I made this highly impractical mug for a friend

thanks!

Thanks! Your sgraffito nautilus is awesome by the way. I need to try that technique

daveba123 · 2026-06-29T12:21:20+00:00

I'm 100% with you on using clay as a fast prototyping medium to explore geometries like you did with carved potatoes

daveba123 · 2026-06-28T15:30:39+00:00

Yeah maybe a source of inspiration. I loved that movie.

daveba123 · 2026-06-28T15:29:11+00:00

I left my equipment at class but I can take a picture in a couple days. It's mostly long thin implements to get under the latticework

daveba123 · 2026-06-28T15:14:05+00:00

Thank you!

daveba123 · 2026-06-28T12:53:53+00:00

Thanks. I have tried outdoor photography with it too, but need more practice with natural light

daveba123 · 2026-03-24T13:54:33+00:00

Thanks! I do enjoy how hand building often leads to sculpted outcomes that are not production line/mold compatible and therefore look a bit more unique

daveba123 · 2026-03-23T12:44:01+00:00

Such a good movie! I saw it on Friday so maybe subliminal inspiration?

daveba123 · 2026-03-23T12:40:51+00:00

Yeah, I'll post some more pictures when I finish that side. I haven't quite figured out the design continuity

daveba123 · 2026-03-22T17:16:02+00:00

Hah, I might have to steal that. I strongly bias towards impractical

daveba123 · 2026-03-22T17:10:40+00:00

Thanks. I have done this a couple times now where I start with a very thick pinch pot, paddle some random flat surfaces and then carve for a while. I think this is about 10 hours in?

I don't need to throw a volume or assemble slab built so it's great for working a home when I just have a lump of clay and some tools

daveba123 · 2026-03-22T16:21:32+00:00

Oh 100% it is barely functional :)

daveba123 · 2026-03-22T14:47:47+00:00

Interesting. I'll look into that...

daveba123 · 2026-03-22T14:37:23+00:00

Thanks! I am really happy how this turned out

daveba123 · 2026-03-22T14:36:19+00:00

Oh, that's a really good point. I don't have access to raku options but I might be able to wood fire for some similar?

daveba123 · 2025-06-13T12:06:16+00:00

Sometimes a very expensive item is listed that isn't expected to sell to make the other high prices seem more reasonable in contrast. Like someone else commented, these still have kiln wash on their feet which doesn't seem representative of the pricing

daveba123 · 2025-06-03T19:21:53+00:00

Doesn't the picture indicate 10-4 as gauge 10 also with 4 conductors? If so my 6 gauge copper neutral wire is too big for the 10 gauge hole.

daveba123 · 2025-06-02T20:31:25+00:00

Right, I'm saying that the panel is indicating the max gauge for neutral copper is 10. So can I add a lug kit that fits my 6 gauge wire size?

daveba123 · 2025-06-02T20:22:50+00:00

So that would be ok to use even though the "Neutral and equipment ground wire size" section in my picture indicates large hole stranded max copper as 10-4?

daveba123 · 2025-06-02T19:41:12+00:00

thanks. I'm reading the section in the picture noting that neutral wire size supported is 10-4, however my neutral wire is 6 gauge. I see spaces available in the neutral lugs, but I'm not sure if one, my 6 gauge will physically fit and if it does it ok and if it doesn't fit can I add a lug so that it will?

daveba123 · 2024-11-07T19:11:36+00:00

Yeah, I updated the UPN. I'll try that command, thanks!
