About This Video:
I made a small pottery wheel to form pots on. A pottery wheel is a small table on which pottery is formed that is able to be rotated about an axis to form more symmetrical pots. In this case it is a slow pottery wheel meaning that it is turned by hand rather than being turned at high speed by foot power or other means. A wooden frame was made to hold the axle for the wheel and a cane strip was used to hold the axle on to the frame while allowing it to turn. Then a clay table top was made to fit on top of the axle. A stone bearing block held the lower end of the axle. A clay pot was then formed onto it whilst turning the table to better access all points of the pot. The pot was then fired and tested. The slow wheel is good for forming pots but is hard to set up. It also turns too slow for pot throwing (spinning the pot at speed and forming with the hands by drawing the clay up). Future iterations might be a kick wheel with a fly wheel for momentum or some other means of powering the while leaving the hands free to form the pot.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick – An axe, pick up a stone and shape it – A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

You're the best Mr plant
Скоро плешивый путин ядерной бомбой жухнет, остатки мира будут так же жить! Остановите войну!
Hello mr. Potter
"Now the table has turned" HAHAHA good one.
If there was ever a YouTube channel to watch after world war 3, it would be this one
Чуть потолще ось гончарного круга- не будет болтанки👍
Did the pot survive the water test? any leaks?
This video is crap, because you fail to speak and tell us what you are doing.
Good job

Maybe you should make nail clippers from iron in your next video. ;). Just a joke. Great stuff man.
4:02 Oh how the turntables!
Keren😀😀😀😀😀
Maybe some pine pitch glue on the cracks will help
Seeing all this weight balanced on such a thin stick makes me anxious XD
What I'm really looking forward to is hunting, when do hunting techniques start?
I think his videos just highlight how important pottery was as an invention. Being able to make waterproof durable and lasting containers really is one of the biggest innovations in human history.
You're a gem. Youtube should pamper you.
Awesome! I would love to see him juujz up some pots in the next clay episode…. try your hand at some squiggly lines john!
all these wonderful innovations, STILL hasn't made a bow with string to make fire faster.
How the tables have turned
Bro is gonna leave archaeologists fuming in a few hundred years

Me: WAIT WHAT?
Can you make a Crossbow??
Getting pretty good at that fire starting by friction.
My favourite youtuber <3
hey wow! I commented about how he needs to make a pottery wheel in the previous video and here it is! Did he read my comment and decided to do it or had he planned on making it already before I said anything?
It's amazing how much cleaner looking the pottery wheel makes pottery look.
He is the only one cave man unlike other similar channels that imitating his contents.
My man i started with my own attempt at making primitive pottery and your video's are such a good source of information/inspiration.
Thank you!
Sounds are fake, of course
Thank you
fire sharpen tip. tip sharp. fire good. silent man happy.
This channel is like finding out that your favourite band from 10 years ago has just started releasing albums again.
was expecting a bigger setup with a lower wheel turned by feet but this was great too
