Crocksaw Puzzle

Here's some more stuff I did today. Next will be to put more fill in the dark brown jug and then sand it.

The white stuff on the big jug is caulk...I used to fill the unseen voids so less bondo will be used.

here's a little finessing on that handle....

Looks like the brown one is coming along. Please post pics of the finished jug. I have a friend who has a kiln and makes pieces to fit her broken crocks. She gets nice results but it's time consuming. I guess any way you look at it these are time takers to repair. Good luck!

WOW! Replacing pieces by kiln...sounds like a better way to go if you have the connection.

Yea I was thinking to myself this is awful time consuming but I guess it will be worth it in the end to my wife. You can't rush it, no way..it'll get sloppy. So I take a deep breath and work at a pace and when I feel interested. The big jug will be the worst since a lot of it is missing on a curve. I will have to try to recreate a natural curve. I think if I can pull off a decent looking jug from that I'll be proud. Really this all is about seeing if I can do it.
