Who needs pitchers when decanters work just as well without the additional issue of a handle?  I say this since my frustration with pitchers is at an all time high.  I have the shape down (or shapes depending on my goal) and I can attach a handle, the issue comes in at doing this straight.  So far I have a lot of side handled pitchers.  And while this may be useful in the restaurant biz for servers, it's not so appealing for everyday use.  The trouble is you have to keep the whole thing spinning!  If you stop your whole piece sags, and then so does my spirit with sadness.  I was given some recommendations on alternate ways to attach the handle and I will work on those.  Mostly will try with less rotation redundancy.  Right now I am implementing almost a double flip, losing heat and my center point.  The plan is to do the whole shbang upside down, that way only one flip.  Will this work?  Will find out tonight.
