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.
