Talk: Build a Coil Pot (Taller Vessels)

Tech Level 2

Last edited · 92a9d6f · tewelde

Purpose

Discussion for improving the coil pot article (joint reliability, build pacing, and shapes worth teaching first).

Open questions

  • Should burnishing be promoted to a full step for water vessels here, or stay a note shared with the pinch pot article?
  • Is one stiffening pause per 2–3 coils the right default across climates?

Proposed improvements

  • Add an SVG diagram (coil rolling, scored joint with slip, blending strokes).
  • Add a cooking-pot variant with notes on thermal-shock-resistant shapes (rounded base).

Decisions

  • Coil building is Level 2 (depends on the Level 1 pinch pot article for drying/firing fundamentals, which are not repeated here).
