Set the piece on a banding wheel or potters wheel and torch it as it turns. It doesn't take much before it is stiff enough to continue working.<br />Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-28510051320647118252014-07-12T15:42:16.726-04:002014-07-12T15:42:16.726-04:00Glad you had a good day at the show.
