Hello Friends!
Today, the second day of Rosh Hashana. Iwish you all a good, a better
year.
During the time I was not connected I made many tests. Also read a
lot.
Our local system was bad, A machine called "Router". Yes there was the
"red code", but this router was the main "punishment".
It was very hard to connect to the net, so I tried to connect and while
listening to the terrible noise of the modem trying to call the net,
leaning a book on the monitor and started to read.
At least I got this good habit of reading.
"My" Bedouin women are in vacation now so I have all the time for tests.
It was a good time to concentrate and learn the system of Matrix glaze
software.
I read the letters I had in my hard drive again and again, tried some
recipes too.
Next Sunday I hope to add some more tests to the kiln.
Before my disconnection I started to change my site and was stuck too.
I will send my tests results to the list before the uploading of test
bars. I think this kind of work testing is kind of relaxing work might
help you these days.
I was told once How nice it was sharing my knowledge.
I think each one would like other people to appreciate his work, as
for me, I hardly sell work. If my knowledge helps any of you makes me
feel good!
While testing "Looks like wood fire in electric kiln" an Idea of Lana
Wilson, I felt suddenly dishonest!
How can I test or give advise about a glaze I never seen but in books
or the net?
So this is life.
I know there is at least one kiln like this here, I did not see any but
books&web. I will give you my results and conclusions.
In order not to make a long heavy letter I will break it into separate
letters according to the subjects.
