[SML] Ideas for break-away mug

[Steven Hood]

I don't recall if greenware breaks as loudly as fired ceramic... glazes are 
another issue... as smooth as they usually are, you may have to build up a 
surface texture to hide seams if you tie-break. Pat Kight probably has done 
this many times...
Things to ponder...
