    Yes, I would use the little trick of bending the eye pin so it never comes out. Great tip! Thanks

I have to pay curious for my membership, are you going to include any tutorials in this "curious" gig?

    Hi Lee, I don't know yet when or if we will be adding more content to Curious. It probably won't be from our paid tutorials though. We'll have to see. We have a lot going on right now and can't spread ourselves too thin. Thank you for your kindness. I'm glad you like what you have learned so far!

    I do that already, but I was just thinking about putting a little "corkscrew" on the end and then screwing it in. Haven't tried it yet so it may or may not work. : )

    Hi Linda, a corkscrew would be better than going straight in, but I would worry that it may unscrew itself over time. With the bend, it hits clay and doesn't pull out. Thanks for commenting!
