Preheating is usually to make sure all the moisture is out of your clay. I usually do leave the lid cracked to allow for that moisture to escape. If things are already bone dry i dont usually preheat but that isnt' often. be careful about putting things that are too wet - closer to greenware than bone dry - into your kiln becasue it can be taxing on your elements. That being said, i do it sometimes when i'm in a hurry. I hope that helps! Have fun. -mj

Sometimes it does take that long. Generally i open the kiln about 24 hours later after i start the fire. waiting longer is better. you can crack the lid at 400 if you like but patience is better and waiting for it to cool all the way down will yield better results. you will hear your wares "ping" as the glaze cracks if you take the pieces out too early - when the kiln is still too hot. The best is to wait till it gets all the way down to room temp but who has that kind of patience! :)

Hey mxmoose. I would just search for the newest ones with the best reviews. These are the latest one's i bought on amazon. They lasted through two years: Fiberglass Garage Door Screen, Sunmoxia 9x7Ft Magnetic Heavy Duty Garage Door Curtain with 4 Strapping Tapes - Durable Breathable Mesh Patio Porch Privacy Curtain - Brand: Sunmoxia These were the ones i bought prior to those. they lasted about two years as well: Magnetic Garage Screen Door for 1 Car Garage Doors 9x7FT- Reinforced Self Sealing Fiberglass Mesh Door with 4 Strapping Tapes, High Energy Magnets，Hands Free Door Screen with Closure Weighted Bottom Brand: Veanusiver

great input. thanks! -mj

they were a game changer for me. I saw videos from the large potteries in the midwest and all of them correct their profiles in the last steps with a handmade tool like this. I couldn't find what it was so i started 3d printing them in the shapes i was being hired to make. it drastically reduced my rejects. I wish i was an allstar like Simon Leach or Matthew Kelly but at my level it was the only way to get the consistency i needed for selling pots and trying to make it in production pottery. If we keep at it we'll all get there eventually. it's kind of a way to check your consistency so you don't have wasted wares. Thanks for contributing! -mj

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G8JK6XT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the one i bought many years ago. there are probably better versions now.

@@OutpostPottery Thank you

hi Patsy. sorry for the late reply. Please reach out to me on my website and I can help you more with this. Just be warned that Amazon does wind up taking about 50% when it's all said and done. it's still one of my biggest income streams but it's not my favorite way to sell.

shoot me a link and I'll let you know. if you need to get a hold of me it's generally easier on my website www.outpostpottery.com . As i recall i didn't see any of hte vivo home wheels with bat pins but maybe they have changed that. please do send the link. i'd love to see it -mj

Show the bit that is not obvious!

Happy to help. what part do you want me to show, Mark?

@@OutpostPottery thank you!

You are so welcome!

Yes. Agreed. Mine are all still in the house but I'm already regretting wasted opportunities and not doing many of these things with them. Thanks Erik. -mj

Me too. Thank you!

He's full of those. Thanks for dropping in. -mj

Go for it! It's a lot of fun

Thanks! These two are very special. Loved getting to sit down with them!

Thanks! I'm not sure why they are off. That was pre-auto caption when I did those. I must have screwed something up. Sorry about that!

haha. I guess ai still has a little ways to go. agreed.

Five crowns? Can you please explain it to me?

it's remarkable isn't it? i started playing with these cameras in 2016 and they keep getting better. this is a great use case for potters. you can pause the video at any moment and continue to look around teh room. try it! it's a great feature in youtube.

@@OutpostPottery It's the Insta360 ONE R? You're saying there's a youtube feature to pan around when the video is paused, Blade Runner style?. I'd be really surprised if that was the case, but I tried without success.

@@KSCPMark6742 not on this version. This is a flat version I created from teh 360 video to showcase the studio tour in 16 x 9 - normal youtube viewing. HOWEVER!!! if you go to this version of teh same video: ruclips.net/video/4P-zm_sp0Cs/видео.html - you can pause the video at any point and move the viewable area around in 360 degrees. Do it from a smart phone and physically look around the 360 space by moving the phone. it's wild!

Slip is clay that is liquefied. You use it to join pieces or in this case he is using it in a process called slipcasting. Slipcasting is a process of pouring "slip" into a plaster mold and using capillary action (plaster sucking the water out of the slip to create clay) to make a shell or walls of your form. The slip inside your piece will be poured out of the plaster mold so all you have inside is a wall of clay

15% Silica in my recipe. I mix all the dry elements together then add them to 2 gallons of water.

sometimes it does dig into the shelf. i try to do that as little as possible but not a huge deal. thanks for asking! Sorry i was so late on the reply!

Sure. i used 1 lb 6 oz. I use cinco blanco G200 from Armadillo clay. It's a mid range - cone 6 clay body. It's my goto on the wheel. If you're in Texas south of Waco Armadillo clay is great. if you're in the DFW area Trinity Ceramic Supply in Dalllas is also a great supplier.

@@OutpostPottery great thanks for the info! I’m having trouble throwing mugs but I think I’m not using enough clay, only .5-.75lb. Will try sizing up!

You won't be disappointed. He's a legend. New potters should watch this and the 360 video of the same studio tour before setting up their spaces.

I know right! 2 years to build but 60 years of experience to know how to build it. It's such a beautiful yet functional space.

you bet! Thanks for watching!

Wonderful! Yes Susan and Niko are great. I'll be publishing another conversation with Paul McCoy in a few days. So many great people here. Glad you'll be joining us

Here is the disc i use for grinding kiln shelves: ruclips.net/user/shortshmHMH4VuUFQ

It goes plenty fast for anything under 10 lbs. These wheels are more geared toward medium size work or smaller. I woudn't use this as my main wheel for really big stuff. I rarely throw really big though personally. Thanks for watching! -mj

@@OutpostPottery thanks for the response. My concern is that it might not go slow enough. Cause for trimming and all, the speed should be low. What's the lowest speed like in this one?

Same same, they have similar controllers

Thanks Patricia!

Thank you so much, Patricia! I'm glad you like them.

Thanks Katie. I usually eyeball it but the technical ratio is 7:10::water:plaster. So 7 parts water to 10 parts plaster - by weight i think. It doesn't have to be an exact science though - there's some wiggle room.
