Can You Fire Clay in a BBQ?

guys welcome back i’m nate with the king

guys welcome back i’m nate with the king of random today we’re going to see if we

of random today we’re going to see if we

of random today we’re going to see if we can take some of the clay we made in a

can take some of the clay we made in a

can take some of the clay we made in a previous video and fire it to make it

previous video and fire it to make it

previous video and fire it to make it permanent making clay from river dirt is

permanent making clay from river dirt is awesome but if you can’t get it to stick

awesome but if you can’t get it to stick

awesome but if you can’t get it to stick around it’s not as useful we want an

around it’s not as useful we want an

around it’s not as useful we want an easy way to fire the clay into something

easy way to fire the clay into something

easy way to fire the clay into something that won’t dissolve in water the purpose

that won’t dissolve in water the purpose

that won’t dissolve in water the purpose of today’s video is to see if we can

of today’s video is to see if we can

of today’s video is to see if we can fire this clay that we’ve made in a

fire this clay that we’ve made in a

fire this clay that we’ve made in a regular barbecue

regular barbecue

regular barbecue the materials we’re going to need are a

the materials we’re going to need are a

the materials we’re going to need are a regular charcoal grill a bunch of

regular charcoal grill a bunch of

regular charcoal grill a bunch of charcoal and some clay after we form our

charcoal and some clay after we form our

charcoal and some clay after we form our clay and let it dry we’re going to get

clay and let it dry we’re going to get

clay and let it dry we’re going to get the charcoal started as the charcoal

the charcoal started as the charcoal

the charcoal started as the charcoal heats up we’ll move the clay closer and

heats up we’ll move the clay closer and

heats up we’ll move the clay closer and closer to the flames until it’s directly

closer to the flames until it’s directly

closer to the flames until it’s directly over the fire after that we’ll actually

over the fire after that we’ll actually

over the fire after that we’ll actually take our clay and put it in the coals

take our clay and put it in the coals

take our clay and put it in the coals and cover it so that it’s completely

and cover it so that it’s completely

and cover it so that it’s completely covered by the hot charcoal we’ll try

covered by the hot charcoal we’ll try

covered by the hot charcoal we’ll try using a shop vac as a bellows to get the

using a shop vac as a bellows to get the

using a shop vac as a bellows to get the charcoal even hotter to help fire the

charcoal even hotter to help fire the

charcoal even hotter to help fire the clay then once it’s all cooled down

clay then once it’s all cooled down

clay then once it’s all cooled down we’ll take it out and see if it’s been

we’ll take it out and see if it’s been

we’ll take it out and see if it’s been fired the first thing we need is to

fired the first thing we need is to

fired the first thing we need is to prepare our clay let’s try and make a

prepare our clay let’s try and make a

prepare our clay let’s try and make a small coil pot this is quite a bit more

small coil pot this is quite a bit more

small coil pot this is quite a bit more clay than I need so I’m going to tear it

clay than I need so I’m going to tear it

clay than I need so I’m going to tear it in half my clay is just a little bit too

in half my clay is just a little bit too

in half my clay is just a little bit too dry so I’m gonna drip in a few drops of

dry so I’m gonna drip in a few drops of

dry so I’m gonna drip in a few drops of water and knead it in so I have a better

water and knead it in so I have a better

water and knead it in so I have a better consistency the clay should be wet

consistency the clay should be wet

consistency the clay should be wet enough that when you squeeze it it

enough that when you squeeze it it

enough that when you squeeze it it doesn’t immediately start cracking

doesn’t immediately start cracking

doesn’t immediately start cracking everywhere one of the most common issues

everywhere one of the most common issues

everywhere one of the most common issues with ceramics is having air bubbles in

with ceramics is having air bubbles in

with ceramics is having air bubbles in your clay as the air heats up it tries

your clay as the air heats up it tries

your clay as the air heats up it tries to expand and it has nowhere to go so it

to expand and it has nowhere to go so it

to expand and it has nowhere to go so it will actually just break the clay apart

will actually just break the clay apart

will actually just break the clay apart to escape so let’s make sure our clay

to escape so let’s make sure our clay

to escape so let’s make sure our clay has no air bubbles in it to do that we

has no air bubbles in it to do that we

has no air bubbles in it to do that we do what’s called wedging the clay

do what’s called wedging the clay

do what’s called wedging the clay [Music]

