Thread: Scuttle 2.0

Thanks for all of the input. From many of the suggestions I think I'm on the right track with the adjustments I'm already implementing.

I have a couple more green ones that I haven't decided on firing yet, but now I don't think I will because of the seed planted by L R Harner. I like the idea of making a closed form, and then shaping the scuttle from that. If it works the way I think it might then it should implement most of the ideas that have been offered.

I'll try to get one done this week, and if I like it I should be able to fire it and glaze it by early next week.

Thanks for the help.

cool then when you get done on the wheel you flip over and trim her out with handle and spout
cleaning up the rim so that it has a slight lip would be super easy

have to get someone to take some pics of the work as you go
i want a wheel bad but jsuts to bog down the little electric ones (loved the big kick wheel in the back the shop) but that was when i was making some big stuff

any news
love seeing a new toy in the works

Updates Jerry? When you can please post all of them for comparison. Thanks

I'm curious if you need "beta testers"?

Blast one for me and I'll critique it. ;-)
( of course I'll throw some $$ your way)
I didn't read back thru all the posts.... What color choices if any? White is pretty cool!

I haven't had the time to be able to make any new ones yet. I will try to get one made this week. I have been trying to get my head around how to shape the closed form into a double walled pot. I suspect that I will have to pierce the clay to let air out as I push the second wall in.

Maybe after I have a couple made I'll have someone shoot it as I make it. Not the first try for sure.

dont thingk you will have to pierce the 2nd wall but if you do thats part the spout/ opening right
the inner closed part will havfe internal pressure and so will the outer hollow
but hey i have not made something like this in years

The one pictured looks great.
If you have any prototypes available I'd definitely help you get less cluttered.

Thats a nice scuttle !

I need a new one at work and would be very interested in purchasing one from you. I would rather buy one from a member here than from the supply company. If you PM me we can work out the details.

Thanks

thanks for the update
i like how you think (if i had a wheel i woudl be working on making myself a scuttle too )
till i can find the space and one at the right price i ll have ot stick to razors
