Occasionally when I work late at the shop, I'll crash out on the couch in the loft/lounge, and I'll wake to a loud *TINK* in the middle of the night. Even though it's usually something in the trash bin or on the bench, it still gets me jolted for a minute wondering what just happened.

Or, sometimes I wake in the morning to the kiln still clicking (as it's holding a temp), and quickly realize I never ramped it down...DOH!!!

in a shop w/ 4 other people the tinking never stops.

Still, it gives me an idea.....

I think the scariest ones are the ones you can't identify. You think it came from the direction of what you're working on, like from the kiln.. but when you inspect the piece there's no sign of a crack. Maybe it was nothing... maybe it was your blowtube weld and the piece is just waiting to fall off and hit the floor... maybe it was a big crack thats hidden in a solid color section (that black tube can be evil about this), or along a color line or seam where it doesn't show. Hold it up to the light etc. all you want and you still just don't know for sure until it falls apart in your hands. :twitch: Or it doesn't, and you spend a bunch of time finishing it then find it later. :depressed

If it didn't break at least once (while making it), it's not a real pipe!

at a sizelove class he was making a solid black figure and we heard a tink, he looked at if for a sec and didnt see a crack and said, "well" then gave it a good wack with a punty and it split right in two hehe. then he put it back together.


tink is still worse than nails on a chalk board though.
