Thanks, Steven. That’s the way I felt about the film. There are a few more snippets from the film and some from the filming that you might like to check out as well.

The video you posted for Alabama Craft was quite moving. I lecture Advertising at a university in New Zealand. This was inspirational and I’ll be showing it to the students. The world lacks craftsmen. Thanks.

Comment on Welcome Back, Tried & True: Bisque Tile Bats by Anne Webb

Yes, its a pretty simple concept. If I had larger bisque tiles I think I might consider making one for them to accommodate wider based pots.

You could make wooden inserts quite easily.. just cut them to fit. If you can make tiles, I doubt it would be hard to make your own tile inserts, it would just tedious and labor intensive.

I don’t know, I like the commercial tiles because they are not expensive, they’re uniform, and for me, its more worth my while to buy them than to try making them. When I take into consideration materials, firing, loss, and my labor, I doubt making them would represent much of a (if any) savings.
But as i mentioned, I like how the tile works when you use them. Being able to take my pots off the bat sooner makes a big difference.

I seem to remember reading an article about how to make something like this with a plastic 7 1/2 inch bat and quarter-round moulding. I was thinking about making one, but this sounds pretty good too, especially for $12. I wonder how difficult it would be to make your own tile inserts?

You can just use regular old masking tape when you want it to stay in place. Just a thought…