[Music]

[Music] now we’ve removed the air bubbles from

now we’ve removed the air bubbles from

now we’ve removed the air bubbles from our clay let’s roll it out into a long

our clay let’s roll it out into a long

our clay let’s roll it out into a long coil

coil

coil everybody likes making clay snakes if

everybody likes making clay snakes if

everybody likes making clay snakes if you’re having a hard time getting nice

you’re having a hard time getting nice

you’re having a hard time getting nice long rolls out of your clay it might be

long rolls out of your clay it might be

long rolls out of your clay it might be a little bit too dry you should add more

a little bit too dry you should add more

a little bit too dry you should add more water mix it up evenly and then wedge

water mix it up evenly and then wedge

water mix it up evenly and then wedge the air out again but you don’t always

the air out again but you don’t always

the air out again but you don’t always have to have pieces of clay this long

have to have pieces of clay this long

have to have pieces of clay this long I’m gonna end up breaking it up into

I’m gonna end up breaking it up into

I’m gonna end up breaking it up into smaller pieces to make my coil pot

smaller pieces to make my coil pot

smaller pieces to make my coil pot anyway you’ll want to make sure that

anyway you’ll want to make sure that

anyway you’ll want to make sure that your base is fairly thin it should be

your base is fairly thin it should be

your base is fairly thin it should be about the same thickness that you make

about the same thickness that you make

about the same thickness that you make your walls if they’re different

your walls if they’re different

your walls if they’re different thicknesses they’ll dry at different

thicknesses they’ll dry at different

thicknesses they’ll dry at different speeds and that can lead to cracking now

speeds and that can lead to cracking now

speeds and that can lead to cracking now that we have our base form let’s start

that we have our base form let’s start

that we have our base form let’s start building up the walls I’m first gonna

building up the walls I’m first gonna

building up the walls I’m first gonna use a little bit of water around the

use a little bit of water around the

use a little bit of water around the edge to help the clay stick to itself

now we’ve got the walls built up let’s

now we’ve got the walls built up let’s use just a little bit of water to smooth

use just a little bit of water to smooth

use just a little bit of water to smooth everything down and join the edges

everything down and join the edges

everything down and join the edges together nicely now that we’ve got our

together nicely now that we’ve got our

together nicely now that we’ve got our clay pot formed we need to let it dry

clay pot formed we need to let it dry

clay pot formed we need to let it dry it’s best to let it dry slowly to

it’s best to let it dry slowly to

it’s best to let it dry slowly to prevent cracking you should keep your

prevent cracking you should keep your

prevent cracking you should keep your clay in a dry room temperature

clay in a dry room temperature

clay in a dry room temperature environment for two or three days maybe

environment for two or three days maybe

environment for two or three days maybe as much as a week if you’ve got thicker

as much as a week if you’ve got thicker

as much as a week if you’ve got thicker bits of clay

bits of clay

bits of clay now I actually went ahead and made three

now I actually went ahead and made three

now I actually went ahead and made three different clay pieces firing in the

different clay pieces firing in the

different clay pieces firing in the barbecue is a little bit of an

barbecue is a little bit of an

barbecue is a little bit of an experiment and I wanted to try a few

experiment and I wanted to try a few

experiment and I wanted to try a few variations this pot is exactly like the

variations this pot is exactly like the

variations this pot is exactly like the one we just made it’s just clay with

one we just made it’s just clay with

one we just made it’s just clay with nothing else added to it this pot has a

nothing else added to it this pot has a

nothing else added to it this pot has a little bit of charcoal ash added to it

little bit of charcoal ash added to it

little bit of charcoal ash added to it and this piece has what’s called grog in

and this piece has what’s called grog in

and this piece has what’s called grog in it grog is previously fired clay that

it grog is previously fired clay that

it grog is previously fired clay that you’ve crushed up into powder and you

you’ve crushed up into powder and you

you’ve crushed up into powder and you mix it in with the clay both the

mix it in with the clay both the

mix it in with the clay both the charcoal ash and the grog are things

charcoal ash and the grog are things

charcoal ash and the grog are things that I’ve read can help prevent cracking

that I’ve read can help prevent cracking

that I’ve read can help prevent cracking during the firing process so we’ll see

during the firing process so we’ll see

during the firing process so we’ll see which of these three plots turns out the

which of these three plots turns out the

which of these three plots turns out the best you can see that unfortunately all

best you can see that unfortunately all

best you can see that unfortunately all three of these pots do have a slight

three of these pots do have a slight

three of these pots do have a slight crack running in the bottom that’s

crack running in the bottom that’s

crack running in the bottom that’s because I didn’t do a great job of

because I didn’t do a great job of

because I didn’t do a great job of following my own advice to make sure

following my own advice to make sure

following my own advice to make sure that the bottom is the same thickness as

that the bottom is the same thickness as

that the bottom is the same thickness as the walls however this is a test on

the walls however this is a test on

the walls however this is a test on firing clay in the barbecue and it

firing clay in the barbecue and it

firing clay in the barbecue and it shouldn’t affect the outcome

shouldn’t affect the outcome

shouldn’t affect the outcome [Music]

[Applause]

[Applause] [Music]

[Music]

[Music] okay you can see I’ve got the charcoal

okay you can see I’ve got the charcoal

okay you can see I’ve got the charcoal lit and then I piled all of them in one

lit and then I piled all of them in one

lit and then I piled all of them in one corner of the barbecue that’s because I

corner of the barbecue that’s because I

corner of the barbecue that’s because I need some space on the side of the

need some space on the side of the

need some space on the side of the barbecue to set the clay for it to heat

barbecue to set the clay for it to heat

barbecue to set the clay for it to heat up slowly I don’t want to throw it right

up slowly I don’t want to throw it right

up slowly I don’t want to throw it right on top of the fire because I will heat

on top of the fire because I will heat

on top of the fire because I will heat it so fast that it’s guaranteed to crack

it so fast that it’s guaranteed to crack

it so fast that it’s guaranteed to crack now we’ve got our three clay pots in the

now we’ve got our three clay pots in the

now we’ve got our three clay pots in the grill and heating up I’m also going to

grill and heating up I’m also going to

grill and heating up I’m also going to be adding this fourth piece which is

be adding this fourth piece which is

be adding this fourth piece which is something we’re gonna try casting metal

something we’re gonna try casting metal

something we’re gonna try casting metal in if firing it works our clay is

in if firing it works our clay is

in if firing it works our clay is getting nice and warm we do want to

getting nice and warm we do want to

getting nice and warm we do want to rotate it regularly so that it heats up

rotate it regularly so that it heats up

rotate it regularly so that it heats up evenly if your clay is too hot to touch

evenly if your clay is too hot to touch

evenly if your clay is too hot to touch use some tongs our charcoal is nice and

use some tongs our charcoal is nice and

use some tongs our charcoal is nice and hot we’re gonna level it out add some

hot we’re gonna level it out add some

hot we’re gonna level it out add some more on top and try using our vacuum as

more on top and try using our vacuum as

more on top and try using our vacuum as a bellows to keep the new charcoal up

a bellows to keep the new charcoal up

a bellows to keep the new charcoal up quickly on our vacuum our hoses usually

quickly on our vacuum our hoses usually

quickly on our vacuum our hoses usually attach to this end which sucks in but

attach to this end which sucks in but

attach to this end which sucks in but we’ve switched it to attach to the out

we’ve switched it to attach to the out

we’ve switched it to attach to the out end this way the vacuum blows a constant

end this way the vacuum blows a constant

end this way the vacuum blows a constant source of air

I take this away it’s actually gonna

I take this away it’s actually gonna burst into flames even more let’s also

burst into flames even more let’s also

burst into flames even more let’s also close our grill a little bit to trap

close our grill a little bit to trap

close our grill a little bit to trap some of the heat so our clay starts

some of the heat so our clay starts

some of the heat so our clay starts warming up even more all right it’s time

warming up even more all right it’s time

warming up even more all right it’s time to do another round of adding more

to do another round of adding more

to do another round of adding more charcoal and using the vacuum as a

charcoal and using the vacuum as a

charcoal and using the vacuum as a bellows to heat it back up again by now

bellows to heat it back up again by now

bellows to heat it back up again by now our clay has gotten pretty hot and I’m

our clay has gotten pretty hot and I’m

our clay has gotten pretty hot and I’m going to start putting it on top of the

going to start putting it on top of the

going to start putting it on top of the grate

grate

moving it closer and closer to over the

moving it closer and closer to over the coals

coals

coals [Music]

you can see them taking a lot of steps

you can see them taking a lot of steps to heat the clay up very slowly in

to heat the clay up very slowly in

to heat the clay up very slowly in automated gas and electric kilns this is

automated gas and electric kilns this is

automated gas and electric kilns this is a process that can take many hours I’ve

a process that can take many hours I’ve

a process that can take many hours I’ve closed the lid of the grill a little bit

closed the lid of the grill a little bit

closed the lid of the grill a little bit more so it’s acting like something of an

more so it’s acting like something of an

more so it’s acting like something of an oven it’s gonna start cooking that clay

oven it’s gonna start cooking that clay

oven it’s gonna start cooking that clay and getting it right up to the

and getting it right up to the

and getting it right up to the temperature so we can soon put it right

temperature so we can soon put it right

temperature so we can soon put it right in the charcoal all right things are

in the charcoal all right things are

in the charcoal all right things are going good now we’re gonna do is put one

going good now we’re gonna do is put one

going good now we’re gonna do is put one last layer of charcoal on then we’re

last layer of charcoal on then we’re

last layer of charcoal on then we’re gonna actually put the ceramic pieces

gonna actually put the ceramic pieces

gonna actually put the ceramic pieces upside down right over the flames and

upside down right over the flames and

upside down right over the flames and they’re gonna start getting really nice

they’re gonna start getting really nice

they’re gonna start getting really nice and hot flattening down the coals just a

and hot flattening down the coals just a

and hot flattening down the coals just a little bit now I’m going to be flipping

little bit now I’m going to be flipping

little bit now I’m going to be flipping these over so that they will heat a

these over so that they will heat a

these over so that they will heat a little bit more evenly it’s not just the

little bit more evenly it’s not just the

little bit more evenly it’s not just the bottoms exposed to the heat a little bit

bottoms exposed to the heat a little bit

bottoms exposed to the heat a little bit more with the vacuum then I’m gonna

more with the vacuum then I’m gonna

more with the vacuum then I’m gonna close the lid back up alright a new

close the lid back up alright a new

close the lid back up alright a new layer of charcoal is nice and hot and

layer of charcoal is nice and hot and

layer of charcoal is nice and hot and we’ve put the clay upside down right

we’ve put the clay upside down right

we’ve put the clay upside down right above the feet so now it’s gonna start

above the feet so now it’s gonna start

above the feet so now it’s gonna start really getting hot in preparation for

really getting hot in preparation for

really getting hot in preparation for going into the coals we’re gonna give it

going into the coals we’re gonna give it

going into the coals we’re gonna give it about 15 minutes before we start moving

about 15 minutes before we start moving

about 15 minutes before we start moving them down into the fire

them down into the fire

them down into the fire [Music]

at this point our clay has been sitting

at this point our clay has been sitting directly over the heat for a few minutes

directly over the heat for a few minutes

directly over the heat for a few minutes and should be pretty good and hot we’re

and should be pretty good and hot we’re

and should be pretty good and hot we’re gonna take the grill off of the top put

gonna take the grill off of the top put

gonna take the grill off of the top put the clay directly down into the charcoal

the clay directly down into the charcoal

the clay directly down into the charcoal and tile up some of the charcoal around

and tile up some of the charcoal around

and tile up some of the charcoal around it well add a little bit more charcoal

it well add a little bit more charcoal

it well add a little bit more charcoal on top hit it with the bellows to heat

on top hit it with the bellows to heat

on top hit it with the bellows to heat it back up and then we’re just gonna let

it back up and then we’re just gonna let

it back up and then we’re just gonna let it sit that is burning my hands just

it sit that is burning my hands just

it sit that is burning my hands just reaching over to put the clay in super

reaching over to put the clay in super

reaching over to put the clay in super warm

warm

warm I can hear clicking noises from the clay

I can hear clicking noises from the clay

I can hear clicking noises from the clay so I’m hoping it’s not just about to

so I’m hoping it’s not just about to

so I’m hoping it’s not just about to shatter into a lot of pieces but it’s

shatter into a lot of pieces but it’s

shatter into a lot of pieces but it’s possible we’ll see

now I’m gonna pile a bunch more charcoal

now I’m gonna pile a bunch more charcoal on top and once that started to heat up

on top and once that started to heat up

on top and once that started to heat up I’m gonna hit it with the bellows to

I’m gonna hit it with the bellows to

I’m gonna hit it with the bellows to really get it nice and hot

I’ve got a whole bunch more charcoal

I’ve got a whole bunch more charcoal piled on top and the advantage to this

piled on top and the advantage to this

piled on top and the advantage to this is that our clay will now be exposed to

is that our clay will now be exposed to

is that our clay will now be exposed to the high heat for a much longer time as

the high heat for a much longer time as

the high heat for a much longer time as the first charcoal that I put on there

the first charcoal that I put on there

the first charcoal that I put on there is burning out and disappearing the

is burning out and disappearing the

is burning out and disappearing the newer charcoal is gonna be getting hot

newer charcoal is gonna be getting hot

newer charcoal is gonna be getting hot and keeping all of the fire going for a

and keeping all of the fire going for a

and keeping all of the fire going for a longer time you can see that over the

longer time you can see that over the

longer time you can see that over the process of this I have used almost this

process of this I have used almost this

process of this I have used almost this entire bag of charcoal there’s still a

entire bag of charcoal there’s still a

entire bag of charcoal there’s still a little bit down in there but for the

little bit down in there but for the

little bit down in there but for the most part it’s been the whole bag you

most part it’s been the whole bag you

most part it’s been the whole bag you don’t want to get too close but you can

don’t want to get too close but you can

don’t want to get too close but you can actually see that the clay is now

actually see that the clay is now

actually see that the clay is now glowing orange in there that is a really

glowing orange in there that is a really

glowing orange in there that is a really good sign all right we have used the

good sign all right we have used the

good sign all right we have used the vacuum bellows gotten the charcoal and

vacuum bellows gotten the charcoal and

vacuum bellows gotten the charcoal and the clay nice and hot I’m really

the clay nice and hot I’m really

the clay nice and hot I’m really optimistic about how it’s going so now

optimistic about how it’s going so now

optimistic about how it’s going so now I’m gonna take out the block of wood

I’m gonna take out the block of wood

I’m gonna take out the block of wood leave the barbecue close and let it just

leave the barbecue close and let it just

leave the barbecue close and let it just burn out and cool down entirely until

burn out and cool down entirely until

burn out and cool down entirely until tomorrow morning then we’ll take the

tomorrow morning then we’ll take the

tomorrow morning then we’ll take the clay out and see how it’s doing

clay out and see how it’s doing

clay out and see how it’s doing [Music]

okay guys update the clay has now been

okay guys update the clay has now been in the barbecue overnight and should

in the barbecue overnight and should

in the barbecue overnight and should have cooled down to the point where it’s

have cooled down to the point where it’s

have cooled down to the point where it’s safe to take out with just my bare hands

safe to take out with just my bare hands

safe to take out with just my bare hands let’s open it up and see if the clay is

let’s open it up and see if the clay is

let’s open it up and see if the clay is fired just seeing if there’s any heat

fired just seeing if there’s any heat

fired just seeing if there’s any heat that I have to be worried about I’m not

that I have to be worried about I’m not

that I have to be worried about I’m not feeling anything so I’m probably good Oh

[Music]

[Music] got some problems with this one that

got some problems with this one that

got some problems with this one that one’s starting to fall apart okay guys

one’s starting to fall apart okay guys

one’s starting to fall apart okay guys our pieces are out of the barbecue and

our pieces are out of the barbecue and

our pieces are out of the barbecue and there’s good news and bad news the good

there’s good news and bad news the good

there’s good news and bad news the good news is that the clay did fire these are

news is that the clay did fire these are

news is that the clay did fire these are now permanent and they won’t dissolve in

now permanent and they won’t dissolve in

now permanent and they won’t dissolve in water the bad news is that all of them

water the bad news is that all of them

water the bad news is that all of them started cracking a little bit no matter

started cracking a little bit no matter

started cracking a little bit no matter what variation of clay ash or grog I use

what variation of clay ash or grog I use

what variation of clay ash or grog I use let’s get a close-up look at how each of

let’s get a close-up look at how each of

let’s get a close-up look at how each of these turned out this was the regular

these turned out this was the regular

these turned out this was the regular pot that had no added ash or grog to it

pot that had no added ash or grog to it

pot that had no added ash or grog to it and as you can see it has separated

and as you can see it has separated

and as you can see it has separated pretty extremely you can kind of see the

pretty extremely you can kind of see the

pretty extremely you can kind of see the letter A this is the pot that had

letter A this is the pot that had

letter A this is the pot that had charcoal ash mixed in with the clay I

charcoal ash mixed in with the clay I

charcoal ash mixed in with the clay I think this one has actually held

think this one has actually held

think this one has actually held together the best with only one main

together the best with only one main

together the best with only one main crack but there are a lot of little

crack but there are a lot of little

crack but there are a lot of little cracks as well so it’s probably not very

cracks as well so it’s probably not very

cracks as well so it’s probably not very far from falling apart further

here is the pot that was made using grog

here is the pot that was made using grog this one separated into several little

this one separated into several little

this one separated into several little pieces this right here is probably the

pieces this right here is probably the

pieces this right here is probably the largest unbroken piece of clay we have

largest unbroken piece of clay we have

largest unbroken piece of clay we have so I don’t know maybe that does mean

so I don’t know maybe that does mean

so I don’t know maybe that does mean that grog is the best interestingly this

that grog is the best interestingly this

that grog is the best interestingly this piece that I made is actually the only

piece that I made is actually the only

piece that I made is actually the only one hasn’t fallen apart and it’s also

one hasn’t fallen apart and it’s also

one hasn’t fallen apart and it’s also the only one that I didn’t make using a

the only one that I didn’t make using a

the only one that I didn’t make using a coil pot technique which I think means

coil pot technique which I think means

coil pot technique which I think means that it’s my coil pot technique that

that it’s my coil pot technique that

that it’s my coil pot technique that needs work it’s been a long time since

needs work it’s been a long time since

needs work it’s been a long time since I’ve taken a ceramics class there are a

I’ve taken a ceramics class there are a

I’ve taken a ceramics class there are a few different ways to test if your clay

few different ways to test if your clay

few different ways to test if your clay has fired the easiest is to just try

has fired the easiest is to just try

has fired the easiest is to just try scratching it with your thumb nail or a

scratching it with your thumb nail or a

scratching it with your thumb nail or a soft tool if I dragged a screwdriver

soft tool if I dragged a screwdriver

soft tool if I dragged a screwdriver across the surface of the clay when it

across the surface of the clay when it

across the surface of the clay when it was unfired it would leave a big mark

was unfired it would leave a big mark

was unfired it would leave a big mark across it but now that it’s fired it

across it but now that it’s fired it

across it but now that it’s fired it doesn’t even leave a mark I think the

doesn’t even leave a mark I think the

doesn’t even leave a mark I think the most important test about whether your

most important test about whether your

most important test about whether your clay is fired is how it reacts to water

clay is fired is how it reacts to water

clay is fired is how it reacts to water with unfired clay water will cause the

with unfired clay water will cause the

with unfired clay water will cause the clay to quickly dissolve with fired clay

clay to quickly dissolve with fired clay

clay to quickly dissolve with fired clay some water will get absorbed but it’s

some water will get absorbed but it’s

some water will get absorbed but it’s not gonna do anything to the clay itself

not gonna do anything to the clay itself

not gonna do anything to the clay itself okay guys quick recap of what we’ve done

okay guys quick recap of what we’ve done

okay guys quick recap of what we’ve done for this experiment we took clay that we

for this experiment we took clay that we

for this experiment we took clay that we made from the river and we fired it in a

made from the river and we fired it in a

made from the river and we fired it in a grill but we mixed up three different

grill but we mixed up three different

grill but we mixed up three different mixtures of it one that was plain clay

mixtures of it one that was plain clay

mixtures of it one that was plain clay one that had charcoal ash in it and when

one that had charcoal ash in it and when

one that had charcoal ash in it and when they had grog in it to see what would

they had grog in it to see what would

they had grog in it to see what would happen and if there’s any difference in

happen and if there’s any difference in

happen and if there’s any difference in how they fired

how they fired

how they fired unfortunately my ceramic sculpting

unfortunately my ceramic sculpting

unfortunately my ceramic sculpting techniques are apparently a little bit

techniques are apparently a little bit

techniques are apparently a little bit flawed because all of the coil pots I

flawed because all of the coil pots I

flawed because all of the coil pots I made had started to crack before they

made had started to crack before they
