00:00:28.320 i love the most that i use the most that
00:00:30.400 are the most essential to my day-to-day
00:00:32.960 success in the studio uh so i want to
00:00:35.200 share with you i have the 10 things
00:00:37.200 but first off i want to share with you

00:00:59.440 think there's i have kids shirts up
00:01:00.800 there too so we're going to be expanding
00:01:02.559 the merch line over the next year or so
00:01:05.119 boom all right
00:01:06.720 so this video we're talking about the
00:01:09.760 essentials okay the first thing on our
00:01:12.000 list things that we love in the studio
00:01:14.640 is this
00:01:16.000 on the wheel trimming tool from old
00:01:18.400 forge creations
00:01:20.370 [Music]
00:01:23.439 so i've been using this for at least a
00:01:25.280 year now
00:01:26.880 and i it's a guy makes it another potter
00:01:29.680 his name is old forge creations on
00:01:31.439 instagram and he's from the united
00:01:33.360 kingdom
00:01:34.320 and he makes these and he sells them on
00:01:35.600 his website you can go buy them what it
00:01:37.360 is is basically a tool for creating a
00:01:39.840 foot on your pots while you're throwing
00:01:42.479 so you can either choose to not really
00:01:44.640 trim it after or you just need minimal
00:01:46.880 trimming but it's basically a foot
00:01:48.640 finishing tool
00:01:50.320 saves a ton of time and it looks really
00:01:52.320 neat oh the other thing i love about it
00:01:54.320 is it works really well as a drip
00:01:56.560 catcher so you can see this is a good
00:01:58.799 example of a time when
00:02:00.960 if that little trim in there that i use
00:02:04.000 this tool for
00:02:06.880 wouldn't have been there or the glaze
00:02:08.399 would have dripped right off so
00:02:10.239 that's number one thanks old forge
00:02:11.840 creations for such a great tool number
00:02:13.599 two my essentials
00:02:15.500 [Music]
00:02:18.800 so these are the two sponges that i
00:02:21.680 throw with the most so the reason i have
00:02:24.080 two sponges i love this mud tool sponges
00:02:26.800 um this is like a synthetic uh it's
00:02:29.440 really soft and it is great for holding
00:02:32.080 in my hand like if you ever see me throw
00:02:33.519 this is what i have in my hand while i'm
00:02:35.280 throwing this one is to absorb water so
00:02:38.959 this one is a great throwing sponge but
00:02:40.800 it doesn't absorb water very well so i
00:02:43.280 use this sponge while i'm throwing to
00:02:45.760 stop up any water get slip out so there
00:02:48.319 should be a link to many of these tools
00:02:50.319 and these mud tool sponges in the
00:02:51.840 description of the video down below so
00:02:54.319 throwing sponges essential number three
00:02:57.360 is another throwing tool that i use a
00:03:00.319 ton
00:03:04.640 i love this metal rib also known as the
00:03:07.360 metal rib of death if you are a potter
00:03:09.760 and you've never gotten cut by one of
00:03:11.920 these
00:03:12.800 uh then watch out because they are sharp
00:03:15.120 and they will leave a mark but i
00:03:17.840 especially like the shape of this one
00:03:19.920 probably seen other metal tools where
00:03:22.000 it's just a more rounded um and it does
00:03:24.640 have a straight edge but this i really
00:03:26.480 like this tool it's great for creating a
00:03:29.599 shape like this so i use the straight
00:03:32.720 edge as i go up like this and then i'll
00:03:34.799 flip it around and use this edge to
00:03:37.120 create that indent right there this
00:03:39.599 metal tool and i don't actually know i
00:03:41.840 got this from a lady that i bought a
00:03:43.519 bunch of her old pottery stuff from and
00:03:45.599 i just started using it and i liked it
00:03:47.280 better than those other normal metal
00:03:49.360 ribs so that is it that's number three
00:03:51.920 the metal rib of life and death okay
00:03:54.720 number four and number five they go
00:03:57.280 together
00:04:01.519 okay so you've heard me talk maybe or
00:04:03.920 seen me use this trim tool on the wheel
00:04:06.720 so this is my favorite trimming tool
00:04:08.239 from another product from mud tools and
00:04:11.360 basically you can use either side you
00:04:12.799 can use this side for trimming like kind
00:04:16.000 of flat surfaces and then this side
00:04:18.160 works really well to trim in and get a
00:04:20.798 lot of clay out at one time
00:04:22.720 and so the other number five that goes
00:04:24.800 with this is this trimming spinner so if
00:04:27.440 you were taught to
00:04:29.520 center the
00:04:30.720 piece out when you're trimming it you
00:04:32.320 probably put little pieces of clay
00:04:33.600 around it to keep in the center and i
00:04:35.360 don't really do that anymore at all i
00:04:37.120 only use this trimming spinner so
00:04:39.199 basically what you do is you just put it
00:04:40.400 on top of the pot you put your finger in
00:04:42.240 there and it helps to disperse the
