Mame pots on a mini pottery wheel

[Pitoon]

Looks giant, now!

It was a bit difficult to make this one. The wheel did not have enough torque and stopped every time I touched the clay. It's really time to upgrade to an actual wheel to start making larger size pots.

I am almost afraid of you getting a real potters wheel. My wheel thrown pots will look like s--t in comparison.
You will be giving up your day job.

I think everyone's pots can look really good. It's just how long one wants to spend time working on them. I'm going to get the Shimpo Aspire wheel sometime in 2022. It will be like starting all over learning that wheel. But I can already see the time to finish a shohin sized pot will probably take triple the time to finish the detailing than a mame sized pot.

I had an Aspire and I liked it a lot but it was before they made a foot controller which I am very used to. I traded it in on a Shimpo Lite. It is a floor model whereas the Aspire is a table top model. The Lite is still easy enough to move around so you can take it to workshops and demonstrations etc.
Whatever you get, once you establish a new learning curve, you are going to be amazed at what you can do. Pretty exciting for me and everyone following you, to see you up the ante. WE watch with baited breath.

Tease

Tease

This pot should be jet black after the second fire. Hopefully it will end up looking how I envision it to be when it's done.

Lol, I guess the logo works then.

One of Pitoon's pots shown in an unboxing video on the Yamasibon Youtube channel was used for a yamadori Akamatsu.
The red pine was planted in the mame pot in quite an unique way.

He told me he was waiting for the right yamadori for that pot. I'm happy he found the right one. In a few years that one will look fantastic once it can stand on it's own.

Thanks. That was fun.

Now that you're best friends, you should probably get him to join bonsainut!

I really like those feet. The detail you get on something so small is amazing.
