I could not center clay due to muscle weakness until I bought this a couple years ago. I have had teachers come to my studio and they were interested in buying it after seeing how amazing it is. I have back, shoulder problems and I have a past shattered wrist and I can easily use this and can't live without it. Best investment and easy to instal!!! Paula
Hey where can you buy this strong arm? How much? My wrists are shot, im thinking this might be the answer to still do pottery?
I'd love to see a different angle shot so we can see what your other hand is doing ❤ love the outcome!
Wow
Such a cool invention! Genius 👑
I like your way, I like your work, I like it.🎉
How can you adjust the centering part to clear your splash plan and still come close to the bat?
I'm surprised that none of these strong arm videos show it used for centering large abounts of clay. It looks like 25 lbs wouldn't be too difficult, but I think the most I've seen is 12 lbs. I'm guessing that most potters who can work with 25+ lbs are already able to get it centered without an aid.
Another video she says it is good up to 15lbs.
How many lbs can you center with this? It looks like it'd be really handy for centering large amounts of clay.
awesome! ...........my day might have come to start using this tool
Amazing.turorial.Thank youuu
Is the strong arm for sale in Belgium?
Strong Arm Yes, you can use it standing up and in a small space! I have a 6x8 space in the garage and still have a rolling table for handbuilding and shelves for storage/stacking.
Wow!👀😍
Great tool solved my centering issues and help save my arthritic Hands. Beautifully designed & built with excellent customer service. Strong Arm arrived quickly and well packaged.
Thank you for sharing , I make ceramics for a living and my wrist is suffering damage at 29 , so for those who have issues physically this is a God send!
do you still sell the strong arm centring tool? your website is down
The design shown here has it screwed into the top of the pottery wheel. What I received has a clamp style mounting and it attached under the table of my wheel. My wheel is the BIG BOSS. This type of attachment is causing my wheel to wobble and I was wondering if the top mount with four screws is available and if so the clamp mount be removed and replaced with what it shows in your video
Got mine yesterday and will be setting it up and trying it out today. So excited
Going to be putting mine together today!
Perfect! I have a Shimpo Aspire and glad to see that the Strong Arm will work with it. I am having issues with wrist pain and weakness when trying to center.
i just ordered one to help with wrist issues. cannot wait to get it working.

Muchas gracias por mostrar herramientas que nos facilitan, estàn excelentes. Saludos desde Turrialba Costa Rica.
Very cool, whatever opinion one may have, at the end of the day this tool can only make you a better potter. Nice rim too!
Makes you a better Potter? Not sure of that, maybe makes you a Potter who hasn’t learned how-to center properly. In the demo the top of the lump of clay was never centered which made the rim a bit wobbly. The opening finger could be a good thing for getting the depth right which is sometimes tricky on big pots and nice flat bottom is nice but no I don't think it makes you a better potter
@@benwhitfield2786 A better potter(in the long run).
Thanks for the demonstration
Ou peut-on trouver cet outil merveilleux ? je souffre d'arthrose et ça m'aiderait beaucoup, si quelqu'un sait où on peut l'acheter, je suis preneuse
You should record in landscape instead of portrait.
LOVE it!
Thank you for your video! My wife is keen on getting one of these now.
I'm having problems with hands, locking fingers, wrist and shoulders. I've worked with my hands in a salon for 50 years. At the age of 68 I'm having problems centering large pieces of clay. With the recommendation of a well known online potter in the clay community, I was recommended The strong Arm. The PCV pipe is genius.. Thank Carol and Marc for all the demo videos. I've watched them several times before I decide to purchase the STRONG ARM.. Forever grateful that Marc invented something so I can continue To do what I love, CLAY 💙
looks like a great way to center.
Good information. Thank you
I own a Strong Arm and I am so happy with it! Best investment ever!
Super useful impressive tool
I think this so clever and so practical.
better use winged nuts
i love love love this! i've had 6 hand surgeries but just can't give up pottery!
I guess it's clever and I mean no disrespect but if I had to Center using those frfs I would probably just quit throwing. It only takes me maybe a minute and a half to Center 10 lb 12 shouldn't be that much different. I'm a big guy I mean I don't know if that makes a difference I've seen some pretty little ladies Center huge balls of clay. Again I don't mean any disrespect I'm not trying to say is cheating or anything cuz you do it you want to do that's how life works I just don't think I would feel like I was part of the art.
Clown Whisper this isn’t for everyone, what if you had a bad wrist,or hand,ect?? Or you just don’t have the strength? This is where the tool comes in handy 😎
Clown Whisper or what if you’re in a wheelchair? Something else to think about 🤔
@@marcsstudio well I can relate big time if that's where you're at I don't know I just skimmed by this video. I have paraneoplastic syndrome and basically my immune system has attacked my central nervous system leaving me in excruciating amount of pain. So I guess if I was worse than I am now perhaps that does make sense. Although I tend not to use my legs at all for centering I stay put because I have a lot of upper body weight where I don't have to really get up to lean into it. I just started throwing again after 45 years and I'm really liking porcelain which is very very soft and easy to Center. People 10 to say it's difficult to work with I think it's that much easier to work with I don't know maybe it's just me. But I guess this would be a wonderful helper tool for people lower handicap. I was not trying to be judgmental at all like I said with all due respect I just I have such a hard time with space around my wheel. I need to sit in a different dimension where I can have ten times the objects close at hand LOL. The plunging tool to me would not help with a handicap however. Digging in seems to be the buff the easiest thing that you could do but I still take my head off to whoever invented that pretty ingenious. My biggest problem is flipping my hand upside down to draw the clay off because of the pain in my arms. I'm not really trying to brag or nothing but wanted to relearn throwing so bad over my entire life then it's all coming very easy to me no I've watched a handful of videos from an Asian gentleman and I can't remember his name but he throws what looks to be porcelain exclusively and I've taken every tip if he's given and it's just been spot on profession for me. I'm throwing pots and vases exactly like this gentleman now after 3 weeks. Everybody around me thinks I'm some kind of savant LOL. It's just a guess that I loved it so much as a child in high school or actually know it was Junior High Middle School the last time I threw that I've always kept it in my head and held on to those Pathways I guess I know that sounds kind of silly but I can't explain it I don't know what the hell's wrong with me I didn't mean to complain about this I've just been so happy to get back to it I guess that my mind rejected the artificiality ugly helper tool which is absolutely ridiculous now that I think of it. I apologize
At a glance many people form an opinion about this tool..I understand ,it’s not a conventional way to throw pots. This tool is for helping people who have physical challenges that make throwing pottery painful or not possible at all!! It has saved careers,empowers people with disabilities and also enabled people to make pottery far bigger than they can do the conventional way... that is what this tool is ALL ABOUT!!! Been making these for many years now and love what it has done for the community...Marc Gaiger- owner of marcsstudio and strong Arm pottery tools
I don’t think this takes away from the art. There is so much more to it than centering. If you can’t center for what ever reason this just helps you get to the next step
Did you make this tool? It is awesome! If you made it, can you include directions?

Of what material is that hollowing tool/piece made? From the video, it appears to be made of a softer plastic material.
awesome carol !
