[Clayart] automation

[W Seidl]

Sticking my nose in here for a moment.  I have to take exception to 
"rule" 3.  My pugmill discharges clay directly into my extruder.  
Sometimes I'm guiding it by hand, sometimes not. It depends on what I'm 
attempting at the time.

I find it hard to believe that because of that, I cannot classify what I 
do as hand-made or hand crafted.  Were I a purist, I suppose that just 
using a pugmill or an extruder would therefore disqualify the work rule 
3 allows...but I think there might just be a little wiggle room. My opinion.

and foxes trying to eat my chickens.