00:04:44.400 weight like if you just put your finger
00:04:45.759 there then you can make an indent it
00:04:47.520 just doesn't work that well so this
00:04:49.120 helps disperse the weight so that you
00:04:50.560 can just have the trimming spinner on
00:04:52.240 there then you use your trim tool
00:04:54.720 to spin if you want to try a little a
00:04:57.199 little hack for you if you want to try
00:04:59.120 out this method and you don't want to
00:05:00.800 buy this trimming spinner yet you can
00:05:02.800 use a cap just try using a cap from a
00:05:05.680 bottle just put it on there and use this
00:05:07.919 and it'll spin around so that's number
00:05:10.160 four and five thanks mud tools thanks
00:05:11.840 diamond core tools i wanted to just
00:05:13.440 share with you guys that we have an etsy

00:05:23.280 biggest restock yet i know i say that

00:05:35.520 the next etsy restock if you want to get
00:05:37.039 a john the potter pot i'd very much
00:05:39.280 appreciate it next one number six
00:05:43.040 [Music]
00:05:46.639 a
00:05:47.840 paint scraper or i don't know what you
00:05:49.919 call this but this you just go down to
00:05:51.759 your local hardware store and get a four
00:05:53.600 dollar one of these i love these for
00:05:56.639 taking clay whenever i throw on bats and
00:05:58.720 then you take them off i used to like
00:06:00.800 when i was in my old studio and i was
00:06:02.240 super messy all the time and there was
00:06:03.680 clay everywhere and it was a mess
00:06:06.319 i used to just leave the little pieces
00:06:08.000 of clay on the bats after i would throw
00:06:10.080 them and we're gonna talk about bats in
00:06:11.440 just a second but now i just like take
00:06:13.840 all the pots off the bats and i just
00:06:15.440 right away scrape up all the uh clay
00:06:18.880 it's so much easier so much better so
00:06:21.840 paint scraper you can also use these in
00:06:23.919 a similar way that you use the metal rib
00:06:26.479 of death it's just a little more firm it
00:06:28.800 does it's not flexible but you can use
00:06:30.240 it on the side of pots too so very
00:06:32.560 useful in the studio and not expensive
00:06:34.560 at all all right that's number six
00:06:36.720 all right going along with the paint
00:06:38.319 scraper
00:06:39.600 bats we're gonna talk about bats
00:06:41.560 [Music]
00:06:44.800 so i love using bats for a variety of
00:06:46.880 reasons i have thrown off the hump and i
00:06:48.960 have thrown
00:06:50.160 like where you just you know you throw
00:06:52.160 it and then you take a wire tool and you
00:06:53.680 move it i've done that but i keep coming
00:06:56.240 back to bats so these are the bats that
00:06:57.919 i've been using for a couple years now
00:07:00.080 they are from continental clay i love
00:07:02.560 the square shape of them because a lot
00:07:04.479 of what i throw is smaller pieces that
00:07:06.800 fit right in the middle of there and
00:07:08.720 these fit
00:07:10.479 you can fit so many of these onto like a
00:07:13.039 wear board so i have these wear boards
00:07:15.039 that are on my shelves over there
00:07:17.520 and i can fit ten of these across where
00:07:19.919 if i had big circle bats like this
00:07:23.360 you can only fit like three or four
00:07:25.360 so i love the shape of this so these
00:07:27.599 bats are from continental clay they're
00:07:28.960 made of like a composite wood uh and i
00:07:31.280 have a new bat system that i am super
00:07:33.280 excited about that i want to share with
00:07:34.560 you guys it's this
00:07:36.639 russian doll bat system from hartley and
00:07:39.680 noble so they sent me this hartley noble
00:07:42.560 is a company in i think they're in
00:07:44.160 europe or they're in the uk somewhere
00:07:46.160 and they are a husband and wife team
00:07:47.919 that makes these and it's like such a
00:07:50.000 genius idea so you have this and you
00:07:52.879 have pieces that can fit inside of this
00:07:54.960 so you just have to put this on the
00:07:56.000 wheel once
00:07:58.400 and then you can put pieces in like that
00:08:00.479 or you can put
00:08:02.720 this piece in
00:08:06.080 and then you can put smaller ones
00:08:08.240 so then you can fit even more it's all
00:08:10.080 about space saving so if you have a
00:08:12.000 smaller studio and you're kind of always
00:08:14.000 worried about like where you're gonna
00:08:14.960 put stuff like this is a great space
00:08:16.560 saving tool for throwing super little
00:08:18.639 stuff
00:08:19.840 i have i've had this for a few months or
00:08:21.759 not a few months a few weeks probably
00:08:23.360 and i've tried it out it's really cool i
00:08:25.599 also really like the both the
00:08:27.599 continental clay bat and this bat system
00:08:29.919 are not made of like a
00:08:32.240 non-porous surface this is a porous
00:08:34.000 surface so things dry more evenly on
00:08:36.399 them because the water can get soaked up
