I have an ear sponge on the outside behind my fingers to keep the clay
moist but not at the finger area. I use my fingers to tactilely feel the
clay itself in/out. I thought of using one inside similiarly but it isn't
always possible because of the thin tall pieces I am throwing. I'm
constantly wetting my inner hand, which makes me afraid I'm adding too much
water inside. It doesn't pool outside as it does inside. Would it hurt/help
inside since I don't cover fingers if I do this on wide pieces?

Simon - I don't know if you see questions to some of these older videos,
but I tried making a series of mugs last weekend with your video in mind.
While I had no problem getting the mug to come up to the measuring stick,
how do you get the diameter the same on each mug? My diameters always vary
slightly and thus, some are thicker than others when bringing them up to
the same height. I have a feeling you're going to tell me practice,
practice, practice :) but would love any hints you might have!

Hi I do use a sponge ! for mopping out ! You have touched on an important
point ....many people are taught to throw with a sponge I have noticed, but
I learnt without & I am glad. Your finger are receptors to feel,why deprive
them of that by using a sponge ? They must be trained to 'feel' the clay.
Loose your throwing sponge !!...your 'good' has become the enemy of what
your 'best' might be -food for thought ? SL

The good thing with a zponge is that it "leaks" water. I sometimes put the
sponge in my right hand - just OVER where my fingers are - to wet the clay
before my finger reaches it. Must admit - my clay is very sensitive to
water, so I have to be ever so careful with wetting and often (because I am
a newbie and don't throw efficiently) have to let the piece sit on the
wheel to dry a bit before continuing.

Almost spamming this video, but it is GOLD! Love the shape of the mug - so
flowing. And the tip about setting the height is so smart and easy! You
might want to actually demonstrate the grip you use for removing the pieces
from the wheel. I had it explained to me in text and it took a lot of trial
and error to figure it out. Thanks for your wonderful vids, Simon!

Hi -yes i see your question.First make cylinders up to a gauge before
attempting mugs.use the models I recently did here on .. "7 forms to make a
cylinder." Be consistent in your throwing technique for regular
results.good luck SL

Nice. I just started turning and like the hight measurement technique. How
do you set a measurement for the form and width of the repeat throws? If
you do how you do gauge the width and form?

Such a valuable tip about touching both thumbs when bring up the clay!
Thanks Simon, I have only been working on the wheel for two months, your
videos have been such a help to me.

Not that you would notice in everyday, Simon. My old classmate, who "went
metric" with the country in 6th grade, still buys her meat in pounts at the
wonderful age of 45! LOL!

I've noticed that after I'm done mopping out my mug that when its drying
the bottom cracks. Is this because I'm missing a step somewhere while I'm
throwing the piece?

Very well done video that shows how to duplicate forms! Very, very useful.
Thanks for the weight, Simon. Divide for 454 and you have pounds. :o)

Such an important point about the hands always joining. I find when I
concentrate on that, I get to produce better pieces

Thank you - I've seen the models and I'll give it a go with the cylinders
tomorrow. It's mighty late there in Spain! :)

Amazing what you can do with 260g. Would take me 500g to get anything that
size. Must keep practising

I prefer Metric over Imperial. Very simple and easy to convert. Foot, yard,
click....confusing.

Just wanted to mention that Canada converted from Imperial to Metric about
30 years ago...LOL

Apparently Youtube doesn't understand English accents. Turn on the
