What would a ODB pot be like?
I don’t think it’s in @Pitoon ’s wheelhouse.

.....an ODB pot would definitely be a challenge to make.

I appreciate everyone's love for hip-hop, but my thread is getting derailed.....let's keep it on the topic of the thread title, thanks.

The title of this thread had me thinking about something completely different. I had visions of you laying down a sweet rhythm track in Ableton to control the pottery wheel, layering in a funky baseline, throwing in a chord progression with a synth pad, and topping it all off with a bouncy lead to create pottery that you can’t help but get up and dance to.

Smaller trees are so much easier to handle and work on. They also take up a lot less space. But there's trade offs, they do require a bit more attention and care. After seeing the beasts at Bjorn's nursery one would need a forklift to move some of them around. Bigger trees are nice to look at, but a royal pain to move around especially if you're alone.

Also when winter comes and things have to be shuffled around for shelter I know I definitely appreciate the little trees a bit more, lol.

Nothing to do with music. Midi is a term that is used in the machine world that is larger than mini size, but smaller than full size.

Sorry no funky baseline, just pottery here.

I was researching these small wheels and almost bought one. My wife shut me down. . I may still sneak one by her if I find the right one.
Thanks for sharing your experience with yours thus far. Did you mention the make and model?

All those Chinese made wheels are basically the same. I just waited till I found a good deal on one. I will eventually get a serious wheel one of these days.

Looks like this one.

I suppose so.

Yeah, get your real wheel. Once you start throwing medium to large pots, you’ll have them sold before they come off the wheel.

Everything is the same except the basins are different. The one I have does not have the partitions built in. If you get that one you will be limited to the size of water container you can put inside the basin.

Here's one I finished last last. Still debating what color to glaze this one.

This one is one of my favorites I've made this year. I see a nice shohin forest in this one. I think I've matched a glaze to this pot. It's going to be hard letting this one go.

Here's pot #2 off the medi wheel. It's already bone dry and ready for bisque. I'm thinking a nice crystalline glaze for this one. My goal for this batch is 25 pots mixed shohin and mame size.

I'm seeing a nice cascade shohin in this pot. What do you think would look good in this one?

Princess or Quince would be my pick. I think a informal upright tree would work as well. I believe theres more room for improv with the smaller trees. (Personal preference, and two years of watching Japanese YouTube, lol) Great stuff, I‘m excited to see your progress!

I missed this earlier. True Crystalline glazes are a whole different animal. They require temperature holds that many kilns (and people) can't handle. The also require a bisque tile to catch the running nature of the glaze and grinding / polishing the overrun. Many people who do crystalline glazes do nothing but crystalline glazes. The "bottled" crystal glazes are not the same.
I love a good (but unpredictable) crystalline glaze but though I have taken a workshop from a master, I am unprepared to make that commitment myself.
