I love how you did the swirl vases.....but since they were in fast motion it was hard to see how you did it. Maybe you could do a video on how to throw those and the other swirl mugs, please.
I'm new to pottery and clay throwing, but I just bought the Thomas Stuart Revolution model wheel. Great design with the removable head and big splash pan that comes off to clean easily. It can handle more pounds of clay then I'll ever throw. Keep the great videos coming brother.
what a beautiful new wheel - I have Wheel Envy! and your sister's photos are amazing! xxx
Jon, you are a winner. Child like wonder is so special. Hold on to it like it is your family's wealth. Don't ever change. Thanks, man, for being such a great inspiration.
How loud is this wheel compared to a Brent? I am looking at getting a Skutt as well.
I do love a good time-lapse videos of wheel-throwing.
I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of the Thomas Stuart wheel. Great, powerful motor, responsive pedal. and a huge splash pan. I like my Brent, but if I were to buy new, I'd probably go with a Thomas Stuart/ Skutt.
I like the altered form vessels you made. I've never tried that form/ technique myself.
Love the shots, your sister took. Those would be some good framers for the coffee shop(s), or your new studio.
In regards to the Raku wares, prepare to have clarify, everytime you mention it to people, that you are saying *Raku*, not Raccoon...
That's a great idea!! the framed shots of the clay, I might do that actually!
It is always a true blessing to see, and experience your great attitude and family spirit of wonderment. Keep being you!
I swear it’s so “zen” to watch you guys throw pots! I love watching Joel throw on the foot operated wheel too. You guys rock! Keep those vlogs coming Jon!!
Nice wheel Jon, I really like the easy way you can change the head. I'm sorry I did laugh when you kept forgetting you were throwing on bats. But some very nice pieces, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to throw while people are watching and talking to you, you ARE the man. 😊 cheers Bob 🇬🇧
Thank you Jon for another Awesome video. Love the new wheel and i also love how you include your family and the public in all that you do. Kudos to you Jon. cant wait to see the new studio finished and the new techniques.
Love how much you’re experimenting with different textures! Can’t wait to see how those look glazed.
Wow! Love all Your videos! I am surprised , how often You post them! Always wait for a new one and amazed , how u manage Your time!
What You did here, is a Great promotion idea!!!! Comments with a Framed picture in a shop , sounds good too!
I am inspired by Your work and attitude! Thank You !
Your videos always bring my mood up!
Wish You all the best and Good Luck!
OMG I'm so jealous, such a beautiful NEW wheel..... Love the vases, need to show how you get that affect.
Those stills are SICK
Enjoy your videos so much! Thanks for sharing. Most of us have learned to throw seated, but standing seems so much better for neck, back, shoulders, etc. Maybe you can do a video with tips on how you switched from sitting to standing?
Fantastic idea to throw in the shop and especially on your new shiny wheel. Having your sister doing the photography was a great idea too. Looking forward to the next phase of your new studio construction. 😃🇬🇧
Jon, Good luck with the new Wheel it looks amazing did you get the SSX Upgrade with that as well? Great Idea to do the throwing in the coffee shop. The photos look amazing from the Photographer she has a keen eye. All the best From Don @ Wet The Face
Nice wheel & hope so it helps you a lot and congrats for construction of your new studio.
Great videos - you are always so positive & energetic (where do you find all that energy?) It would be great to see more tutorials - on the wheel and glazing techniques.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keeping it fun!
Oh wow! You make it look so easy and graceful. Do you ever goof up? You should share those to make all of us “unprofessional would-be potters” feel better about what we do every day!! Love the videos and I’m crazy about you!
I do goof up all the time!!!
If you not failing your not getting better!
What a great wheel Jon!! Love your videos!!😍
So fun! Wish we got that much snow in Ga
Woot woot! New wheeeeeeel!
Please explain that twisty thing you do to the pot around 6.06
I can't tell if Jon is using his fingers, or a tool!
Using my thumbnail!
Jonthepotter LOL
So shiny! I miss making pottery, haven’t touched a wheel in 17 yrs.
Happy new wheel, I have done raku and it is very intense and can't wait to see your take on it. Studio looking good. Liking the swirly vase thing, I must have a go of that.
Absolutely love my skutt!
Really looking forward to your videos. Love the big vase and can't wait to see you do Raku - you have to make a video about that.😁
Ohh yes, raku firing will make a great video!
I would love to see how you made the vase at 6:06 .... also would love to see more about how you let your pots dry until ready for trimming (where do you store them en how long do you let them dry) and wanna see more how you trim!
Very cool. Thanks for that
as always, love the vid. along with the still shoots. wonderful work,
WOW! That was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I wanna learn how you did all does different textures.
Okay, I don’t remember which vlog you posted the music in but THANK YOU! I am loving Iskon!
Awesome awesome stuff man can’t wait for that next video
Hi John! I've recently taken up throwing and am loving your channel 😁 really artistic and informative. I would love to see a tutorial for a pair of drinking goblets if you've got the time as I want to make some for my friends wedding present. Reckon you could help a sister out? Many thanks! Jemima x
Wow your at 21K subscribers now that’s so crazy!! I love the vase with the slanted ridges! How do you get them spaced out so even. So I’m guessing you do the finger swipe up on the inside while it’s turning slowly but how you get them spaced so perfect? Love your new wheel so jealous! Peace!!
yup, spacing is just timing!
