Built mine last week. Super awesome. I will cut 3/4" plywood parts (latest design) for lower 48 folks (for $100 plus wood/materials and shipping) if folks want them.

[nicksmiley]

so what about pouring concrete into the rollers?

[newearthclaypottery]

@nicksmiley

Hi nick,

yes I've heard of that.. these dont flex enought to even notice

Probably if the thing was wider they would

but yea I'm sure that would eliminate flexing

I wish you the best

Bill

This looks great. I would say you do not need steel rollers. Just fill the pvc pipe with concrete to stop the flexing.

[newearthclaypottery]

@ford7653

Hi,

Thanks.

I've heard of that: however the flexing, if it actually does flex is not a factor w sizes I roll.

Fantastic and much simpler than what I made. I wish I had watched this first!

@resolutionist

Thanks. Making the model helprd me work it out

[karenchristutube]

So glad that some people are willing to share their ability with those of us who are not as intuitive. I have been waiting for a system to use my large rollers which I have been carrying around for years, and you have provided this. Thank you, so very much. Karen

[newearthclaypottery]

@jmg1957

Thank you

[ThatLynnGirl]

I love that!! Thanks for the info! I might just give it a go! I don't DO a lot of slab work but a smaller one of these would be a treat!!

[newearthclaypottery]

Thanks.

I believe the larger thicker PVC is best for up top.

You can also do it with smaller tube down below with crank on it for greater torque.

Take care.Bill

[resolutionist]

@newearthclaypottery Both tubes need to be the same size for gearing ratio otherwise it will bind
