helmer kaolin + bison tools

I have interesting news about the
delivery times for Helmer Kaolin
based clay.
Saturday, November 10, I shipped
15 boxes of clay to a potter in Maine.
This is her third order. Today, November
13, she reported the clay arrived!.
Her cost is about the same as if she
drives to a local supplier if you add in
the time there and back + cost of fuel.
Wow!
Today, a fully repaired Bison trim tool
came back to us.
Thanks Phil. If any of you have
not tried the Tungsten Carbide trim
tools Phil makes, I can say they are
really great for production.
Barb has used that tool for literally
thousands of pots and it was still
sharp. It broke, finally, at the braze
and Phil made it good as new in
no time.
