Kiosk 2.0

Now back to the Self Serve Pottery Kiosks!  First things first, remember these?

    

 These were the original Self Serve Pottery Kiosks... Ikea used to carry this sleek, red, steel and glass shelving unit (I think the model was "Bibby").  I added a fancy maple cash box below and viola- Self Serve Pottery Kiosks were born.  Then one day (without consulting me) they stopped making the shelves!  So where was a poor boy to go?  I looked and looked, and called and complained, bothered my wife and annoyed my dog- but to no avail.  Self Serve Pottery Kiosks would have to find a new look.  And wouldn't you know it- Ikea came through again!












Introducing- the new Self Serve Pottery Kiosk:

Aside from the change in the cabinet, which is larger and has a handy glass top, I decided that I had enough of making the wood cash boxes. Wood working is fine and all, but it is time consuming when I'd rather make pots.  Besides,  a wood box in the new kiosks just didn't seem to fit.  Instead, I am finding old, classic lunch boxes and converting them to cash boxes.  The kids call it "upcycling", I call it awesome.  The lunch boxes are secured by a stainless steel cable and padlock.

But where do old lunch boxes come from?  Well, I'll tell you.  You see, some people get excited when they hear there is a need for lunch boxes... real excited.  And when they hear that they get to harass dealers on Ebay, then off they go, and lunch boxes magically start appearing on your door step.

And so I introduce to you, the new Patron Saint of the Self Serve Pottery Kiosk!  We'll call him Mark, and pictures of this mysterious man usually look like this. 

Nice brown trout.

A grayling! Well you don't see that in the south- click and check out the beautiful red dorsal fin.

I took this one of my brown trout- I think it's bigger...

So the lunch box/money box is an exciting new world for me!  Here are some pictures of future kiosk money boxes, crowding out  bisque work in need of glazing.

Thanks Mark!  So the new style of kiosk is all worked out.  Stay tuned-- I have two new locations to tell you about very soon.  Let's wrap things up today with a few pots.
