Thank you to all who reached out about how we are doing from the big earthquake. I only lost 5 cereal bowls at my xmas booth and zero breakage at studio. Our home is fine as we are prepared for quakes and have out styff bolted to wall and our water heater and solar tanks are straped to walls. Yes we had stuff fall but it all made it fine. This was my best earthquake as pottery damage was so light.Our house is bolted to foundation as well so its fine to.

finally over the shingles and can start working in the studio. mostly to clean it up so i can find the tabletop.

It's been 7 weeks since my spine surgery and I'm happy to say that the procedure was a total success! I'm back to doing everything that I couldn't do and more. No back or leg pain at all. Looking forward to firing up the wheel again!

It's official, and medical mystery solved. I have Addison's disease. So an end to 30 years of declining functioning and having my issues foisted off on alleged "mental problems". Too late to rescue any of my multiple careers - but at least I still have enough life left, and now the energy, to spend lotsa time playing in the mud!

Best lightweight shelves for a wood kiln? My 18" x 18" silicon carbide shelves are a bit too heavy for my aging back...
-
I use advancers in my gas kilns for past 30 years.
They do not like thermo shock .
If I where you I would ask this question on one of the wood kiln firing sites.
Most wood folks I know use thick heavy shelves
-I use in my salt kiln for example the 1 inch thick 33 pounds per shelve (for a 12x24) dry pressed English high alumina shelves
wood firing is hard the older you get-all pottery is that way really-My 8 tons a year is hard on me at 68 yaers old

They call it 60s by the sea as thats a average temp on the coast (about 5 miles away) we get 80s in the summer and little freezing winter time. No freeways or traffic jams. Long windy roads in and out keep the crowds at bay. Walked the beach today witth my wife as i'm staying out of studio until Feb. except to clean it out
I feel for you Pres.

Hello, I am setting up my studio in an attached one-car garage. In order to heat and cool the studio and provide some air-filtration, I want to open a vent to the house’s HVAC system and make an air return. To trap silica particles and other studio dust from damaging HVAC unit, I plan to use a filter with a high MERV rating in the air return. Any advice? Thank you very much!

My wife's fracture is a spiral involving the prothesis. Present treatment is continue to wear brace/sling and see if arm will heal on its own. If not, future surgery will require plate and bone graft.

Hopoe she heals without plate. I have a friend who is getting her wrist plate removed (broken wrist fixed by local ortho surgeon)The plate was to large and her thumb tendon rubbed on it until failure -she is now going to my hand surgeon 300 miles away for the right fix
Good luck with the healing and lets all keep our fingers crossed for her
