I've used the card poll before, and it doesn't tell how many people participated in the voting. That doesn't sit well with me, because what if only 20 viewers happen to vote there? That wouldn't be a fair representation of the audience's voice. When I watch KZread videos on my phone the icard & end screen features don't show up, so I don't believe it works across all devices. Finally, as Venus O mentioned, interaction can help videos to be recommended more by YT. The reason I did not tally all the votes in the previous craft kit test is because the winner was very clear! There was no way any other kit would have won, because Kit A was so far ahead & I was still seeing votes for it as I scrolled. I am open to extending voting to the community tab and my social media pages though.

Thanks for going at it! I really love the pottery wheels!
We made pinch pots in high school art and I was so much fun! We had to make the finished pot look like an animal so I added legs (only three) and a trunk and ears so it looked like a funny elephant named tripod :)
What about using a rubber earbud cover/piece? That might be able to stay on.

What about taking one of the eraser replacements from a mechanical pencil? You could stab it onto the piece, shape it to size with an exacto blade, and then glue it on with super glue for added security.
This was a favorite from my childhood in the 70s--I really appreciate this vid, thank you:)
Is it just me or did the wheel in the beginning sound like a screaming goat😂😂😂😂😂
I am voting for craft kit A! I love your channel Sarah, you make me so happy and I always look forward to your videos.
Yep just love these older kit reviews your a very sweet lady and you have a can do attitude! Keep it going!
The 1920's! That sound so cool! LOVE u Sarah! U make my day! I also vote for C!
I’m a 70’s kid and I had this very kit around 1981. I was so surprised and excited when I saw your opening it!! Watching you working with it brought back so many memories... and I also remembered that it had exactly the same problems that you had now! The wheel would not turn. Thank you so much for this! I always love your content but this was very special to me. All the best (-:

There’s no need to apologize for it. Older kits are expected to have some dilemma. I’d love to see the older kit as well. It’s interesting to see the difference between a modern and older one.
I vote for the 20s!!! Also this is not a let down at all!! The whole point of testing is to see if it works still. It's not your fault that it didn't. I found it really interesting when you were trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Keep making these videos please 😊💕😻

Considering that this is a craft channel and the crafts are kid friendly, this young girl (who by the way is an adult) no doubt has tons of subscribers older than her including ones old enough to be her grandparent. Because there are parents and grandparents who are always looking for craft ideas to do with their children or grandchildren.

Having horrible flashbacks to childhood watching this video! LOL I had a very similar wheel from the Sears Wish Book back in the late 80s, maybe? It never worked properly. I can't recall if we sent it back or if it just ended up in a discard pile. Loved watching this video!

Sarah Madlock Thank you for being the first person I've seen commenting on here with the common sense to figure out that Kit C is the one from the 1920's. I was almost starting to question myself, as I've seen comment after comment refer to Kit B as the oldest one. I thought it was pretty obvious just by looking at them , but apparently it is not.

I know I am showing my age but a remember when this came out! I vote for kit D
Why not use eraser clay? That might stay on the pin and work...
You can try SUGRU in place of the rubber piece. Its great because its sturdy and you can easily shape it to the shape of the old rubber piece. It just takes 24 hrs to cure.
I'm really enjoying the vintage kit testing! I'm voting for C!
As a child of the 70's, I remember those. The idea was good, but I found them discouraging. That being said, maybe a small rubber wheel from a Lego set would work on the motor shaft. Although I don't comment much, I am enjoying this series of tests! I think you are doing a great job. It would be so cool to see you check out a pottery workshop and try some of those wheels. There are probably some local pottery clubs or workshops in your area. I think you'd really enjoy the process once you get the technique. Based on what I've seen you to be capable of artistically, I think you could create some pretty awesome pieces. ... And it would make for some great videos!! Cheers!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying this testing series on my channel. There will be a lot of cool ones coming up over the next few months. I did take some ceramics courses in college, but I'd love to look into a workshop or weekend class. I even thought about getting my own professional wheel & putting it in the basement. However I'd need to find a place to fire my work - not sure that I would get my own kiln.

Hi Sarah we were thinking maybe you could wrap a rubber band around that little piece that’s supposed to push up against the top wheel to make it spin!! Good luck
I’m shocked you got the clay soft enough to make something for as old as it is. Kudos for trying!!!
Hey if you do like that kinda 1960s and 1970s maybe you should go to back to the 2950s! It’s a big car show and ppl dress up at the time it was and stuff it’s pretty cool!!
I had one of these back in the late 1970s. As soon as you put any pressure on the turntable it slowed down and stopped! It was totally hopeless 😢
I have an idea to try to use a pencil eraser by cutting it off the pencil and hollowing it out with a dremel . I hope it’s a good idea. I know you need something longer so maybe you could do two and glue one on top of the other before putting it on.
Kit C looks cool!
Anyone else TVD fans...Gilbert? Nostalgiaa ❤
You should do the compact magic paintbrush
Had a version of that kit. When you did the paint sniff, I totally cringed - it stank when it was new. Could have sworn ours came with powdered, air dry clay. Mom worked at Memphis College of Art, so we just used clay from there. Fun kit. Stop sniffing stuff.

I wonder if it would if been more if a collector's item. And worth alot of money. But the sponge disintegrating and that piece not there. I don't know if the value would of changed it.

A tip for the air dry clay : you can crush it down in to a powder and add water to it and it should go back to normal
