OK Will, I'll give it a shot. It should be a challenge:
- Needs to be ceramic instead of wood so it can be a mug as well
- Tolerances will be interesting because clay shrinks as it fires. Hopefully the grooved box and the sliding lid will shrink at the same rate
- The spider and mechanism will have to be removable so the box can be fired. Plastic spiders don't do well at 1900 degrees LOL
- As clay dries it reaches a perfect consistency for carving. The key will be holding it to that consistency until all the carving is done.
- Spider mechanism should be food safe and rust proof since it will be immersed in the drink. Maybe stainless steel
Let's do this!