00:08:38.479 by both this and the continental clay
00:08:40.799 bats too so i like those composite mdf
00:08:43.200 like wood bats
00:08:45.200 better opposed to the plastic ones which
00:08:46.800 i used to use all the time okay bats
00:08:49.360 is that number seven it was number six i
00:08:51.200 can't remember
00:08:55.360 these things are the diamond core tools
00:08:59.040 grinding discs so these i have three of
00:09:02.399 them i have a coarse i have a
00:09:04.320 medium and a fine and i end up using the
00:09:06.800 medium a lot so if you're just gonna buy
00:09:09.040 one
00:09:09.920 then oh that's not the medium this one's
00:09:11.680 the medium so basically what this is is
00:09:13.839 it comes like this and then it has an
00:09:15.680 adhesive back so you have to use a bat
00:09:18.000 to put the
00:09:19.120 pad on but then you stick it on your
00:09:20.880 wheel and as soon as your pot comes out
00:09:23.440 of the kiln if it doesn't sit flat like
00:09:25.600 if you put it on the counter and it's
00:09:27.440 like wobbling a little bit you just
00:09:29.200 throw this on your wheel start spinning
00:09:31.440 it and then put a little water down and
00:09:32.959 it goes
00:09:34.640 and grinds it perfectly flat
00:09:36.480 i have literally saved
00:09:38.720 hundreds and hundreds of pots
00:09:41.120 with these grinding pads i do i love
00:09:43.519 them so they can get gla they get glaze
00:09:45.519 off really easily but they also just
00:09:47.200 make sure that their bottoms are flat so
00:09:49.600 diamond core tools
00:09:51.040 it's a great product pretty much every
00:09:52.880 time right before i send out pots that
00:09:54.480 have sold for the etsy restocks i will
00:09:56.800 go through and make sure if any of them
00:09:58.160 wobble then i throw them right on the
00:10:00.160 right on the wheel right on the grinding
00:10:01.440 disc
00:10:02.399 and then they're all good all right is
00:10:03.920 that number eight i think we have two
00:10:05.200 more
00:10:05.930 [Music]
00:10:09.279 so i recently did a whole video about
00:10:10.959 these kiln shelves because they are
00:10:13.600 blowing my mind how much i love them
00:10:16.480 they are so awesome so they're lighter
00:10:19.120 they're thinner they're
00:10:21.360 all that stuff you know is great but the
00:10:23.600 best
00:10:24.480 best thing about them is that when glaze
00:10:27.200 drips i had to go get this pot
00:10:29.440 when glaze drips off a pot so these were
00:10:31.600 this is a recent pot that i just
00:10:33.040 unloaded from the kiln and i kept the
00:10:35.200 bottom so i could show you guys so
00:10:37.120 before when a glaze would drip off a pot
00:10:39.680 onto a kiln shelf glaze drip right there
00:10:42.240 and i'd be like oh
00:10:44.240 then i'd lift it up and it would crack
00:10:46.800 and it would be all like there'd be
00:10:48.959 glaze all around on the kiln shelf and
00:10:51.040 then the bottom of the pot would be
00:10:52.640 ruined
00:10:53.680 and it was just a mess right so
00:10:56.320 literally now when you get a glaze drip
00:10:58.320 like this
00:10:59.600 you look down there and you literally
00:11:01.760 pull i'm saying literally way too much
00:11:04.480 somebody stopped me the literally police
00:11:07.200 you look in there you see the glaze
00:11:08.480 drips the pot comes right off it does
00:11:10.800 you don't have to pull it off and the
00:11:12.240 bottom looks like this and then all you
00:11:14.320 have to do is just use one of those
00:11:15.600 diamond grinding pads and you can just
00:11:17.120 grind that right down so it's perfectly
00:11:18.800 flat compared to the alternative where
00:11:20.800 you
00:11:21.519 have to like be
00:11:22.959 scraping it off and then scraping it off
00:11:25.040 the kiln shelf they are they are a game
00:11:27.440 changer they are totally worth the money
00:11:29.440 i have easily saved more pots in the
00:11:32.240 amount of money that i've already saved
00:11:34.720 in pots they've probably paid for the
00:11:36.399 kiln shelves already so yes they seem
00:11:38.000 expensive but uh the investment really
00:11:40.480 can
00:11:41.519 quickly pay for itself so fave tools
00:11:45.120 advancer kiln shelves oh i'm going to be
00:11:47.040 at the advancer kiln shelf booth at
00:11:48.880 inseca so if you're going in tikka come

00:11:59.920 their glaze eraser
00:12:02.350 [Music]
00:12:06.079 so this is made of the same stuff and so
00:12:08.959 there's little pieces of the columns
00:12:10.240 that will get stuck to there and this is
00:12:12.240 a tool to just like
00:12:14.480 scrape it and make it flat again and you
00:12:16.079 can use the flat side to go like this
00:12:19.760 or you can use this on your pots too if
00:12:21.680 there is anywhere on your pots that have
00:12:24.320 like a little area that's not smooth you
00:12:26.560 can just take this and kind of
00:12:30.399 so that's it
00:12:31.839 that is my 10 tools that i am loving
