Hello @skcamerican, U have the right idea, eyeing everything for possible use! Teaching with no budget forced me to innovate! Jim's 'Mudtools' are great but pricey -and students tend to 'misplace' them. It's a clothes pin & twisted fishing line. Works great! Thanks for watching & commenting.

@melindamarner2284, Only "Bisque" should always be fired with lids in place. The reasoning is that they will shrink at the same rate as the bottom part, and still fit when they're done. Even if warping occurs they should still 'fit' and function. As you get more experienced there may be a rare circumstance when you would want to fire them on the same shelf but not 'in place' on the pot. *There are special considerations for firing *glazed* pots with lids so be sure to watch some videos on that topic to prevent "welding" your lids to your pots! Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Good luck with your new kiln! Cheerio! jw

Hello @SeaNicStudios, Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! ;-)

Hello @Blessedpb, Is 'composite' like a Resin? or Corian? My Mom was very picky about what her sink was cleaned with after she had her kitchen re-fitted with a beautiful Resin/Corian sink. I bought a special cleaner that was especially FOR those kinds of sinks and it worked like a charm. I don't remember what it was called but I do remember it wasn't very expensive. I bought it in a Big Lots store in Texas. It might be worth it to go to the extra trouble with those sinks since they can be damaged with certain cleaners containing bleach. For example I used Clorox on a resin sink of my own and it is permanently discolored... kind of yellowish in a worn spot. The material underneath the glossy finish was easily stained. I'm glad you found my video cleaning enamel porcelain 'inspiring.' I just want to caution you with your 'composite' sink. Thanks for watching! Let me know how it comes out and what you ended up using! Cheers! jw

@@BrokenArrowPottery I surely do appreciate your warning but youre too late...I've had it for about 5yrs and I've put everything I've got on it. Mr Clean magic erasure with Dawn liquid does as well as anything but takes a lot of elbow work and my elbows are so old that I'm looking for easier ways. :*D Before this sink I had a quality enamel for 20yrs and it still looked new when I replaced with this awful composite. I don't remember what the compositio was but it was top of the line. Anyway, live and learn, sure wish I had my cream colored enameled sink back. I put put a layer of "white Oxyclean" in both sides of sink and sprayed with a mist of water and then sprayed good with Dawn Power Wash spray and the next morning the TX had removed most of the stains. I do think your TX will be more effective because the paper will stay moist longer to keep things activated. Not sure when I'm going to do it but will let you know the results. Thanks again! p

Hi @katielove9932! Good points! also mentioned in my video. I expect the staff to use common sense selecting & issuing mats to patients appropriately. (Not a 'one size fits all' is it.)

Hi Marina, Mine come out about 18-20" wide and they are usually composed of squares about 5" each. Three rows puts them at about 15" the other direction plus the width of binding, etc. But there are no rules! You want it to be manageable in a person's lap without falling over their knees. Heavier objects are best toward the middle rather than around the edges. I've seen some about the size of a large place mat. I've also learned that a 6-9" wrist-loop on a corner with a snap is good so it can be fastened to the arm of a wheel chair or part of clothing to keep it off the floor. Thanks for your caring & questions. Blessings to you and yours. Sincerely, jw

@AudreyLynnStudios Hi Audrey Lynn! Glad you found me! Welcome!!! I found you too and you do beautiful watercolor as well! Very nice pottery too. I like that turquoise mug with the peel-around handle. I've never held one to check the comfort. Yeah those pendulums are fun. Lots of laughter and raised eyebrows! LOL! Thanks for watching! I subscribed. jw

@BrokenArrowPottery Thank you so much for your kind comments. The peel back handle is surprisingly comfortable. Of course, not as comfy as a regular handle but some people will suffer for something different!🤣 Take care!

That is true! LOL! I'm remembering those pointy toed high heels we used to wear! OMG!

Hi Therese! Gosh, any brand of nails will do as long as they are NOT galvanized. You don't want to expose yourself or students to fumes from the galvanization stuff which is tin, I believe. I remember buying them at Lowe's and I'm sure they're made in China! Of course. My bisque fire: ^04. My glaze fire: ^6. But read the glaze label to be sure your glaze is right for the clay. I always use ^6 clay body. Rainsticks and rattles are a favorite for all ages. Thanks for asking! Have fun with them! Cheers! jw

@@BrokenArrowPottery I wonder if those nails would work for making low fire (cone 06-04) glaze stilts… I think I need to give it a try! 😉😁

Therese, I wouldn't do that for stilts. You'll have everything falling over & sticking together. Even for low fire clay you want the regular stilts with that special wire that will support weight even at high temps. You can purchase that wire for making your own stilts but you need a tougher clay for it. As an alternative you could use little clay balls under unglazed areas of your items. I have done that at school when I didn't have enough stilts for everything and no budget to buy any. They are pricey. Good luck if you try that... it might work once or twice but low fire clay doesn't like to be fired repeatedly. Let me know how it works! Thanks! jw

@@BrokenArrowPottery I’ll place everything on a big cookie incase the nails fail and the test pieces fall. I have a bunch of nichrome wire, so not worrried about that - just always looking to try new things. I have a couple of slipcast and other hand-made pieces that I like to glaze all over so use stilts… even if the nail stilts become single use… might be worth it. I’ll keep you posted. :)

Excellent! @@MzTreeLdy Sounds like you're on top of it. I still would like to know how it works out. May try it myself! Thanks! jw

