Lol, I had to take a break to recharge the batteries.....they were running on fumes.

Forty second pot of the 'Special Batch' is done. Everyone needs a mame cascade in their life

While waiting for a pot to dry I started work on my PIT-EKA mini pottery wheel. Here I drilled out the holes for the bat pins on the wheel head. You can also see the larger motor in the background. I'm hoping this motor will give me more torque.

You should use your mini-pottery wheel to make a MINI foot wheel... to throw some TRUE minis!!

Just rustlin' yer spuds, buddy.

I'm excited about the new range and seeming durability of this wheel build.

 

[HorseloverFat]

Aaand.. is it easy?

I have motors for DAYS!

I have a feeling my wheel work would be...

hillarious..

At first.

This build is a prototype. I have to see how the wheel performs when its done.

There's a learning curve....and then the clay has to cooperate as well.

Super Clean and simple.. but special.. lots said in those lines.

If the top lip was a little.. sharper.. it would remind me heavily, of Korean Pottery.

I really like this.

Dang!.. you beat me to it.

I gotta start reading thoroughly BEFORE responding.

It seems like you and I would DOMINATE as a charades team!

Thanks! Once it shrinks after the second firing, I think this pot will look really nice. I'm thinking to put a deep dark blue glaze on it.

I made the rim thin, but I rounded it cause I don't want the glaze to break on it exposing the clay body beneath. It will be a lot thinner after the glaze firing.

Sitting at 67 pots as of tonight........33 more pots to go to hit my mark of 100 mame pots. I can't believe I'm this close to it.

Have you tried throwing these small pots off the hump? I can throw several dozen mame pots in a sitting this way as opposed to throwing individually

 

[penumbra]

I don't think his wheel has enough power to handles more than a few ounces of clay at a time. When I throw mini bowls off the hump I use 5 to 8 pounds of clay.
