Its all in pieces...

I think that must be a lyric to a song of even the name of a pop classic. At any rate, it seemed fitting for my pug mill this weekend. I spent all day yesterday trying to get this thing fixed.
I did get out alot of aggression and I think I must have used some pretty good arm muscles in the process but the rusted barring won't move. DRATS! That barring, as you can see, is so stuck on there! I may try and wack it again some more today after it sat all night in some more WD40. I think on Monday I may have to call around town and see if anyone here can fix motors. What will do if I can't get this things fixed! POTTERY NIGHMARE!!I threw a few things with one of the new Standard clay bodies that I wanted to try. Its a very grey looking clay and pretty stiff. I think it may crack even more than the Helios I use but I"m not 100% sure about that yet. It may not even like the sprigs!

Happy fathers day to all the Dad's out there. We are planning on a little bit of shopping and some lunch today. I hope to get back in the studio tonight because Blowing Rock is right around the corner!

Have you tried heat? Carefully, since there's WD40 in there now, but a little torch action might break it free.

I wish I had all the hours back in my life that I spent fixing our pugmill. Yup ours needs fixing too.

I would be completely helpless trying to fix something like that. Good luck!
