Hey Folks,

I'm making 3 & 5 pound bowls now so I thought I'd make a video on how I li=
ke to trim. I've tried tap centering without wadding and lost or damaged to=
many for my quality level so I returned to the way I was taught...

Some folks were talking about throwing huge heavy bowls like J.T. Abrenath=
y Punch Bowls but I'm still thinking about working up to that weight of cla=
y. That seems to me more of a physical challenge than a practical sales opp=
ortunity item. I want my customer to be able to hold the piece under a load=
of food and not drop it. Besides, I don't think the kiln will hold huge pi=
eces and be practical to fire.
