In trying to build my own portable sculpture stand,
I remembered David Hendley's wooden bat securing
system. It worked great on top my Shimpo banding
wheel for my first try at this.
Please don't laugh at my first attempts of sculpture
instruction though! This was after the first class' three
hours later. We meet the next five Tuesdays and I
absolutely love it. It feels like home and I'm once
again motivated on another clay tangent.

You go Kim'O. Looking good. Making the tools can sure be fun. Are you
finding it difficult to adjust hight once you are along enought that
things are heavy?
I'm looking forward to see your completed project. Tally ho!

Howdy Taylor -
I'm figurin' the height will be set in the beginning after
I have in my head what to make. But, if the
height needs to be adjusted it's easy enough to do.
As long as I don't go higher or wider than my kiln.
In this system, the work is filled with combustibles
like shredded newspaper held together with masking
tape so it doesn't need to be cut, hollowed, scored and
slipped, then reattached. I love that! Saving steps
is fun.
Today I have the slabs on the top third of the form
stiffening up and then I can begin. If too much weight
is applied in the beginning it flops and slumps.
I learned this technique from Heidi Meiers at
http://portrait-sculpture.com/phpBB/index.php
She explains her techniques very well and provides
excellent images to better understand.
a big Texas Thank You,
Kim'O
