potter's tool

Hi all...I honestly can't remember if we've mentioned this as a potter's
tool or not, but since I've misplaced metal rib #452, I needed to trim the
edges of my handbuilt bowl today and voila! The carrot/veggie peeler in my
dish drainer looked like it just might work. Not only DID it, but it did a
great (er, grate?) job...it's very sharp, and the way it's constructed it's
very controllable and uniform. Neatest edge I ever trimmed...

Mind you we're talking handbuilt. This isn't how I trim when I'm
throwing.

Been working hard here, making progress, experimenting more with my usual
goal of capturing the feel of the past, getting a handle on a few things,
keeping nose to grindstone, mostly, and NOT SCARED to say what I think OR
lurking, just too busy.

And bravo, Kelly! Mostly right on the money! Speak up, folks, we have met
the Clayart and he are us, to mangle Pogo entirely...
