Well it’s not “OTTER’s” Bowl Exactly…….I had to put my other Lab down recently “TAOS”. She was a buddy and faithful companion to myself and Otter. She also was a search and rescue dog from Summit County ,COLORADO whom I trained up there since she was 6 weeks old. Taos was 18 years old and that’s a long time for a Lab.
Anyway, what to do with Taos’s dog dish set-up? I didn’t really want to get rid of it but I didn’t need 2 sets anymore sooooooo. I found the bottom holds 5 gallons of glaze with 2-3 inches to spare at the top. I mix about 7,000 grams of glaze for approximately 5 gallons of glaze. I was struggling with my 14 inch plates and larger platters with glazing and dipping. These plastic tubs work great for that!
I get my USED Buckets from the grocery store ( in the bakery). They just throw them out so the ladies and gentleman now save them for me instead of the land fill.
Remember that doggie dish? Well I use that too on my scale for measuring chemicals. Fit’s perfectly. I use a 5 gal 80 mesh sieve over my buckets with a spoon instead of a brush. I am working out of my garage (so no water source) so I have to use as little tools as possible to minimize the clean up. The spoon works great to mix as well and help sieve the glazes.
Taos in her younger days…teaching OTTER ( my yellow lab) the ropes! And of course I didn’t really know what to do with Taos yet soooooo I made an URN for her until I decide where her finally resting place will be….
