Home-made roller

Slab Roller - Home Made

Chilly, did you make this from the plans in one of the ceramic arts workbooks? 

No, we looked at lots of pictures, videos and "how-tos" and came up with our own plan.  Partly from "stock material" sizes, partly to fit the storage space, partly...........

The bit we splashed out on was the heavy duty thick walled pipe.

I really love it, it lived for a while on it's end under the bench in the greenhouse, and I used it on the workhorse stand out in the garden.  I finally cleared off enough bench space so it now lives permanently on the bench, ready for immediate  use.

It's adjustable by removing the inside floor, which comprises two (3?) pieces of mdf, and two A2 cutting mats, one to protect the mdf from wet clay, then second to give finer adjustment to rolling thickness.
