John, you are the antithesis of Wiley Coyote.  Ol' Wiley never stepped back and considered what went wrong with a project, never learned....he just went to his big Acme Catalog and ordered a bigger rocket.  Something tells me Wiley shoots a wheel bow these days.

You, on the other hand, court the mistakes in order to learn the hows, whys, wherefors and so on.  For an artist, you have a scientist's operating system installed in that wet-ware betwixt and between your ears.  Maybe that's why I admire you.  You are the Paleo-Rennaissance Man!  Nice combination of right brain/left brain.

RidgeRunner:
Have you ever heard that filling the pot with " DRY " sand will help even the heat out as it is fired?

Never made any pottery myself but heard that someplace.

bowtarist:
Well said JW!  John, Man you have added handles to this pot, even a harder area to control the heat.  :o  Can't wait to see how it comes out.  When you weld cast iron, sometimes you use sand to slow the heat loss down.  might be an idea, also covering the ware w/ broken ware like you said in part 1.  I'm staying tuned in. dpg
