What do you plan on burning?

anything I want! I now have 220,000 BTU's

That's not a burner, that is a flame thrower. Cooker deluxe!

I thought we were cold at -8C here. Stay warm.

And here I thought it was cold at 40F

We going to see these results?

yep! I hope to pick up some today- mind you its just test chips before I glaze the next load- then i'll post pictures.

Yes. For small batches, soak toilet paper over night, squeeze dry, put it into a blender, add powdered clay body to be repaired,  Use about 25% paper to clay

about add some vinegar, and a smaller amount of sodium silicate 

Blend into a paste. Ad a little water if you need to. 

Dampen the bisque well before applying or else the patch will peel away.

Re-bisque before glazing. I have repaired students' handles and some of my own architectural work using this.

Thanks Marcia!

You know, the scientist are saying about 6 southern states are in an unusually cold pattern that has been going on since the 1960's. They call it a "Warming Hole" - go figure... 

Dam Russians!

super glue the wound-works great 

take care of your hand. I had to get a 1/4" piece of glass removed surgically from the back of my finger when I was drilling a support on the wall and leaned back on the floor. that took a while to heal. Keep your cut clean.

They know something we do not. 

it was 6 below here this morning....but I am certain it must be that cold or colder in Canada.....

(no spell check?)

Pinecones are better than the slugs and snails that my neighbour keeps sending over to my garden. 

yes. I am. Thanks!

My raku pieces are also in Raku; a practical Approach by Steven as well plus lark's book on Raku and Advanced Raku by Bill Jones and Alternative Kiln by Watkins and Wandless.

nice wire. I am going to use 2" wide flashing on my new one. 

Not been in my studio since mid November. Had the flu most of December, and the 0-10 degree weather does not suit me these days. I can heat my studio, just did not feel like doing it this year.

If they're running Dean Starks, or anything else related to core, you're probably not their priority right now. You'd likely get faster service in the summer.

nice. I want an artsier avatar like Mark. Will have to do some close ups of surfaces.

post results when you unload.
