Stranger gives an old bottomless electric kiln away and I get to bring it home.
Why not convert it to a TDI downdraft gas kiln. Yeah.
Spend evenings studying geological maps of my surroundings. Get sexy data.
Ride the car around with maps, find some wild clay in the ditch, find more in some secret spots.
Gather this rock and that one too. Fill me buckets.
Get home to crush, get home to slurry.
Wish for colors, hope for surprises. Work for nothing much most of the time.
But some other times, after the burn, these get to come out.
