I wonder how long each of these will take me to complete. I know that is like asking "How long is a piece of string?"
This one took 2 hours, from marking to sanding and first finish coat. 7" x 3.5" hollow form. Probably 2/3 of the time was spent on the inside, and with a lack of proper hollowing tools, the walls of the main part of the pitcher are pretty thick. This is the 5th one I have tried, so I am not spending time inventing, just working on improving form and working smoothly and efficiently. This is totally a hobby.
In my church the pitcher and basin are symbols of the work of a Deacon. I have made dozens of communion sets for other pastors and would love to be able to give away a lot of these too.
So if it takes 2 hours now, should I keep that as the measure of my expectations, or could it be significantly less time with decent hollowing tools?
I know. Odd question. Just comment if you have any thoughts. Thanks
