Hi.......I am mostly a lurker but I would like to share a light bulb =
moment that I had while attending a demonstration by Makoto Yabe at a =
nearby Community College. His description for pulling the walls of a =
vessel have remained with me ever since.=20
He said, "You begin at the bottom with the strongest pressure =
and as you raise the wall you gradually diminish the pressure. Think of =
it as 10 at the bottom and count backwards to 1 at the top." I'm sure =
many of you may have gotten this idea ages ago, but I was already =
potting for about 10 years when I heard it and it made a great =
difference to me. =20
Thanks to everyone for so much good information. You are =
the best!
