That was my thought as I watched this video.
Julie clearly has mastered her craft. I'm reminded of all the times when we learn from a master and our first impression is 'that's easy'. I also like how the video was produced, it's a great marketing piece as it captures the pace and flow of her craft.
I think I"ll have to add a DB scuttle to my shave wish list.
Interestingly, I've always thought of a scuttle as being a luxury. In the summer months, I think it's not particularly useful and in the winter months, I think that it would be nice thing to have.

Robert, it's a nice thing to have and to use all year long. Even on those hot summer months.
On those hot days, I leave the hot water in the scuttle to the last minute, and just before I start to make my lather, I pour the water out and just let the warmth of the clay keep the lather warm.
Makes for a very nice shave.

The wife says it's fun, but relaxing isn't quite the right word. Keeping a 5-20lb pile of spinning clay where you want it while you drag parts of it into shape is way more work than it looks like in Ghost.

I remember Mrs. Wind being sore from her hands to her shoulders the first few months she was learning.
Oh, and there's a hand thrown scuttle listed for sale in the BST forum. You know, if you were interested. *cough*

Good to know how a scuttle is made! Well done for Dirty Bird Pottery.
That's nice to see. Great hands esp when forming that spout. Thanks for the vid
