I have the barrel, terra sig, lots of sawdust from my husbands woodturnings, and now the inspiration! Thanks for sharing your process. I'll video my journey into a barrel. Regards, Janice

Fantastic video. I've recently started putting some bisc fired t.sigged terracotta pots to one side to do a barrel firing so this video was perfectly timed for me. The only thing I do differently with my pots is I burnish them quickly with a steel rib when I turn them, rather than sanding and sponging. I can't praise this video enough. Thanks for sharing. This is going into my favourites! Mark.
