Thread: started my first scuttle

I used that new scuttle for the first time this morning. Put water in the outside bowl, put it in the nuker on sensor reheat. let it sit with TGQ cream in it while I took a shower. When I got out the cream had melted down. Added the water from my brush lather whipped up fine, and even after 3 passes the later was still the same temp as the first pass.

you must have had a huge smile after hard work paid off! nice job be damn proud of yourself!

Raku is very cool, and so is pit-firing. But the results are very porous, and a raku or pit fired container will soak up water like crazy. Extremely beautiful at times, but no good for domestic ware.

That's what I was finding the further I looked into it. Awsom decoration, bad utility.

I made a new scuttle the other day, and got it out of the kiln today. I started a new thread for it: http://straightrazorpalace.com/misce...tle-2-0-a.html

I won't have to explain the design of computer engineering solutions to people who have no knowledge of computers. It's funny. All the A's are ArchE's who's speech is something along the lines of this... "Bridges are falling down. We should maintain them better. My solution is to maintain them better."

I facepalm every time I think about the amount of research and work I put into my speeches to get a C for being too technical.


Cool looking scuttle. Now make me one!

write your texts as though you were speaking to a class of 5 year olds.