@eddiespottery8439 HI Eddie! Yes! You make a good point! And for that & my friends I am thankful! Cheers!!! jw

@pottersjournal Hi Jeff! Oh yeah, the pendulum knows... I should have asked it about power reliability before I fired up. LOL! That's as reliable as any weather forecast I could get... Lids! are a conundrum too. After 4 lids I might be tempted to accidentally push the crock over a cliff & be done with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? However, potters embody tenacity! You know it can be done and by golly you'll eventually get one that works! Thanks Jeff, you made me feel better about a couple of large lids, "Frisbees," I've made for a big jar... I'm going for #3 on one now. Never give up! Cheers!!! jw

Hi Therese! Wonderful! Happy to know my videos are appreciated! Be brave! Throwing is so meditative & rewarding... to take a lump of clay and make something with it. I hope you have a wheel or access to a studio. Something tells me you'll be happier if you at least give it a try & satisfy that nagging little voice saying, "Go for it!" It won't take long to get back up to speed. Muscle memory... Let me know how it goes! And thanks again for your comment! jw

Thank you April for your kind suggestion. I do desperately need a camera person & some decent camera equipment! Are you in my area & available? We could probably do some bartering if you are.

@aprillemaster8142 Yes, that would take a while. I'll just muddle through somehow...

Hi Patricia! Thanks! That is an Opulence color. Standard Ceramics also makes one that is almost the same in color but isn't as runny. Thanks for watching! jw

@@BrokenArrowPottery I just looked at their glazes and see one called Sea Spray. Is that the one you used? Thanks!

@patriciasadlertrainor6771 Oh my goodness! Have they quit making it? Oh dear... I will go out to studio & see if the label on the bag or shipping box are readable and will get back to you. Thanks for asking about it... ! jw

@@BrokenArrowPottery no rush, I just think it's very beautiful ❤️

Hi Patricia! I only have the bag & the label says "Sea Mist (blue)." It didn't pop up when I searched for it on Opulence. Either they don't have that one currently or I've made a mistake if it's Standard's... but that sample tile they show sure looks dark... I have used Sea Spray by Opulence (beautiful & runny, lighter and sort of opalescent which rules it out). Another close one is the Step-One of the Coyote brand of Texas Two Step Oilspot which I have also used with a clear gloss over. While looking I saw a new one (to me): 26AquaF Series by Amaco. In all, keep in mind that firing temp, application, clay body, use of underglazes & who mixed the glaze (case in point is that SeaSalt I mentioned). Plus the lighting, photography & videos and the different computers it's viewed on can really skew colors. I'm going to look at that 26AquaF Series by Amaco, a generally stable supplier, and your question has brought to light that I may also be looking for another nice blue when this is gone. Hope that helps! Thanks for your question & for watching! Feel free to communicate if you have more questions or comments. I'll help if I can. Cheers! jw

Hello @Mariede425! Glad you found & watched my video! I was told they are some kind of "think-tank." I am working on the kiln opening video showing the rest of that batch of bisque, now glaze fired. It should be posted in a day or so. Thanks for watching & commenting! Cheers!

Hi @willowmoon7173! Thank you! Yes, most underglaze colors are good to ^6. However some are not. The label should have that specific information on it. If it doesn't or the label is worn off, test it before using it on something you care about. Everything in this particular video was fired to ^6. Thanks so much for watching! jw

@pottersjournal Hi Jeff! Glaze welding! Exactly! I wish I could sell a platter too! Ha! My birdbath may also end up as a center piece; I wonder how one of those little solar powered floating fountains would work in it. Indoors or out. Glad you like the bead trees. They have certainly held up well. Next load is firing as we speak. It's going to stay below 90 today! Days are getting shorter and you'll be gathering greens & making wreaths again soon too. We need time machines to slow things down don't we. Thanks for your comments Jeff & for watching! Cheers! jw

Hi Michele! Yes it was from the same jar of Amaco "Wax Resist" but the formula actually contains latex for brush-ability I guess. Is that what you used? The difference for me this time was that the piece was higher in the kiln... close to the middle. So the temperature could have varied enough to be a factor. Last time all those spitting pieces were on the bottom where it is generally hotter. What do you think caused yours to spit? And I don't understand my Oatmeal!! LOL! You aren't the first to say how weird that is. It is in the original jar, premixed, etc. I've learned to live with it but might use it more often on vertical surfaces if it would stick to the pot! Ha! Thanks for your comments Michele, and for watching! Cheers! jw

Thanks Eddie! From one full-ish bisque fire I usually need two glaze fires to get it all done. The kiln is almost ready to go again! We have a cool day coming up & I'll fire the rest of it as long as there is a "low to no" chance of storms & power interruption. So stand by... there's more. Lol! And as always, Thank You! for watching! jw

@eddiespottery8439, Have some cameras, not up yet. Plus I need a tall ladder & someone on the ground (to call 911 just in case) ;-). Cameras will take night pics. Happened during late night/early morning. Nailed right in the sidewall, not repairable of course. (That probably made his mama proud.) I just did a glaze fire though (video coming soon), and left car 'elsewhere' until I could get it back inside. Going to fire another glaze load again soon. Waiting for some Arctic air to come whistling through. Maybe it will cool it down to the 90s? Good to hear from you! Keep well! And be cool! jw
