Here it is shown in the greenware stage where I have been adding earthenware clay (finely ball milled and with talc added) to the neck. It's a LOT more complicated than just adding wet clay. I have to use bisque mender to help bind it, rough up the original bone china to give it plenty of grippy toothy surface, and fill in a lot of cracks …

Just center up the chuck, anchor it with clay lugs, and center up the pot in the chuck. To hold the pot steady you have to put a lot of pressure on it while you trim. To keep from pushing through the pot with your finger, put a Snapple lid on the pot and push on it. Use 1 finger and let the lid spin with the pot.

Ball mill

I've been lucky enough to pick up a medium sized ball mill, it was used previously as a stone polisher I think. It has a 1/2 hp geared motor and octagonal body 500mm long and 450mm deep. I was hoping to use it to pummel some of the local materials down to dust for use in glaze and clay bodies.

When doing the demonstration, I would tell the students that there were several reasons for wedging the clay: Remove air bubbles from the clay. Mix the clay to an even consistency. dry the clay out somewhat.

Each part of the mould needs a release agent applied before the next part is cast, otherwise the plaster sticks to itself. Also some models need a release agent to stop the plaster from sticking to the model. Damp clay and plastic models do not need a release agent. Most other materials do.

Grinding Clay, Use A Hammer Mill?

use the human hammer mill. a sledge hammer, and a 5 gal bucket. never more than 10 pounds in bucket. think butter churn. ive made dust out granite chips and feldspar chips should be fine with clay. another suggestion was to place clay, stones etc between 2 metal plates drive car over.... refill and repeat. a ball mill would also work.

oldlady. a very quick way to make clay more pliable is to form a thick sausage about the thickness of your arm, wrap it in a very thick, very wet towel and smack it with a stick. not a yardstick stick, a club like stick. when you unroll and wedge it, the water helps and the smacking makes it more thixotropic.

Using a pug mill for softening clay

It is a large machine! I put a 5 gallon bucket of recycled clay into the business end and it never made it thru the machine. I like throwing with soft clay and would like to run my boxed clay thru the mill to soften it. How much water should I add? I plan to run several hundred pounds thru the mill.
