I love watching Bourbon Moth and the stuff Jason comes up with and how he does it. Your Puki made me think of the time he made a HUGE concrete planter. The shaving and molding of the forms are the same...I hated Algebra, Geometry, and Basic Math, but I can see I was missing a valuable point...
Howdy Wes ! Great video as always , I have been considering the same dilemma of making a large Puki , you certainly have come up with a contemporary way of forming one ! I’m working out in my head , how the ancients must have made their large round bottom pots !You done good ! I for one would like to see how you fire that Puki , as you seem to have excellent outcomes ! Love your channel !
Thank you. I've wondered too how pukis were made and how they got them to be round -ish. In this case I initially will probably use them as sherds for a bigger pot so they will be fired along with the big pot.
@@airstreamwanderings3683 Howdy & Thank Yu again for yur input , sounds like a great plan ! Our prehistoric southwestern lndians , dug shallow round holes in the floors of their subterranean homes , to place a huge jar or pot in it , in order to support a large storage jar & keep it upright , -- Im thinking - - why couldn’t they have dug a similar hole in th floor & “mud” it up , like you did in that planter pot , let it dry & use it as a Puki ?! - - it wouldn’t get lost or broken & it would be their for the next use ?! Just me thinkin ! Love your channel , keep ‘em coming !
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. 😃 I saw an ingenious idea to see clay shrinkage, a rwooden rule used to make an exact copy made of the clay you are using, Mark the inches on it, fire it and you can easily see the shrinkage against the wooden rule you used to make the clay rule.
Whatever works, and that looks as though it will work! That pot shape is fantastic! great choice!
Thanks 👍 So far so good.

I'm not familiar with Bourbon Moth, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for watching.
Very innovative! The ends justifies the means , as they say! Happy trails!
I think you are right. And when you are passionate about something motivation isn't an issue. Thank you.
Pretty cool Wes! Making the best with what you have is always a good thing!
Always! I'll fire them tomorrow. Hopefully they don't warp.
Very nice buddy! I’m going to give this a go. Great idea
Go for it! Let me know how you do.
Great video as always Wes. Appreciate the slightly longer content with the commentary- learn lots from you.
Thanks. I always figure that a shorter video is better but maybe that isn't the case.
That's ingenious. You think in 3D!
Thank you. I never thought about it as 3D. I just get problems in my head that won't go away.
I do not build big pots basically because my pukis are all small......Thanks for paving the way to bigger pots.....
Thanks. Getting a symmetrical large puki is a challenge. Tony Soares just put out a video showing another way to make them.

That's a great idea! It would be fun to try. Thank you.
