Could you show us how you restore the kiln shelf after something sticks to it? And how did you fire upside down without the top sticking to the shelf?

Sir I have been watching youtube for 14 years. This is the first channel that excited me. Not this video particularly, the channel as a whole. Thank you.

Love the outro of throwing pots! I could watch those all day

Thanks for pointers on reglazing. Very helpful for beginner learning to glaze. It can be mysterious.

Hey Jon, I put my in the oven at 170 F degrees for about 15 minutes and then reglaze, takes longer put I have had pretty good luck. Hmm firing up side down sound and looks interesting, will have to try it. Thanks for your videos.

I put my mugs in the microwave for a few minutes before reglazing. Works great!

One note, when using a heat gun to warm the pieces, before reglazing. As the wares are vitrified, they don't respond well to thermal shock. So they heating should be done gradually, and the heat gun moved around, as to not focus the heat in one spot.
I like the look of the mug you fired upside down, in regards to thr flowing glaze look. I don't think I'd like the drips on the rim though. It would be awkward for me to drink from. Plus with firing upside down, you have to deal with either having a bare rim, or getting rid of stilt marks, on the inside.
A little kiln wash with alumina hydrate on the cookies will allow them to release way easier.
Also, I'd definitely wear leather gloves when dealing with jagged glaze bits. Those edges are like a scalpel!

Love your videos!! I’m starting a home studio after 5 years of not throwing I’m super excited! I’m learning a lot from your videos, your origin story is great and you do awesome work!! If you have any tips for someone just starting I’m all ears!!

I did not see that John answered the question "how do you fire them upsidedown" If you use kiln furniture as I have done it leaves imperfections where the metal rod touched the cup. How do you get around that?

[karieeefsting]

You answered my question about the cookies on the bottom.
Thank you for showing how to reglaze. That covered a bunch of questions.

A question, when you fire upside down and you get the drips on the rim, how do you support the mug so it doesn’t stick to your shelf?

[guycoulson]

Thanks for the great video! Your mugs came out great. Quick question though. What do you rest your mug on when you fire it upside down? Wouldn't it stick to the shelf?

[ClownWhisper]

Get yourself a set of cheap wood chisels for knocking drifts off before you grind them they're great for cleaning shells as well a lot of times you hold it at less than a 45 degree angle a little tap with a hammer and many many times it'll pop the little drip right off the shelf

[nyrew]

I've officially watched all of your videos! Amazing and inspiring

[silkandcottonhawaii]

I love those upside down drips! Super rad!

[AdastraFFF]

See ya next year Jon...Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family.
