My Five Favourite Trimming Tools

I'm always being asked about my tools, be it the trimmers, the spinners, the sticky pad I occasionally use for troublesome pots or even the metal kidneys I use. So, this weekend's video is all about five of my favourite tools for the turning process. I'll try my best to link to them below, sadly the spinners I like are no longer produced, Richard Carter made and sold thousands of them and has retired. Please do let me know in the comments about your favourite tools for trimming, throwing or even glazing. I'm always looking to improve my practice!

Thanks so much for watching!
