It's big enough to make (almost) anything I want and small enough to fire for a buck or two. I fired it 3 times this weekend and again tomorrow. Friday, I bisque fired the broken war club. Saturday I touched up the glaze on the Taurapa mug and refired it, it is now done and ready to go. Sunday I put some Magic Mender on the club and fired it again, it seems to be repaired. I have glazed it to the color of New Zealand greenstone (pounamu) and it is ready to fire again tomorrow. What is that in the background of the pic? Looks like a Maori hue (bottle gourd) - I wonder what that could be for? :wink:
