I have never seen this subject mentioned on this list. Just wondering
if anyone has made any of these or that are specific in design. Would
love to see pictures if possible.
Thanks,
John

A funny story about making the fount. The pastor was very involved in the p=

rocess and was tickled pink to see the fount and base as one piece. The gre=

enware piece was drying on the slab roller and you guessed it=3D2C he picke=

up the rim and broke off a huge piece. He was mortified=3D2C jumped to hug =

and said "Holy Shit I broke it!" He was extremely embarassed. No problem=
