(4 videos by DJG on Google video. One is about 4 minutes in length;
another is nearly an hour long. The action is too slow for me to watch
all the way through. He states in the 4-minute movie that no trimming
is needed. I don't agree. Maybe little trimming, but not none.
Perhaps after bisquing or glazing, he grinds his footrings. The
throwing rings aren't attractive to me either, because they're not
uniform. I'm also doubtful whether that little whorl in the middle of
the bottom would be water-proof, though probably a the liner glaze
inside would prevent leaks.

I don't mean to be disrespectful of anyone's techique but I found that
painful to watch. I throw with very little water, slip to begin with and
then pretty dry towards the end. anything of that size that takes that
long to throw just doesn't seem practical to me. Fine I admit... I'm
biased. I like MUD!
