On the Pot bottom grinding issue. Over the years I've experimented with various ways of smoothing pot posteriors (I use a sanded Stoneware clay), including a wide variety of mechanical means, and I find the most effective process is to hold two pots that need smoothing bottom to bottom, and rub them together in a circular motion.
Takes very little effort, costs nothing, and they're seriously smooth afterwards.

Hello Vince,
I hope your are reading the list. I bought my flap wheel - 80 grit from
Grainger. Installed it and had it working. Much to my dismay, it works
great in grinding off the bottoms but leaves very dark "burnt" spots
wherever you touch it to the pot. The dark burned spots are very hard to
remove but I was able to sand them off with an 80 grit sandpaper and a lot
of elbow grease. Kinda defeats the purpose!
What am I doing wrong? Looking for inputs and thanking you in advance.
