I LOVE this! I can't wait to see what you do with the glazing part. It snowed today, here in North Carolina that is quite rare. Everything is closed or cancelled. Lots of time to work on my ladies. Did you have to alter the head for assembly on the pot? In the photo, the pre-work seemed a longer snout. I'm worried about the extra weight on my drying pot. I don't want to miss that sweet spot as the right leather hard to attach it, but I also don't want to cause the top to collapse! I think I'll do a bit of both, a bit of "off the pot" and a bit of "on the pot".
