Clay Craft: August 2008

Kei Truck

I borrow Euan's Kei to haul some junk to the recycle center.

Nikko

Nikko is only 30km from Mashiko. We can't believe, that for 9 years, we thought it was much father away. It just seemed farther away when we toted all our luggage from Narita to Nikko back in 1998. We went this time for our 23rd wedding anniversery.

Note how the smoke 'follows' the burnished marks.....

OK. Here is the whole thing. I think mine is made of heavier metal
than the Sencha Grinder below. I t looks to be made in a machine
shop. It has operated in many states and participated in numerous
woodfirings. Its been dropped and repaired but is rugged. It cost
more than the web price quoted. By the way, the handle folds up and
fits inside if there are no unground beans in the top. Using the
built in camera on my imac never occured to me for this purpose.
