Hey, Donte! I’ve been scrapping by without using a metal rib for a long time now, but I feel like it’s time I learn. When I tried in the past to smooth and compress my walls with a metal rib I always gouged my pieces :( do you have a video about proper rib holding technique, and if you don’t can you make one? I can’t be the only one....right? Lol
Great!!! Thank you. I will keep practicing throwing the cylinder and then choke it in. I was trying to do too much at one time. Throw while pushing out and in and then choke it... way tooooo hard!
Great vid, Donte! Approximately, how much weight do you start with and how high do you form this bottle (while still wet)? Do you make the mouth some standard diameter (when wet), to fit a particular type of cork?
Sounds like your not putting enough pressure when you first begin pulling (all the way from the bottoms I hope) you should see the beginner playlist I have. It'll help.
@@EarthNationCeramics Took a wee while for this old geeezer for the penny to drop. Does mess the meaning up but gives light to your videos......not that they need any additional fanfare. Cheers!
Great instruction. Thanks for showing us your technique!

I think in one or two of the beginner series this is a topic. At least briefly. I would guess the bowl video
thanks allot you helped me a lot
Thank you for sharing another great video look forward to more God Bless
Alright Donte 👍
Awesome video, Dante :) I learned a lot for some other pieces I'm making!
Great video....thank you!

You make it look so easyyy 😅
Thank you

New video LETS GOOOOOO
Do u trim the bottom of your bottles? Like to add a foot?
Most of the time, yes
This came at a great time as I’m hoping to make an oil dispenser
You pretty much just attach a fitted rubber pump to a bottle shape. Measurements are the key
How much clay do you use for the bottle?
About 3 lbs max
So if I make this shape and it somehow gets super thick on the bottom, do u happen to know how that happens and what I did wrong?
