Hi Guys.. I Finally (in case I didn't tell you) got my pottery wheel (yes the brand new one's) foot pedal repaired.  It quit only two monyhs after I purchased it.  Should have done a little more research.  Any way///It took the manu. over a month to return it to me under warranty.  I don't need to elaborate any more do I?

New additions.. Been experimenting with trying to get a manganese dioxide saturated micro crystalline glaze to develop.  The source of the man manganese I get from a great place.  Out of old dead D batteries. 
Examples... and sorry if the pics are terrible... need to work on that a bit.
