You could also make a slab pot base and do the same.

Bisque is the …
Bisque is the French spelling of Biscuit so he is correct.
You don’t seem to be able to even spell English words.
Just look how YOU spelled “Buiscit” ????
But you do seem to have a good grasp of “Text Speak”
So stop “LMAO” you retard !!!

Hey Dan, how long …
Hey Dan, how long do you usually wait to do your smoothing and trimming? I’ve watched almost all your videos and I can tell its “leather hard” or almost, but I only get to work on my pots once every other day (I don’t have a wheel so i work on them at school). I try to smooth them out when they are wet, but the best i can end up with is sponge streaks. any advice would be great. great videos!!

Why did you throw …
Why did you throw the upper part? Wouldn’t it be easier and quicker to mold it all? anyway respect for the skills

Hi,the banging …
Hi,the banging sound isn’t the bat being warped,It’s just the wheel motor making the noise when I apply pressure to the clay.
If you do have a warped bat then you could add a load of thick slip underneath to try to fill in the gaps and stop it wobbling.
Cheers,Dan.

I left the slip for …
I left the slip for 2 hours in these as I wanted it to be quite thick.
Cheers.

Dan, How long did …
Dan, How long did you let the Slip sit in the plaster mold before you emptied it?
January 20th, 2010 at 8:03 am
How do you deal …
How do you deal with the bat being off? I can hear that it is warped a little, I always feel like that throws me off. Any suggestions?

There’s the problem …
There’s the problem in my first attempt, NO CONCEPT of proportion! But so fun!!! Thanks for the idea! (Slab built here)

Dan, do you single …
Dan, do you single fire your pieces? Thanks . Ed

Just realised you …
Just realised you are left handed, but throw like you are right handed. Then you do all the fettling, joining etc with your left hand. Nice work Dan!
I had several pots from your pottery, your dad made them, but my ex wife has them now! I still have one of your salt pigs tho, and use it almost every day.

I usually just make …
I usually just make sure that the top is just narrower than the top of the square bit,and about 1/2 as tall so its 1/3 top : 2/3 base,then it usually looks OK.
Cheers,Dan.

Dan, what’s so …
Dan, what’s so impressive to me is the excellent sense of proportion. Had you made this form before the one in this video? Because generally when I make a composite piece like this I misjudge the relative size of my pieces and end up with a poorly proportioned piece of pottery =). Yours feels very balanced though, great work!

Another great …
Another great how-to Dan. Thanks…mark

That is brilliant:) I love it.

Love the concept of merging processes to make a new form. Brilliant !
I too love to see the ways to make the process quicker like pensandcalls does! (cheats in a good sense) Haven’t had much success with molds though…so I’d probably have to try this as a slab project myself
January 20th, 2010 at 8:03 am
maybe the lighting …
maybe the lighting does something, but i could swear the top was porcelain or white stoneware and the base was red stoneware? if so, why did you use two types of clay? thanks!

I like it a lot!!! …
I like it a lot!!! And can understand as you are a production/self supporting potter, you have to take short cuts where ever possible. For those of us who do it on a small scale, slab building would be the option. It’s a beautiful form!
