I love watching you watch your pot as you throw. I appreciate the way you share your techniques, the successes, and the failures too. :)

The Form is pleasing

Thank you Simon for your beautifully, instructive and enjoyable to watch, video. You always steer me in the right direction. Love "spending time" in your company! All my questions have been answered here! Best wishes for you getting some of that wood, that your neighbour cut down, for a wood firing!

Simon you rock, I am struggling to make these too. The neck keeps breaking off but I will conquer it. Love all your videos, thank you so much for sharing.

Excellent Tutorial! Best demonstration of throwing a piece with a long neck I've seen. Thank you.

LOL, you gave me a giggle."..needles for injecting horses or cows". I have soo many of these not so efficient tools. Thank you for making this very helpful video, your descriptions are so easy to understand...so much appreciated!

You rock Simon! The shaping and fussing was much appreciated. Exceptional clip.

Thanks a lot, Simon - another great video.

Simon, Please turn your setup around so that we can see your hands as you work. I love your videos, but get so much more information when the thrower's hands are visible. Also, I think that having the camera close up on the piece is much more useful, allowing us to really see the piece as it develops. Thanks for all your videos and your talent.

I use a piece of combed cotton string tied to two whittled sticks as my cutting string. I can use it in the long for removing a platter or cutting chunks on the wedging table, or can wind the string up on the sticks to make it shorter... no kinks. I have a 2 lb / little less than a kilo spool of it, so when it wears out, I take a few minutes to replace it. It is normally used for the warp and heddles of American type manual looms.

Excelentes sus clases MAESTRO!!!!!

11/2 lbs wow lol. You sure don't waste any clay! They look great :).

Thanks a lor clearlight explaination.

Simon, Does it make any monotary difference to you if one watches the commerical that plays before your video or not? I think your neighbor has put aside enough wood for a very cold winter. Thanks for all you share, Claire

Lovely 😊

Simon, thanks for sharing all your videos. If you get time Simon, take a look at "Matt Horne" who also has videos here on youtube; he is the very best I've ever seen at making the exact pots you are making. He lifts tops of pots up more than I had ever imagined one could, amazing. Regards to you.

Lamp base

Have you cut one of these in half to look at the wall? You pull the neck after collaring, but not the shoulder of the bottle. Doesn't that leave the shoulder too thick?

Always refreshing to hear a potter say he struggles. If the master struggles, we are entitled to struggle at times. Clay has it's own agenda but we have to become its master.

@sleachpots im glad i havent been watching these ads for nothing haha

How tall is the bottle? Very nice.

its funny as i was watching this video with the chainsaw in the background ,in my neighborhood there were two chainsaws operating

It sounds like you are going to walk outside to a denuded landscape.

I don't understand there purpose
