Min Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Thought I'ld start a thread for people to post links to some of their favourite or recommended online free videos. So many of us stuck at home now I thought it would be a good resource to help pass the time. I'll start it off with an exhibition of wood fired pots from Britain's Svend Bayer. Just came out today, it will be his last exhibition. It includes a section of Svend Bayer working, firing and talking about his work. Beautiful pots.

liambesaw Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Simon is more comfort food than learning experience, I'll give you that. He's a comforting figure you can tune into for some soul time. He has about 100 videos on making tankards but his British charm and soothing voice are something that I tune into just for fun.

There are days where I will have my laptop sitting behind me and have his videos playing while I throw. Something about that damn voice, makes you feel comfortable on the wheel. liambesaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a comforting figure you can tune into for some soul time. He has about 100 videos on making tankards but his British charm and soothing voice are something that I tune into just for fun. Well, I don’t know, I watched one episode of his and suddenly was going to convert the large Skutt KS-1227-3 I had gotten for free but needed about $600 worth of work and I’m still *@#$@% working on making my own PID computer controller for it, but the next thing I knew, having already gotten all the parts I needed from Skutt and Euclid’s for the new elements I was going to return everything and turn my kiln into a downdraft gas conversion! One freaking episode! I became obsessed and tried to find any information I could, the downside was I wouldn’t be able to use it for glass but my other kiln would be able to do that, and while my huge oval Olympus was annealing glass for 6 weeks or just full of oxidation fired ceramics, I would have a gas kiln I could technically fire in either reduction or oxidation if the Olympus was not available and I needed to fire some clays I have that are oxidation only. I was overjoyed! Days of work fixing it up gone, replaced by a day of putting a downdraft chimney in it which seemed simple enough, he uses a weed burner instead of Venturi burners so that would be cheap, I wouldn’t have to figure out that damn computer part, and best of all I had a chance to actually fire to cone 10 if I wanted since all of my kilns only go to cone 8 or even lower, and I could spend endless hours perfecting copper reds, getting beautiful celadon and Juns, and ….actually those are pretty much the only reduction glazes I’m really into, although I am obsessed with them if that makes up for a lack of interest in all other reduction glazes. Thankfully my mentor reminded me I would have to babysit for 9 hours every firing in my freezing garage in Minnesota, when I could be making work instead. That having never been taught how to fire gas kilns (other than Simon’s other videos!) it would be a steep, very long curve being able to get anywhere near cone 10 and managing to get reduction right at all. She estimated it would take me about a year of firing on my own before I would be able to consistently produce ware looking anything like I intended it to. That I wouldn’t get to use the Skutt also for some glass casting and fusing if it was gas. The thing that finally convinced me there was no way I should do this was misreading Ward Burner’s technical pages where he listed what size propane tanks you would need for different sized kilns, and thought for my size kiln I would need a 250 gallon tank but really I would regret it if I didn’t get a 500 gallon tank which, haha, I was not going to get a permit for in Minneapolis and my family was in no way going to let me put a tank that big in the back yard. In actuality I think you need like two 100 lb tanks which is totally doable in Minneapolis because I’m now doing one to start with for my raku kiln, they come out and exchange my tank with a full one once mine is empty and I don’t have to try and move it or anything. So I’m saying Simon Leach is not all British soothing comfort food, he can also be extremely dangerous and just so plausible and convincing.

So instead of slamming Simon Leach, let's focus on the positive. What videos do you recommend? Take care. I’m not sure where you read anything about my life, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with my post about Simon Leach, which was clearly a gentle poke at the man in response to people saying he is just so utterly soothing and comfort food and it was clearly a joke. But it was also just a different experience with Simon Leach where he is very influential with some things, hundreds if not thousands of people have been influenced by him to convert their kilns into gas kilns, that is some serious ability to influence people. Hardly just the equivalent of a cup of soothing tea. I’m sorry that you could not recognize the joke, I in no way slammed Simon Leach or as you are implying are taking out anything from my personal life out on him! I have to say I feel a bit offended that you used whatever knowledge you have of my medical situation to let it influence how you perceived what I wrote, assumed that it influenced me with my writing in any way, and frankly if you know the severity of my medical situation saying something like “let’s focus on on the positive, what videos do you recommend” is rather offensive. It is not for you to tell me when I should feel positive or assume that I wasn’t completely feeling positive when I wrote that post, as if listing videos I recommend is going to fix my legs and my genes by thinking positive right then!. Maybe consider being a little more sensitive next time, don’t assume so much, and consider whether you should take out your sense of humor when reading a post.

I'd enjoy it even more if I could filter out that annoying Brent wheel whine. On the other hand, I can play his videos at the studio and it does help to drown out the country music that inevitably starts as soon as the studio manager leaves for the day.
