@adskib The following is my respond to one of viewer's s crack question on my video#25:
"There is nothing to do with the string cut-off or compressing the bottom. My way of avoiding S crack is to trim the bottom thin enough. How thin? I'd say about 1/8 inch. Also, dry your pots naturally instead of put them under the sun."
So far, if I trim the foot within the range of the thickness, 99.9% of my pots are all perfect without crack. The problem is how can you tell the thickness of your bottom?

JUST BEAUTIFUL! Wonderful demos.

This was great! Would love to see how you make the tall square twisted vase that is on the opening credits

Another great video, thanks.

I love the "on purpose" chattering effect...lovely! Maybe maybe it's a skill I haven't mastered, but when I use the surform it ends up being a very jagged surface...not a smooth surface like yours. Did you wipe that piece after you surformed it?

Hi Hsinchuen, I love you work and videos; they absolutely inspire me and open my eyes.
when I try to cut my my plates, I get small cracks in them and the edges become very fragile. Can you guess what my problem is? I think I have a problem with one of or a combination of the dryness, the thickness, my tools, and how fast I cut it. Is there anything else you can think of? And can you please give me some general tips on those 4 aspects I listed?
