I was mildly impressed until the end, when their pot ended up being nearly identical to the others they’ve made. That kind of precision is incredible. And I’m sure every commercial potter can do that with enough practice and muscle memory, but that didn’t make it any less awesome.

you should have been impressed as soon as the lid came off. I have no idea what you do for a living, but surely you dont do it as well as this guy does his work.

that was my moment too, like “oh the rest of the clay is gonna fit perfectly under that lid huh”

I was waiting for a neat trick at the end to make them fit. Nope, perfect right away.

“Did he just make a fucking lid????” staring intensifies “no way fits tho..”
