Seeing you trim off those thick coils from the base was downright terrifying to watch - I guess both a testament to your skill and my own fear of trimming through the base of my pots 😅 Beautiful work as always, and so informative and helpful for someone getting into pottery - just having you explain the order of operations and reasoning of your trimming is incredibly useful stuff.
10:58 It would be really interesting one time if we could watch a split screen of you throwing in real time and also your foot on the pedal. I’m learning more and more how speed affects things as I throw and I’d love to see your process!
@@floriangadsby Thank you, Sir. I just perused those offerings but still like that double-ended tool you were using in the video. Maybe there's a Goldilocks option between my basic kit and those high-end carbides...
I mean there's wobbly and there's WOBBLY. I think it obviously helps to get your skills to a point where you can make pots that aren't wobbly, but past a certain point a bit of irregularity can creep back in.

Florian upgraded his tap center to a slap center. Nice touch.
My inner Davie504 approves.

I could easily film both for a mug/bowl, pots where my process will more or less be identical, let me see what I can do!
@@floriangadsby Thanks Florian!
Always really neat to see how you deal with mistakes! You are a wonderful instructor - thanks so much c:
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoy the process really, trimming and correcting and refining, those are the days I look forward to.
You make very pretty pots! The angles are great
Looking forward for when It's glazed. It already looks promising.
Just lovely
Thank you! :)
Great work! Keep it up❤
Super ❤❤❤
Do you use a whetstone on the steel tools to sharpen and straighten their edges?
Those pots *are* the whetstones
Question, what clay do you use Florian?
Cool. Who makes the trimming tool you're using? Time to upgrade my super basic beginner's kit. Thanks.
Check out Hsin-Chuen Lin and www.rdpottery.com or merenokceramics.com/cart, they all sell tungsten carbide tools.

I looked on your trimming tools ,and it seems, the the bowl is rather soft being leather hard.
POV: You are being trimmed by Florian.
I see big bowl and I can only think of the amount of ramen that it could contain 😅
Too much ramen.
I don't think that can be possible 😆@@floriangadsby
If this is a wobbly pot I’m embarrassed for you to see my non-wobbly pots
They aren't wobbly when they are sitting still, lol. That is what we say at the studio I go to.

You are getting more experimental with your shots! :) well done!
You are amazing with clay and explaning the process. Very useful. Thanks
I bet Florian has made about a million pots, which includes mugs, jars, bowls, etc.
Not sure how I ended up on the pottery side of youtube but it is oddly satisfying to watch.
Why does it not move without lugs of clay or water sealing the bottom
