Oh man, one 35 square test done and I am pooped. They really take some concentration.
-
Me and plaster of paris never seem to get along.
-
Oh oh. What have you done?
-
Maybe you were a plasterer in a past life and your soul is tired of it.

I am forever managing to break my moulds mid pour and getting plaster sploodging out everywhere
and not mixing up enough volume. After about 6 separate batches yesterday I finally got a little better. Last pour was a good one with the right consistency 
Still can't seem to get the moulds for batts that came with the wheel to fit ! arg, emailed skutt to see if they can help.

Finally getting round to casting plaster batts for my wheel. Been putting it off for a long time because I know that plaster will end up where it should not be!

Still can't work out how I should do it properly
-
post it as a topic, someone has done this, I am sure.

Been in the Lake District for a few days, very lucky with the weather except today for the solar eclipse
no luck seeing it this morning. -
So many new white/clear glaze tests. It's so amazing/frustrating how the same stuff can do so many different things.
-
Joel, have you mixed up any from the John Britt book?

Only 1.5 hours to go
I think I have read everything on this forum tonight haha. -
Don't you hate that? Post more things people!!!
-
When I have 10 hours sitting in front of a computer with 3 hours containing any kind of work you get a lot of time to read... Still they pay me to teach myself ceramics so I am happy
-
Cracked open The Kiln Book and I am slowly becoming very confused amongst pressures, flow rates and BTU's
-
Same problem when I tried reading it. I really don't know much about gas kilns so I read the book first ignoring numbers. Then I went back and started to make sense of numbers on second go through.
-
The burner chapter is pretty dry.
-
It is complicated to work out the best pressure and sizes of every piece in the burner. Once I can grasp what everything does in relation to everything else and be able to see the numbers change as I change values of the hardware it should be plain sailing from there.

Beautiful cup. -
Edited a new video as I didn't feel like making pots the past few days.
-
Neat video High Bridge! Although I'd like it when people talk in their video... You could comment. You know what? I thought you were middle age, reading your comments here. Don't know why. Thank you for sharing! Tried to post a comment on YT but couldn't...
-
Thank you
I am working towards maybe doing commentary but I only have the rubbish microphone on my camera. Researching into sound set ups is on my to-do. Yes I am only 24 hopefully plenty of years left to keep learning. -
Sound (voice) would be great! And hey, you know already quite a lot....

Really like this idea.

I made sure to tag the threads with 'community challenge' so a search should be able to find them easily if they are not stickied. I don't think it will jam up the forum, there is only really the one thread or maybe two if you count the ideas proposal thread. The original thread will sink to the depth soon enough. You could probably get some weather extremes into the sky project I do like the motion idea. There will be no running in the studio only a leisurely stroll. On a serious note, there is no kind of competition, just a results thread. Maybe I should explain that in the rules.
-
Any comments on the challenge? Post them on here, would like a bit of feedback. Never really tried to set up much like this before and I forgot I was at work tonight so may have missed something out while trying to multi-task.

I want to thank you too, for all you did and all you will do for the challenge. Great idea!! Going back to my studio now, reflecting about the theme....
-
Thank you for getting this going! Must now to the sketchbook and beyond...
-
Yes, thanks High Bridge....
-
Post your ideas for challenges here. Like peoples ideas for them to have a bigger chance of being selected for use. The more popular an idea the more likely it is to be chosen.

Anybody know if there is a way to save or draft posts?
-
I have three kilns. Hoarding much? xD Plans for a gas conversion in the old one. Now to find my Olsen book

I only have two as well Crusty, and one is a simple Raku kiln. Nothing wrong with just having two, or even one.
-
No need for more than 1 mode of firing. I just love kilns and how they work. Really interests me and I love fire.
-
*sniff* I only habs one... :'(
