A continuation of my little tour focusing on a homemade slabroller and how I use a WorkMate for wedging clay.

  • The canvas actually isn't canvas. It is something called SlabMat, which really works well!

  • What size canvas do you use for this homemade slabroller? Thanks!!!

  • It's suprisingly stable with the legs extended out. You also can put one foot on the crossbar.

    Thanks for looking, marihani

  • As long as the workmate is stable, that's a pretty good place to knead your clay. Good idea.

  • Yes, it's an easy project except the making of the central pipe/roller. The axle has to be exactly centered otherwise the roller will wobble as it rotates and make uneven thickness slabs. I turned two washers to just fit inside the pipe and welded them in place then made a larger washer to keep the wire rope from coming off the ends (which it did at first) Everything else is pretty easy if you have some woodworking/mechanical skills.

  • Thanks for the book tip, I've been toying with the idea of a roller...would you consider it a relatively easy project to take on? Basic tools?
