Happy Birthday to Me!

( Before)

Yay! My parents got me a shiny new Griffin Grip for my birthday (not really til Nov. 2) and I got to try it out tonight. It is really quite sweet and really makes trimming easy. There is only one problem that I have found. It makes a total mess! Because it sits higher than my wheelhead, it slings trimmings all over the place. I'm going to make a box to go around the wheel and collect all of the flying clay.

    How nice of the parents!
    We just trim with the splash pan off and clean up later- but I know there are better ways.
    You will use this for many years. This was one of the items we relaced first after the fire.
    In fact we have two- because we both need one sometimes and keep our tools seperate.
    Don't touch my tools!

    I want one! Lucky you... My mom has been asking me what I want for Christmas, maybe I should wish for this.

    Happy early birthday.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes! I think I'm really going to love my Griffin Grip. Now if I could just get back and makes some new work :)

    Hey, happy B-Day Ben!

    When you get your Giffin Grip set up with the box around it, I'd love to see a picture. I'm soooo tired of cleaning up trimming from the floor. Maybe your "box" will be the solution. Thanks!
