Koz:
Was not here for your 1000th post, barely here for your 2000th. Should have just shot me an email and gave me a heads up: you have it. Plenty of turf to walk on in the jungle. So I will work on: Rudolph, the red nosed reduction- for Christmas. Or have you done that one too? Pull down the kiln song: perhaps you can put yours up.- would like to see it. The thought we have the same sense of humor is frightening.
Greg: I think that is one of the differences between vertical and horizontal work: stress on the clay. As you noted, sink and large platters, you have to slow down through the inversion because of drag. The first time I fired my large 12 x 16 arch tile: it literally ripped it in half. The second time I threw alumina under it; still cracked the edges: third time I just used plain ole river sand and they came through just fine. But I also added a ramp from 1000-1100F @ 100F an hour.
Koz: Jim and I like technical papers, just as much as you enjoy throwing. I am looking for something; its that simple. Although I have come to the conclusion that Jim just post links to send me on wild goose chases: he has that sense of humor.
Tom
