seems less-than-ideal. looks like he's losing a lot of pressure at the unsealed joint between the nozzle and the bellows. also very heavy. maybe if he rigged up some sort of pully mechanism and thinned the clay body, as well as finding some way to seal that joint it could be more successful. then again, the pot already broke being very thick so perhaps not.
