      faceted,beaten, sodium silicate heated on surface, then thrown from the inside only. Interesting. My physicist husband is intrigued by the surface behavior of the clay.

      Marcia, I would be soooo interested in a tong that's not damaging the surface of the objects. Keep me informed if you succeed...

      I'm with Bruce, hilarity of the broken grammar aside, some type of waiting period, or something of the like, would help with the SPAM.

      So far the spam seems pointless but not offensive. Providing it doesn't become offensive I think there's no need to go to the expense and time to make changes

  8. Got the cables replaced on my raku kiln. used a lubricant and a makeshift clothesline separator to keep the cables from twisting. All is well and super smooth. One hand can easily life the kiln chamber with the counterweight.

  9. Installing new cables on my top hat raku kiln.

  10. From the album: Raku

    The Border fence cost $42,000,000-$142,000,000 per mile along the New Mexico,Arizona, California Texas Border. It has not stopped people from crossing for purposes of immigrating, drug smuggling nor weapons trafficking.People die almost daily.

      will have a look. I have plenty of reptiles in my yard. cats love them. The only two ways to Austin are either cross a big fracking development with huge trucks and crazy drivers in 2 lane blacktops or go through San Antonio up the most congested interstate I always try to avoid. It is a long haul either way. Not West texas.

      aprox. drive time on that is about 5hr 35 minutes.. give the big trucks the room they need and make sure when you pass them up you can see both headlights in your rear view mirror... I always hated to drive through Dallas, Ft. Worth, there are some idiots who must have gotten their drivers license out of a cracker jack box "prize" lol
