a rephrase of the quirey to see if it makes a difference
Hi Tony,
You seem to have misunderstood my missive, and my meaning...
Lets try again?
How many 'good' Mugs, (meaning Mugs that you owuld think of as 'good', ) do
you feel, can be the goal, for a Journeyman Potter to make, in one week, so
that they are all finished and ready to Market, when the week is dedicated
only to making Mugs?
It can even be a 'hard' week say, just to get them 'done'...so that part of
one's inventory is satisfied for some time.
That was the salient component of my question.
That was the actual subject.
Thanks,
Phil
