the pivot point, allowing you to cut off the corners of the blank on the table saw, making an octagon, then cutting those corners again for 16 sides etc, until you can just spin the piece against the blade giving you a perfectly round, smooth bat - they'll all be the same size and everything. I've made many wooden circles this way for all kinds of projects. cheaper than buying them from the pottery supplier for sure! Good Luck! :)
Thank you for such an extensive and informative answer. Great idea about the crosscut and nail! We have a table saw and a band saw...so... using your concept we'll be able to make your own.
Oh great, happy that was helpful - picked the circle trick up from a woodworking magazine a while back :) . I'm also just starting in my potting life... the best of luck to you and your potting adventures!

So good to watch, you would deffo win a world record for things made in an hour . Lighting fast!
You have magic in your hands!!
I thought those little lips are good for spoon holders, so your spoon does not slip down into the bowl. Great idea, pretty and useful.
Thanks.
I'm only 7 and I love watching this pottery making 👍👍👍 great job👍
