But I have wanted a little drum sander most of my woodworking career. I miss working in a shop and having access to a nice timesaver wide belt and not having to worry about it.

Just saw that a 10-20 drum sander is up for sale locally on the same day that I was looking at a low angle smoother. At this point I feel like I’m still gonna end up just getting a new smoother because I don’t REALLY have room for the drum sander footprint 😂 plus a smoother is prettier.

Trimming a pot I forgot left out, luckily this one was just the right stiffness for trimming. The other was getting a bit to dry and was more like scraping clay off the surface.

Thank you! I have a couple Dino fossil designs too but they’re a little too big for this tile as it is, I do think I’ll end up doing more Dino stuff!

A friend asked for 3 planters around 10x10 which of course means I need to throw them almost 12” most of these are like 10x10 wet 😂

Bigger planters today. 8lbs 11 lbs and 13lbs none of them got quite as large as I wanted, good throwing session at my friends studio though.

I’ve found myself staring at my wood stack a lot recently. I’ve been wanting to start a new build but want to change how I build some things and can’t quite figure out what way I want to go. Our internet has also been down for 2 days so it’s been hard to research 😂 instead I’ll finish what’s started

This yellow glaze I normally call buttered. And on the Halloween ones I tend to rename them to fit the theme a little bit but I haven’t thought of a new name for this one I don’t think. I don’t remember what I listed it as. Got any ideas? lesserimppottery.etsy.com

This might be one of the few large bowls I’ve done that I really liked the end result other than kind of wishing id done a bit more design wise. Normally they don’t go well. I dig how this raspberry glaze kind of went a bit more June Perry purple than ever before. I like it.

You can see more of the bronze trianglesThe bowl looking down, with a rule on the rim. The bowl is 9” diameter

I do think I might do some groups something like this and then the rest in broad categories. If you want a group and tell me what you want in it before I list them I can probably make that happen 😂

Hmmm that’s a really good idea too. I don’t love listening them single for that reason anyway. I’ve had people buy just the one and it’s kind of a whole thing 😂

So I made 30 or whatever magnets. And then didn’t do my in person sale. Now I’m trying to figure out how to list these clearly and efficiently on Etsy. Or if I’m even gonna list them or just do them as freebies on multi piece orders. Made so many variations
