00:00:00.000 hello and welcome I get asked a lot of
00:00:02.370 questions about my tools so in this
00:00:04.890 video I will be going over some of my
00:00:06.420 favorite tools what they do and how I
00:00:08.550 use them I will have links to everything
00:00:10.410 in the description box below including
00:00:12.660 the wheel that I use let's start off
00:00:14.969 with my throwing ribs I used to use this
00:00:17.880 wooden rib to throw with but I have
00:00:20.460 since upgraded to this blue plastic mud
00:00:23.010 tools rib it's slightly flexible which I
00:00:26.430 like for when I'm throwing some curvy
00:00:28.170 things I primarily use this tool for
00:00:31.349 compressing my walls as I throw this fun
00:00:47.399 wood and rounded rib was created by
00:00:49.140 another Potter shin chullin who was also
00:00:51.120 here on YouTube he sells his tools on
00:00:54.570 his Etsy or maybe it's his website I'm
00:00:56.879 not entirely sure but I will have the
00:00:58.469 link to his stuff down below this tool
00:01:02.760 is great for rounding out the bottoms or
00:01:04.500 the walls of bowls the three holding
00:01:07.110 notches in the back make it easy to hold
00:01:08.970 on to up next is my needle tool
00:01:17.070 there are numerous uses for this tool
00:01:18.960 but I use it primarily for compressing
00:01:21.150 down attachments like so or if you
00:01:23.250 prefer stabbing balloons with it that's
00:01:24.689 also fun
00:01:26.280 [Music]
00:01:35.500 let's talk about the mud shark by mud
00:01:38.030 tools while the length of this one can
00:01:40.010 be used as a straight rib it also has a
00:01:42.380 built-in noodle tool that can be stored
00:01:44.750 away when not being used on the other
00:01:47.150 end mimics a wooden knife tool used as
00:01:50.090 such
00:01:53.530 [Music]
00:02:00.140 [Music]
00:02:09.199 [Music]
00:02:13.560 and now for everyone's favorite little
00:02:16.650 red rib and you guessed it it's made by
00:02:19.500 munch fools I swear this is not an
00:02:21.420 advertisement this very flexible rib is
00:02:24.540 not only great to throw rounded bellies
00:02:26.340 with but is also perfect for making my
00:02:28.650 bottoms very nice and smooth so smooth a
00:02:36.870 chain my sponges are up next
00:02:43.019 I think everyone understands with the
00:02:44.550 yellow rounded sponges for I will save
00:02:46.620 you time and say that I just use that
00:02:48.239 one for a throwing now this fancy little
00:02:50.519 guy is called an elephant ear sponge I
00:02:52.680 will be honest I have had this one for a
00:02:54.870 very long time and I'm not sure where I
00:02:56.640 got this one from this very soft sponge
00:02:59.010 is great for smoothing out rough
00:03:00.420 surfaces I particularly use mine for my
00:03:03.569 freshly carved bottoms if you are
00:03:05.760 uncomfortable using a real sponge there
00:03:07.950 are other options which I will link down
00:03:09.870 below unto my very popular knife tools
00:03:13.709 they are made by mud tools and they're
00:03:15.989 called petal knives they come in
00:03:17.940 different curved blade shapes for
00:03:19.799 different thicknesses of carving style
00:03:21.930 this flat blade is the number 5 in the
00:03:24.450 series
00:03:29.440 I also have this one with a more curved
00:03:31.720 blade
00:03:33.270 it is number three in the series and I
00:03:35.640 use them as so
00:03:39.370 [Music]
00:03:48.110 you
00:03:50.950 [Music]
00:04:00.180 [Music]
00:04:21.668 this carving tool is a newer tool that I
00:04:24.350 recently started using it's made by
00:04:26.960 Eugene it is a loop tool shaped like a
00:04:29.600 teardrop with the tip at the very top
00:04:31.880 and it has it on both ends I like to use
00:04:34.700 one side for dark clay and the other
00:04:36.350 side for my porcelain so as not to
00:04:38.060 contaminate one another it makes a
00:04:41.720 really nice thin line texture
00:04:45.450 [Music]
00:04:54.500 [Music]
00:05:03.180 and my last tool for texture is the ball
00:05:05.220 tip tool this steam tool has a ball tip
00:05:08.520 on both ends just like the teardrop tool
00:05:12.250 [Music]
00:05:27.590 up next is my scoring tool this tool is
00:05:31.139 very handy for scoring it was created
00:05:34.139 with a neat USB style cover well stored
00:05:37.259 but I found that it can be a little
00:05:39.780 scary to open back up so I just keep
00:05:41.520 mine open
00:05:42.300 I like this tool because of the six mini
00:05:45.690 needles make for a faster scoring than a
00:05:48.060 needle tool and deeper than a metal
00:05:49.860 brush tool
00:05:52.120 [Music]
00:06:04.909 now on to my brushes if you find
00:06:08.249 yourself carving a lot
00:06:09.300 I recommend a rough bristle fan brush to
00:06:11.610 get rid of any clay crumbly bits in the
00:06:13.740 fine carved texture this one is used for
00:06:16.529 applying my slip I don't really have
00:06:18.270 anything special to say about this
00:06:19.619 particular brush any old brush will do
00:06:21.599 for slip this brush however is a very
00:06:27.419 special brush the soft bristles make for
00:06:30.089 a great cleanup brush I am constantly
00:06:32.520 leaving fingerprints on my attachments
00:06:34.439 which is easily erased with a brush like
00:06:36.479 this I also use it for softening out my
00:06:39.240 sharper carved edges
00:06:42.420 [Music]
00:06:50.120 if you're in the market for a good apron
00:06:53.640 I recommend checking out Koda aprons
00:06:55.970 these aprons are made here in the United
00:06:58.740 States and in my state of Georgia the
00:07:01.950 straps are held nicely in place with
00:07:03.480 these metal grommets and the cross back
00:07:05.940 keeps from having a tied knot on the
00:07:07.890 back of your neck
00:07:10.190 [Music]
00:07:12.310 they have a lot of different colors and
00:07:14.480 styles to choose from I will have a link
00:07:16.880 in the description box below to their
00:07:18.650 website so that you can look into more
00:07:20.330 information I hope this video was
00:07:25.310 helpful and answering questions about my
00:07:26.870 tools if you have further questions
