Recently, a thread about the spammers had some people questioning the validity (usefulness) of responding to the spammer's ISP by typing in "abuse" and sending it back. I did that not three days ago after the second attempt by those idiots to scam me. The response I got is printed below. SCORE...

Yeah - here I am again! Nag nag nag! LOL! So - I have been doing some pretty good work on the wheel lately. When I finally realized that I was using too firm clay, the centering go a lot easier! But - even if I have wedged the clay thoroughly just before slapping it on the wheel, I sometimes...

Is anyone able to tel what the voltage changes are for a thermocouple for each degree C. Regards SP South Africa

How long should your thermocouple be? Or is that to personal a question ;)? I am fixin' to get a new pyrometer, and I a new thermocouple will be needed to go with it, but I don't know if I should get a 12, or 8 inch. I have a very short one now, it might be like 6". my kiln is gas, 18.37 cu,ft,...

Hello everyone, I have small question about glazing and glazes. The problem is as follows: I've bought recently an excellent glaze (Botz from Germany), it's really good, it made some thin crust on the surface and the glaze stick really hard and not peel off during touching and moving to the...

I am thinking of getting rid of my 27cu.ft Laser gas kiln, but have not fully decided yet whether I will. It's in pretty good condition - totally serviceable, and working well. I am thinking of taking offers around the £1500 mark (they cost around £7k new, I believe - I may possibly auction it on...

What is your opinion of Thomas Stewart wheels? How do they compare with the other brands? What do you think of their customer service? Thanks for your help, Allen Steen

do any of the advanced / professional potters here work on a thomas stuart brand wheel? how do you like it and how does it hold up?

EWWWW!! I keep getting bubbles on my finished pieces. I have tried up to 40 minutes hold time at 1270 degreess, but they still show up! I am getting rather frustrated by it all. I can "repair" them by adding glaze to the holes (that are more like inverted craters going all the way down to the...

Hello Everyone, I would like to make a slab built bowl (draped over a mold) with texture on the inside and I'd like to put three legs on it. I would be shaping the legs or feet from a slab wrapped around the short end of a wooden spout maker so they will be hollow. My question is do you have to...

Hello, I have been throwing for about a year, but I still have trouble pulling my clay up (throwing, right?). Sometimes, I end up with a ring that just comes off when I get to the top. Other times, usually when I am making tall objects, the clay doesnt seem to move up at all after a while. Then...

Hi Okay - I have started throwing on my wheel again. But I keep getting these LUMPS of clay that seem like they are weighted on one side, even though I have spiral wedged them for at least 10-15 minutes before splitting them up into about half-kilo pieces, making those into balls by slapping...

Hi folks! I am finally back at my wheel after many months not being able to use it for one reason or another. I realize that it will take me a while to get "the feeling" back, but in the mean time, I have a rotten dilemma. If I throw on my wooden bats (I have 2), the holes are slightly bigger...
