limited in your
work by size/technology=21=21

=3EHere's my problem(s): Naturally, I want the best kiln I can get for the
=3Emoney. Since I am, at this point, strictly a small scale, part-time
=3Epotter (but with big dreams about that ever-elusive =22someday=22), I =
think

=3Elike sound thinking to you more experienced folk? Am I going to regret
=3Emy conservativeness a year or two from now? Someone -- mel? -- said
