Two quickies: Is there an on line, reasonable source for a shipping box (about 8 inches by 6 by 6) sold in quantities, that has some recycled content? I'm having a hard time finding a shippable box with much post-consumer recycle involved, and the particular pot I'm shipping is being marketed to the eco-conscious types.
Also: I'm in the market for a propane powered weed burner that apparently answers to the name "Big Bertha". I met some wonderful potters who use one to harden big pots on the wheel before throwing taller. And mel (who I do believe could build a kiln out of garage sale finds and kitchen appliances) suggested that it might make a good burner for one of those little BBQ kilns. Oh, and I have tall grass in my wire fence that I could burn in the meantime. My local building supply stores were not too helpful. Any ideas?
I hate to be such an info hog... but clayart is an amazing resource. I now have my slop clay in a row of big cloth-lined plant pots, for example, have scrounged a bit of broken silicon carbide shelf for sanding, made a symbol to date my pots... this student is really taking notes.
Gosh, the america I live in seems pretty open-handed, kind and generous... not to mention the other potters around the planet chiming in here! Thanks in advance for any ideas... kelly
