hang10tiki I'm always happy to see you pop up here.

Hammo that's so fun. I clicked back on a prior page to see what the number of posts were at that time and found that every post changed to 7,200. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I better get to work and make it 7,201!

Progress Report on Wish List #8 and the Sacramento Crawl mug for October 2018.

We carried all of these dry mugs from the garage to the shed.

As usual I fine tune and sand the mug and Dan takes it to blow off the dust with the air compressor and then he

loads it into the kiln. Here is the bottom level full. Time to put the next shelf in place and to keep going.

The first mug I made I used regular sand paper. So much I think I spent $30 to do 50 mugs. Someone saw my photos and told me of mesh sandpaper. It last a very long time and

when it fills up with dust you just tap it against your garbage can and it falls out.

Top level is full and I started the kiln to do the bisque fire.

But we didn't stop. I told Dan lets keep going until the shed is full of sanded mugs. Then we are ready to keep loading and firing. Rain was on the way and once it comes we can't work outside.

We kept it up until

the shed was full. Then we called it a day and headed inside to take showers.

I try to assembly line. But this time it's in batches.

Cheers, Wendy
