That's cool Dani, I would love to see some of your "thrown" work sometime. I had plenty of oppurtunity to learn how to throw way back when, and passed up taking any real time learning the craft in favor focusing on other types of clay hand constuction methods. I could just never get into the whole Zen experience of throwing I guess..still, there's always time to go back and learn if I wish...

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by having an extruding secret?? There's a ka-zillion models of extruders on the market that allow one to extrude almost any type of clay cylinder they wish...hollow or solid, at almost any diameter one might need?? If I could afford one, I'd have one for sure. I think Henrik has one...lucky dog.

Do you mean you made a secret hand made extruder that does something these don't? I once made a big ass press using the weight of my car...now that was fun :-)
