      Pretty hard to take a decent pic, but I guess you get the idea. Punchin holes to 8mm thick belt was a pain.

        Bought a Pfaff machine friday, and got myself some 21OZ canvas. Started out like this:

        End up like this:

        First time sewing with a machine, so relatively happy. Need to clean up some loose ends though 🙂

                  Thanks lads!

                  The machine works admirably, it went trough 21 oz cotton canvas up to 5-6. Now I just have to find a nice wax to waterproof the bag with 🙂

                                  kidding  😉  …All of my stuff is packed away in storage right now.  But I will go get it this week and photograph some pieces that are worthy for you and the madame.

                                  Thanks for the appreciation guys, I'm a solitary bugger, so the warm reception means a lot to me...I've never shown my stuff outside of family/friends.

                                      Another tenmoku glazed bowl:

                                      The three-tiered ripple foot is extremely difficult to execute.  The piece is trimmed upside-down on a spinning chuck braced only by the middle finger of my left hand.  The ripple is created while the bowl is spinning by pushing inward with consistent force towards the center with a hand sharpened, traditional japanese trimming tool.  It requires a steady hand and delicate timing as this is not a conventional way to trim Japanese porcelain, I made this process up myself.  The vibrations caused by doing this (it makes a loud noise and shakes like crazy) shatter inferior bowls.

                                          As of right now, yes, totally a hobby I do on my own time.  However, I did earn a college degree with some of the stuff I've posted here, but no money.  I've sold a few things here and there to people who were interested, but not enough to call a living.

                                          Much and many thanks, seawolf!

                                            I'm a complete novice but I took three years of ceramics in high school. Been meaning to get back into it.  I really loved it and totally appreciate nice pottery now. You just moved recently right? Do you have access to a kiln yet?

                                            Keep up the good work.  Can't wait to see more when you're ready to share. You're very welcome. Well deserved.
