That's why you use scrap clay. There is always plenty of that around. Don't use new unmixed clay. You are correct it would be a waste. You can also re-use the same clay for the base and bumpers over and over again.

Thanks for your comment

[TheMsKittyvamp]

bumperrs and the base seem to take up alot of clay, and the stuff aint cheap

I'm sorry but this looks very time consuming. Might as well buy one of thous tomato slicers and just use that!

[neocube123]

Wow

[angelbaby4851]

that is just really a waste of clay and for what is it going to be used for

[funnystrawberry100]

that is a waste of clay to make that big of a cane... what do u do with it when it is baked???

[PeninaFaith]

@funnystrawberry100

Hi Funny Strawberry,

The veneers are applied to objects such as boxes, jars, vases and then baked. I have one client that makes designer purses and needs large cane slices so there is not as much seam work to do using tiny cane slices. It’s a big time saver. The product is really geared towards Polymer Clay artists who are making a living with their craft.

Hope that answers your question.

@blackhanz0

anything can be unsafe for idiots!! even a spoon...

[PeninaFaith]

Hi livefastanddieyoung

There are two stainless posts that are blade guards just in case you slip with the tissue blade. The two guards stop the blade before it has a chance to get past the ACS. That doesn't mean you don't need to be careful whenever you use a tissue blade. They are very sharp and can cause a bad cut when improperly used. I hope that helps

@PeninaFaith My names alexis too!

[stereal100]

@PeninaFaith ok those posts aren't tall enough to stop anything...i have worked in workshops for years and would never allow that tool the way it is in this demo to be used in the shop...that is an accident waiting to happen.

[livefastanddieyoung]

maybe it's just me put pulling such a sharp blade towards yourself just seems extremely unsafe...

[MsEverythingNow]

I see and understand what it is you are promoting here, but I just can't get myself over the fact that it is DANGEROUS to work like this.

I understand that by pulling you have more controle (I work with fimo everyday), but pulling a blade toward you is NEVER a good way to work!

And I had a list with more points, but you know.. this one is good enough.

Way to expensive too.... 95 dollars.. can't see you making a living out of selling these.

[Kandykane95]

that a pretty clay box thingy

[killerkitty777]

@Kandykane95 easy to make yourself and probably much cheaper. plexi glass, a drill, a riler and metal pegs and voila! make your own ;)

[head2toepainter]

Think outside the box. If you needed to cut a large cane, this would insure that your slices are iniform and you maintain constant control. Would you use a brush to paint a wall or a roller?

Same concept.

[NoadiArt]

Is it just me or does anything involving pulled a razor sharp blade toward me seem like a really really bad idea? This might be a useful tool but the cutting technique is dangerous, you should never pull a blade toward you.

[head2toepainter]

@NoadiArt

Like anything, you need to be careful. You actually have more control pulling then pushing.

[AlbinoMonkeyC]

It looks very usefull, but it seems a bit unnecessary to use that much extra clay.

[head2toepainter]

The bumpers are needed so the clay doesn't twist or warp as you cut it.

[Hoboseatunicorns]

eeeeh.....

[PeninaFaith]

I think if you tried it and or actually saw it in action, you might change your opinion. It's not for everyone, but the people who have and are using it are people who do larger production work and just rave about it. It's great for for furniture, large bowls etc. It would take forever to get little cane matched up to do a veneer. that large. What kind of work do you do?

[PeninaFaith]

How do you slice a 7 inch X 9 inch cane as you call it "normal" For really small things you are correct, but for large things I don't know of an easier more consistent way to make large cane slices.

[minifoodfreak]

wow

[TheKraftKitty]

uhhh....

[totallycrazy11223344]
