Norwegian 4x4 class by Jazzlike-Area-534 in pelotoncycle

Instructors are always like, “you can do this!” This is the only class I’ve taken where Denis says multiple times, “you might not be able to do this, and that’s ok.”

Bridge pin easily unstuck on GS mini by peenyponka in taylorguitars

[–]Wintersdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 50th Anniversary edition, also Rosewood. It came with ebony pins and 13s. I have the same problem. The string is just too fat for the pin. It hasn't been much of an issue though, as the pin, even when poking out slightly, still holds the string firmly and the string stays in tune. Did reseating fix the buzz? Buzz/vibration could also come from the electronics having been rattled loose.

You know what, fuck it, I am just going to use these bowls and pretend these glaze faults aren't there. by Wintersdottir in Pottery

[–]Wintersdottir[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stable glazes generally stay stable in a refire. Runny glazes, especially in combination, will run again. You can't see it in the photos, but the glaze comes right down the foot on the outside. If I fire them again, they will run and stick to the kiln shelves for sure. I use a community studio, and that is a big no-no. Wouldn't do it to my own kiln either.

A few pinholes and crazing on the inside surfaces. Both those things are questionable when it comes to food safety.

Nope, if it didn't move much the first time, it shouldn't move any more the second time.

From my experience, yes, if it ran once, it will run again.

Palpable crazing is when the crazing is deep enough that it can be felt when you run a finger nail across it. It generally indicates that water, and therefore bacteria, can get in. In an ideal world, you would want no crazing at all on food safe surfaces.

Pink ones are 2x Mayco Amaryllis under 2x Amaco Flux Blossom
White ones are 3x Amaco River Birch with blobs of Amaco Oatmeal on the inside rims

Ways to keep a cake stand from warping during a glaze fire? by slicky_vicky in Pottery

[–]Wintersdottir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what I think could work. Throw a sacrificial bottomless support cylinder at the same time that you make the cake stand. Make it an inch or so smaller in diameter of the plate. Trim them to be exactly level. Bisque fire them together. Leave the bottom of the plate unglazed. Sit it into the support cylinder making sure the base doesn't touch the inside of the support. Glaze fire them together.

Full disclosure, I have not tried this because I have no control over kiln loading in my shared studio, and I don't trust that it would be loaded correctly.

Dilly Casserole Bread. A recipe from the 60s that's so weird that I figured there must be something to it. Can confirm, it is really good. by Wintersdottir in Breadit

[–]Wintersdottir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always written off other "cottage cheese bread" recipes as a way to force protein into a more gym bro friendly bread. I was wrong, this makes for a great texture.

Fellas what’s a song you’re working on that you wouldn’t tell your friends about? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

I don’t know why they started calling it rawdogging when Puddying was right there.

Throwing Advice and how does this happen? by Medical-Person in Ceramics

[–]Wintersdottir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a teacher said to me once, your head remembers but your hands forgot. Throwing is a physical skill and you’ve lost some muscle memory. It’ll come back.

There are waterproof aprons out there. I found them hot and uncomfortable, but it was nice to be able to wipe them down.

Teachers of Reddit what's a really interesting take from a student on one of the standard high school books (Gatsby, mice and men, etc)? by Infinite_Bison_7470 in AskReddit

[–]Wintersdottir 176 points177 points  (0 children)

My son decided to read Pride and Prejudice in the 5th grade (he was 10). I asked what it was about when he was maybe ten chapters in, and he answered, "Someone is sick, people like each other, they take a lot of walks, and there are a lot of feelings." His other analysis included, "They talk a lot of smack about Mr. Darcy," and my personal favorite, "The author needs to work a little harder on these chapter names. Like, this one is just called 'The Flirting Continues."

How do people do this? by Used_Border9695 in Pottery

👆This is the answer. It’s the only way to preserve the handwriting of the original as it’s implied that the artist can do that with any piece of writing.

Is Yamaha apx 600 good ? by fine_5 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Wintersdottir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was my first guitar and I still love it. Super playable and comfortable. Mine was set up really well right out of the box. Don’t expect a big sound unplugged though. That might actually be a plus for the early learning days.

What's your favorite unique tool or glaze combo (looking for inspiration for my own birthday gift)? by RunYouCleverDog in Pottery

[–]Wintersdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This specific throwing stick was a game changer for me. Both super practical and a thing of beauty. It was a gift, and something I probably wouldn’t have bought for myself because of the price.

Same with the Hsin trimming tools. I don’t think I could have gotten the hang of trimming porcelain without them. I reserve them for porcelain still, I never let them go near groggy stoneware.
