Additional information
I did not know until reading more that the shell should be cooked in a fire first before crushing. I found it very difficult to crush the shell and this step would have made that process much easier. I think when I make a mistake it is very Important to point it out to the readers so that it is not repeated. Now with that said i should be OK because i ground my shells very well and much of it was dust. I may have some organic matter in the shell but there is not much i can do about it at this point. Also those pots that fail will be crushed and added back to the following firings and will have the shell aready cooked. So if the pots fail again then this is just a step that can be concidered as a material producing step.

Thank you pappy? Wish I had that pit of yours to fire in. I got the next pot made and now
 it is a matter waiting for things to dry.
