- I'm giving my wheel a little refresh with some paint and tackling some other small projects before finally trimming up the bowls I threw in my last video. Enjoy!

The blue is great. You do have a gorgeous studio.
The blue is a definite improvement over the previous color! I am so envious of your studio. 🥰
Oh thank you! I think so too and I find it’s actually easier to clean!
I like the blue. ❤ So meticulous in the trimming phase.
Thanks!! I like it too ☺️
Lisa, It's so great to see you get to this point.
I know what that's like being away from
the art medium you love & finally getting
to get your hands in the clay again, it's
the best...like getting to breathe fresh air.
I was thinking you might make some giant
wooden calipers like Frank Howarth on YT did
for his wood turning projects. It was his latest
video, he reworked an old cherry bowl.
I love the new color of the wheel.
Good idea putting blue on the bottom of the
top piece so it will make the same color scratches, hehe

Funny I met Franks wife a couple years back! I have not seen this video but I will have to go check it out! Pottery really is the thing that makes me feel like who I am, so it’s been absolutely great to be back at it ❤️
@@Lisa.Riland We can tell it's your thing, you absolutely shine once you get your hands in the clay.
Oh Em Gee...you met Frank's wife! super small world, of all the folks to mention & you actually KNOW who I'm talking about.
@@LinauLee yes! So wild but I think if anyone has gone down the woodworking RUclips rabbit hole you’ve probably seen Frank. I went to WorkbenchCon the last two years and got to meet a ton of RUclipsrs in that space, it was super fun!
I’m crossing my fingers the paint stays put! Lovely big bowls
Me too!!! I think the splash pan is most at risk for chipping or pealing but I’ll keep you posted!
@@Lisa.RilandIf you need to paint in the future, before sanding & after, use a product called TSP. It removes oil & any residue that might prevent the paint from adhere.
Years ago, I asked a painter friend of my husband’s if it was possible to ‘nicely’ paint over the paneling in our foyer, hallway, & living room. It is high end, thick paneling, but we hated that it was so dark. His friend told me how to clean (with TSP product) the walls, sand them, clean them again, & sand plus clean once more. After cleaning, sanding, cleaning, sanding, & cleaning again, we painted the walls using Kilz white primer. It took 2-3 coats to completely cover it, but wow what a difference! Family & friends who weren’t aware we’d painted the paneling actually thought we replaced the paneling with drywall. 😊
@@SammiJoReviews oh thank you! I probably should have prepped it better, but thankfully it’s holding up really well so far!
@@Lisa.Riland I never thought of painting the splash pan. 🤔 I’ve twirled that over a few times since seeing yours. I have a Shimpo RK Whisper pottery wheel. I’m not a fan of the splash pan. They make a small & large table that attaches in the front. I think they connect somehow to the two bolts on the silver Shimpo frame. One of the pictures I’ve seen on Shimpo (Now Shimpo/Nidec) website looks like it does away with the splash pan, though it could be simply to show the large attached table. It is a bit pricey, so I didn’t go down the rabbit hole to investigate further. Imho, if they can attach a table to the front, I don’t see why I can’t make a table out of wood or thick plexiglass. Although, I’ll have to ensure I can get a splash pan to fit it regardless because I can’t throw without one.
Did you buy the storage section for your bats? Or, did you build it? I need to get mine off the floor. They’re stacked upright (like record albums), but they need to be up off the floor. The small bat inserts I have are stored upright on a shelf of a wood desk-table. The inserts are square so they don’t roll like my larger ones. I’m in desperate need of bats. We tried a round disk of wood to make a bat. It is perfect for drying, not so much for throwing. The wood causes my hands to jerk/move in stutters on it. It seems that I’ll need to find more higher quality mdf bats, possibly even the 9in square bats. They’ve gotten so expensive & they weren’t cheap 25-30 years ago.
Your studio is nice! We are hoping to build a studio just for my pottery. The space is cleared & we have the Bobcat here now to help with leveling the ground since we tilled in my garden & raked down the rows. My garden didn’t do so well this year. Normally it does well because I have a drip irrigation setup. It wasn’t lack of water this year; it was too much. Plus, I had a lot going on too. My husband & our daughters sent me on a cruise to the Bahamas this year. Our oldest daughter & several of her friends went too, which made it all the more enjoyable. I’ve just got back into my studio space too. Between dress shopping, shoe shopping, hair, nails, etc… then getting & diving into clearing the garden, there’s been little time & lots of exhaustion. Since it started cooling off a bit, though today with our 96-97 degree highs isn’t remotely close to cooler days, at least the nights are cooler. I’ll be throwing pots more.
I’m so excited for you and the new studio to be! Exciting that you have been able to break ground. I have never used a Shimpo but have heard good things, I do think the ease of cleaning the splash pan is something I really like about my Pacifica. For my current setup to store the bats, it’s just a shelf I purchased on amazon (happy to send a link if you want) and I also bought some pots and pans organizers (used to store like skillets and lids upright in your cabinet) they are adjustable and work really well, though I have seen things at IKEA that also look like they would work well too. It is silly how expensive they are, I built up a collection over the years, but I mostly use my insert system now if I’m throwing smaller things. Hope you are able to get back in the clay soon!
At 11:43, is that a Birch wood butcher block countertop from Lowe’s? I ask because it looks just like the butcher block countertop my husband & youngest daughter bought & installed over the top of a 50-55 year old cabinet made at This End Up (the original owners’ company; it was reopened by new owners who kept the base company in Salisbury, NC). I turned it into a kitchen island. The butcher block top was a bonus.
You are absolutely right! It is a birch butcher block from Lowe’s. I have 2 others, one for my sink and another on top of some cabinets. I really love them! It’s probably too heavy for the legs on the table you noticed but I have a plan someday to upgrade it.
