Something to share..

I'm not one for having a lot of tools in fact, I use to laugh at the huge boxes my students would bring to class with everything under the sun in them. I spent almost every class borrowing something because I just didn't come with all my favorite tools every week. Pretty much all I throw with is a sponge, wooden cut tool, fetlin' knife, small trimming tool, needle tool and a metal rib that I use for everything under the sun. At the potters conference I picked up these two new tools. I just kept picking them up and looking at them while I was at the conference so I thought I might as well try something new. This trimming tool is made out of bicycle spoke and they say it never rusts. Guess we'll see since I'm not one to clean my tools that often. The other tool is just for scoring. I score alot with anything I can find really...pens, needle tool and my metal rib with the teeth ( when I can find it!)

I've been enjoying these I must admit!

Off to turn up the kiln. Looks like Mr. Philbeck is really cleaning the place up for my arrival this weekend. Better show up with some good work!
