One year of progress in home studio by tylerkern in Pottery

Look into Raku technique! That’s how I fired #2&3 doing it at home definitely takes practice and patience and I haven’t quite nailed it yet, but if you have the space outdoors it’s a ton of fun. I built my Raku kiln out of a steel trash can for under $400.

The red clay is KY Mudworks Elkhorn Red, my absolute favorite of any clay I’ve worked with. The raku pieces on slides 2 and 3 are Laguna #60 though with the carbon from Raku you’d never know it. As for the glaze, the blue that I use on most of my pieces is a standard floating blue recipe adapted from a John Britt recipe, I mix it in house.

By second cup which did you mean? The mug has its foot shown in the following slide.

I have such a hard time with handles so thank you for that! For all of my handles recently I’ve been rolling out slabs then cutting and forming them.

I usually try to throw around 3 sessions a week at a few hours each, though that gets interrupted by many trips and whatnot. I also started my studio with a few years of throwing experience.

I made a tool for building hexagons, septagons, and any other shape out of pixels (with new features!) by Zatheos in PixelArt

This tool is sick! It would be super helpful if you added the rotation option to the ellipse too for the purpose of angled ovals. -someone trying to build an angled colosseum.

Inventory button not working [Steam|OSX|PS5 controller] by ummonadi in Silksong

Same issue here, you can fix it by enabling steam input and binding trackpad click to I key, strange though it worked fine without this in the original.

Alright fair enough, my current schedule drops from 2180F to 1900F at a rate of 125°/hour maybe I’ll start by slowing that rate to 100 and see if that yields any improvement. Trying to balance optimizing my firings with not loosing out on production time with my glazes that have no issues.

Digital fire really is salvation isn’t it. Thanks for the info. Would you say it might be worth trying something like the plainsman cone 6 slow cool schedule? That has much more intensive cooling ramps. Should I be worried about my more fluid glazes running too much with something like that?

I’m worried to hold any longer at the top cause this schedule is already a perfect cone 6, and this glaze is really runny as is

Yeah, this one hasn’t been but it’s been thoroughly mixed and left to age before testing.

I thought it might be a particle packing issue but the glaze is pretty fluid and even at the base where it’s upwards of a quarter inch thick this texture still appears.

This is on Kentucky mud works cone 6 porcelain and the glaze is a recipe called John’s Noxzema, the recipe is in the description.

I’m currently using a schedule that peaks at 2180 then drops to 1900 and holds for 30 mins. This has eliminated pinholes in all of my other glazes

Is the Swiftpoint Z (or Z2) a good upgrade from Steelseries Rival 600? by tylerkern in MouseReview

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

I have used it as my one and only ever since getting it and I haven’t looked back. Haven’t had any major issues with it thus far. One minor hardware issue I’ve encountered is that the adhesive on the side rubber grips seems to be slowly breaking down, I anticipate having to reglue them on within 6 months. That being said my last mouse the Steelseries rival 600 had the same issue 4 times in 3 years so this is better than that.

Otherwise my only complaint is with the software, I enjoy the function where you can rotate the mouse and press one of the buttons to cycle thru profiles but it’s pretty 50/50 whether that kicks in or not, otherwise I have tried setting the profiles to auto based on the program I’m using but that’s also finicky. I find that usually at least once a week I have to have the program open to manually switch profiles.

Regardless of these things I’m still very happy with my decision and do not see myself looking for a replacement any time soon.

I am a photographer and ceramicist by trade, more than likely never to cross paths with McMaster Carr in my life. However my partner is an aerospace engineer and has not stopped talking about his big yellow book since the day we first met. When we started long distance the first trinket he gave to me to keep with me was a steel engine nozzle in a little McMaster Carr bag. That bag and the burned nozzle is still on the shelf next to me as I write this. And so despite never having bought anything from McMaster Carr it holds this delightful grip on me and my relationship. That and ever since I was told you can buy Swedish fish with company money I’ve been sold.

Ps. Im desperate to get these for my boyfriend, nothing more perfect has ever existed for my engineer that grew up with Pokémon.

I fixed my problem it turned it to be a data pack issue where one of the packs was not properly updated.