I heard your Brent wheel squeaking in one of your previous videos. If you remove the motor from the wheel, a local electric motor shop can rebuild it for you with new bearings. That's what I did with the old used Brent wheel I bought from my local clay studio. Keep up the great work Jon!
Thanks for the tip I should do that! like 3 years ago....hhaha , I do need to do that though:)
@jonthepotter
Hi! I'm looking to start throwing at home and my almost 5 year old daughter wants to "help." :) What is the best Beginner wheel for the two of us to play around with? What other suggestions do you have for a beginner? Also, she and I love your videos and she mimics you many times by greeting people with, "What's up guys?!" Thanks for putting smiles on lots of our faces!
Question... How do you like the wheel? Have you tried the Shimpo VL Whisper?? Heard really good things. Any input?? Do you have a favorite?
Pros and cons for the wheel with the removable pan? I'm considering that one and the skutt with the built in super duper pan.
Hi Jon ! I'm squeeky close to buying a skutt revolution wheel like that. Two questions from a lady with a severely bad back. I want to try standing, because the sit position is becoming dangerous for me.. That wheel looks like the wheel is farther from the body than others because of space between pan and wheelhead. Does that mean having to lean over farther? Secondly, the pan appears to move a lot as you work. Does this make it feel unstable when centering or using it as support? Would you recommend for someone with serious back issues? Would appreciate any insight if you do see this comment. Thanks for all the great videos!
Hey Jon, I was just wondering how come you throw on a bat but then you cut your pieces off anyways. Is there an advantage to throwing on the bat vs just throwing on the wheel?
throwing on a bat gives you the option to move it if you want , so basically for the flexibility!
Could you do a video on making the pot at 6:20? I think that would be a really cool shape for a teapot!
Yes!
Nice! I want to buy a wheel soon so it's good to see this one in action. I will look at the extensions too for a standing wheel. When I watched the video with your grandpa he mentioned stopping wheel work as his strength faded. Some days I feel like if I were stronger it would help my wheel work. Know of any workout routines specifically for potters? :-)
Would a standing wheel require the same strength or would it be harder? I know sitting I can brace myself and that helps. A good video would be standing vs sitting? Keep up the great work!
Standing might require a little more strength but as with most things I think if you do it enough it becomes easier! Keep that core strength strong to help with any back pain, Core strength is the key!
Love your channel Jon. What kind of tools and brand would you recommend for a beginner?
Way cool Jon! Is that wheel head magnetic or something? Thanks for another great video!
Not magnetic, just comes off!
I love you so much to make a potter wheel so sexy and pottery so glamorous! I was touched by this video because it remembers me that what we do as potters is magical to most of people. THANK YOU! PS: why do you pass the thread 3 times?
Haha I feel like it never comes of on the first go, so sometimes I do 2 and sometimes 3 for good measure!
Awesome new wheel, I throw on a Brent. Back in the studio today!!! Finally! What is your instagram site so I can follow...Also do you feel more comfortable standing and throwing?
@jonschmidtpotter. is the Insta, Yes I love standing and throwing its the best!!!.....for me
Is that wheel better for making pots faster? Whats your thoughts on diffrences between the new wheel and your old one?
I would say it is very simila in speed, the skutt is quieter and smoother, especially at low speeds which I really like!
How much clay do you use for your average mug? Do you weigh it out? Also, I thought this was great timing; I am writing a quick informational piece on raku firing for the Veteran's National Art Competition, and I am submitting my two best raku pots!
Cool! I can't wait for Raku later this spring! I use average of 1 pound! less for a smaller mug and more for a bigger mug!
@@Jonthepotter I'm still a student and trying to cut down how much I use. Although... I'm told my mugs are huge! I struggle with getting that bit of clay out of the bottom corner. I'm working on it!
Are you going to be making a raku video anytime soon?
Hopefully soon, although today was about negative 24 degrees F so not doing it when its this cold!
If you started from the top and spiraled down(not sure if thats possible), would that make a right handed mug?
you should come try it!!
Lol. Yeah, right.
Which wheel do you prefer the SKUTT or the Brent?
Why get a skutt wheel instead of a Brent?
Skutt is a great company, I had heard very good things about their wheel construction. I like the design of the wheel and the removable head, and I already own a Brent so I wanted something different!
Ok
What are the specs on that wheel? I don't think I've ever heard anything about skutt wheels
Half horse, really good design on the motor, quiet and really smooth at low speeds, love it so far!
Do you have any videos on how you use your drone and your type of drone.
Its a mavic air, No videos yet!!
what are your favorite bats?
Right now those new ones from continental clay are pretty great!
@@Jonthepotter what material are they made of?
🙂👍🔝
In your description you post almost everything except the type of clay you use and the type of glazes
Melissa Gascon I think he talked about it in another video. I think he gets his stuff locally from continental clay...might be remembering wrong though :)
He has indeed posted about it, in a previous video. He uses Continental Clay Buff Stoneware. It's a mid-fire body, though I'm not sure of the exact cone, as the company lists a broad firing range.
I thought Jon fired them as stoneware.
@@benpatterson4452 awesome, thanks!
Yes Continental Clay Buff Stoneware to Cone 6 , Although they just gave me a bunch of new clay to try ....so I am excited for that!
I'll buy your old one for 5 buck
I'll buy your old one for 5 buck :)
Haha, I will be keeping it around for a while, it's worth quite a bit more than that , thanks though!
@@Jonthepotter it never hurts to have a second wheel. Especially when they can be so hard to find a good buyer for
