Jeff,
I see why you can publish your methods freely; who else would be brave enough to try doing this? We all know the Devil is in the details. Amazing work and an excellent description. How many pots did you go through to get to the level of skill you now command? I first saw your work in PMI then in person at AKAR, beautiful, and intriguing.

I posted a comment before not knowing your process thinking you just carved lines into your pots inside and out,which would have been impressive,but after seeing the labor-intensive process you go through I have even more admiration of your work. bob

Thanks Matt! I’ve been trying to figure out something quick to do another blog post about. It’s been way too long since my last post, and I trim pots every day. I bent a kemper trimming tool and use it to trim when I trim the foot. I’ll make a nice post about that.

These are simply amazing. I am wondering how exactly you go about making that groove to place the disk in the bottom… Do you simply trim that with a tool while it’s still in one piece?

Awww-Full nice to see how you do what you do!
Even though I see how, you are still a Magician I think.
Thanks for taking the time to post your fun, Jeff.

You have knocked my socks off with your pots. I just discovered them tonight on Etsy and followed the link to your blog where I hoped to see how your work was made. Thanks for such an informative posting. I’m inspired to try some cut-n-paste on my pots.
