stack

I finished up the stack today. I actually may need another foot so I'll have to scrounge up some brick for that. I came up way short on brick so I've laid them edge-ways instead of flat once I got above the dampers. There is some sort of taboo against this sort of thing but I would have never even made it through the roof otherwise. This will require some sort of bracing because it's not as structurally stable as if I'd laid them flat.

This is how I transport my bisqueware back home. I just lay the ware boards in the back of my truck and hope for the best. It is about a 4 mile drive so it isn't too bad, a couple yunomi took a tumble there but they're ok. All the bigger stuff and pots that wouldn't be stable enough are packed into the cab. I had two full trips to bring home and I have a full bisque cooling right now. Most of this work is glazed already, it's easier to do it at the university. My ash glaze bucket is at home so pots like those bakers and some other pots will get glazed here. I also do any decoration work at home so it doesn't get compromised during the trip.

The reality of a firing is getting closer and closer. Only a couple weeks behind schedule, that's not too bad right?
