Truly lovely work Victrinia. Like most things it's time will be fleeting but in cyber space it may be eternal.
On the subject of growing boxes Zhang Jiang of Lotus in Yixing informed me that he sends many containers of a set of 2 oval that we know as Mr kondo's pot ( 60cm and 45 cm)to Japan each month because they are cheaper than the Japanese boxes that they used to use. Eat your heart out potters. lovely work, thanks Cheers Lindsay |

Lindsay,
Thank you for the kind remarks. I must take the chance to thank you for your own work. I enjoy it very much. It has expanded my understanding of bonsai as an art, and culture if you will, immeasurably. With sincere respect, Victrinia |

"...........no matter what your skill level is, there seems to be a comment from someone about how it could have been done better. I just thought that by highlighting the absurd by responding with the absurd........"
Interesting, Al. It would seem that you are telling us how our responses to forum posts could be done better. In the future, I will try to limit my responses to "Atta boy!" Should we all do this? Or will you and a handful of others still be allowed to express an opinion? zube

Old Bonsaiman-new pots

[QUOTE=bonsaial1]Sorry Dale, didn't mean to steal your thunder. I just wrote what I thought were some comical remarks about the way most everything happens around here.
Was it COMICAL to offer some similar boxes to someone for free? Or, to explain how it might be better to simply go with mica for training. Its easier, less work forsure, and possibly cheaper! Even guys like Walter Pall found it necessary to bale on his services because it seems that no matter what your skill level is, there seems to be a comment from someone about how it could have been done better. You mean someone....like you Al! I know all about leaving BT for these reasons. I did it and rarely posted for quite some time (except to the pottery section) and now I'm sorry I returned. I guess its time to bail again. Evidently there is only room for ONE all-knowing guy? I just thought that by highlighting the absurd by responding with the absurd it might be rather comical, by bad. By comment about the lip was an abstract way to "add one more comment". Oh OK, now that makes sense!!??  Whatcomments were absurd, other than yours that is? Dale....out!

Wow after all these years I have a potter that agrees with me on Mica. The thinner walled ones do make for good inexpensive grow pots. They do look pretty good, are inexpensive and might take a hundred or so years to rot. |

I think it's beautiful. The extent of my woodworking skills so far is a broody house for my chickens but I'm right with you in the girls-and-tools party! (In my house we call it 'doing a Rosie the Riveter'). It also miraculously appeared just when I've been thinking about training pots and how to make proto-bonsai look attractive in a very small garden.

I was thinking of making a box like this. I have limited tools now and wont be able to get gaps like that, but Im sure Ill have enough drainage lol. It should last several years at least I would imagine if its made from cedar or the likes.
