Spirit Half Sphere by Eric Pilhofer
CONCEPT
CONSTRUCTION DETAIL 1
Trying a new construction method for the pinched double wall pieces I create. Using internal bracing rails which should help top surface sagging. Rather than bisque fire upside down I may try and fire stand right side up.
CONSTRUCTION DETAIL 2
Pinch construction of side walls. On this piece I am using internal braces as guides and working out from them.
