Thanks Simon, One of my goals as a new potter is to be able to throw a bowl that size. Again you make it look so easy.

Simon, thank you for showing us how to throw this bowl, I have tried several times on this in the past and have flopped big time. The tips and techniques you gave were very helpful, and I look forward to trying again. one time I succeeded in throwing the bowl, but got a huge s crack in the glaze firing, what causes that and how can we prevent it from happening.

Adding a simple wood stop block to the foot control of an electric wheel prevents the wheel from turning too fast. The block can be fine tuned by adding a paper spacer to get rates of one revolution per second when controller is fully pressed. I found it is easy to slow the wheel with the block in place.

The big advantage of the stop block is it prevents accidental changes in wheel speed faster than normal throwing speed.

Hello, I love watch any of you videos as they inspire me. I do have a question about the chair, saddle you are sitting on as well as the height of your wheel. I am finding comfort is very important at 72. Thank you Simon.

brilliant, thanks, I've always been told you can't change the inside once it's leather hard and I get that little square edge all the time.

Well what you were told is not actually true as you can change the inside, best make sure its well attached to the wheel though. I will demo this shortly.
