It may be that you can specify a very large number for the "summary length" and get the full post. "read, next, skim, next," not have to visit each site to read the articles. reading a hundred blogs, I want to read it like email. Your software (Sandvox Pro) seems to be rather "summary" oriented, with the assumption that readers will click through to visit your site. That gets you an RSS feed of threads with new content. Here in the CAD forum, if you look in the upper-right under the Search box, there's a link called "View New Content" and next to it is a little orange icon. I subscribe to over a hundred blogs, and I can see what's new on all of them by simply opening my feed reader.

I can add it though if I can understand how to use it.Īn RSS feed is a machine-readable page of article information (headlines, headlines and summaries, or headlines and full article) that a user can subscribe to with a "feed reader" (, for instance). Probably has a lot to do with my not really understanding what is is and how best to use it. But what's interesting is that a rudimentary stretching from 6 inches to 9 inches, done with the heel of the hand, provides the same amount of shrinkage regulation as a drastic and precise stretching from 6 inches to about 20 inches done with a slab roller. So stretching the clay in both dimensions does affect shrinkage at cone 6. It took me a while to put it together with my clay cutting shortcut, but ever since I did I have been making reliably square plates again. The plates appeared square throughout the whole process until I put them into a cone 6 glaze firing, when some of them would emerge as rectangles, because they shrank more in one dimension than the other. Then I could skip the step of stretching it out to 9 inches, and put it straight through my slab roller instead. One day, thinking I was being very clever, I realized I could remove the clay entirely from its plastic bag, lay it on its side, and cut off an amount of clay that was already 9 inches across. Then I put it through my slab roller in the direction perpendicular to that 9 inch dimension. Then I would stretch out the clay with the heel of my hand to about 9 inches wide, which is the width of the slab I need. At first, I would open a new bag of clay and cut the amount I needed from the end of the block. I make a lot of square plates from slabs that are formed on slump molds. It has nothing to do with keeping a tile flat, but I do think it affects the shrinking behavior of clay during a cone 6 glaze firing. I have something to add about stretching a slab across the grain. It's also refreshing to learn facts about clay (there's so much dogma floating around, I wish the culture of pottery would adopt an anti-dogmatic attitude). Thanks for analysis Chris! It's cool to see how the clay is really moving. Ideas or suggestions for another experiment are welcomed! My husband, the engineer, speculates slab rollers have more to do with compression than stretching so this is why it shrinks evenly. Is the conventional wisdom of rolling again across the grain really a necessary step if this tile stayed perfectly flat without any help? why did something that appeared to compress and stretch so unevenly shrink so evenly? Perfectly even shrinkage with absolutely NO warping. I cut it into a 6" by 6" tile and let it rest in the open air.Īfter 30 minutes, it had shrunk 1/16th inch on all sides.Īfter 3 hours it had shrunk 1/8th inch on all sides. So, I wondered what this meant to the shrinkage of a piece of work. Obviously, the piece was compressed more on its length than its width. Now the design is 8" on the original top and 6.25 on the original bottom. I decided to flip the piece and roll it again without changing anything else. The pattern on the top of the clay had stretched 7" while the pattern on the bottom of the clay I ran it through my Bailey slab roller.Īfter compressing and stretching the clay, I found each surface was different. In order to see how the clay was moving through the rollers I decided to place some colored clay on both sides of a plain slice of clay. I kept wondering about this after I got home and decided to try a couple of simple experiments. We were wondering just what was happening to both sides of the clay and what effect being compressed and stretched mainly My students and I began discussing the effects we believed a slab roller had on the clay it was compressing and extending.
