Conquering the Wheel · Wobbly Cylinders

Hard

Throw five cylinders without wobble

The consistency test. Throw five consecutive cylinders from 300 g each.

The challenge

All five should be:

  • Straight and centered
  • No visible wobble at any speed
  • Roughly the same height and diameter

Cut each off cleanly with a wire tool and line them up for comparison.

What this teaches

Repetition reveals patterns. Maybe your third pull always introduces wobble. Maybe you drift off-center when you're tired. Five pots in a row surfaces these habits.

If 3 out of 5 are wobble-free, you're on track. If it's 5 out of 5? You're ready to move on.
