These ribs are made
from a flexible material that performs well and actually gets better
with use (it is self-polishing.) Unlike rubber this material will
not develop burrs. In fact, the more you use it the nicer it
becomes. They will actually burnish themselves as you use them. They
cover a lot of what handbuilders and throwers need from a rib. Each
rib shape is available in four hardnesses from very soft to very
firm. You choose the shape and hardness that suits your clay
and your working style. |

Both the large and small Mudcutters
can be used on production pots cutting spouts and lugs, and also
like a needle tool. The large Mudcutter has been designed to go
around a 4 inch pug, or an extrusion. It's design lends itself to
the slicing and cutting of handbuilding, or at the wheel it fits
well in the hand. Both will also work great as a faceting tool. This
is one tool that once you use it, you will ask yourself 'how did I
work without it?" The Mudcutters are made of stainless steel with a surgical stainless steel wire under tension. The small Mudcutter comes with a twisted wire, but straight wires are also available. Twisted wires are also available for the large mudcutter. The handle has an insert made from the same material as the ribs. The tool is made so you can lay it in a bucket of water and it won't rust or degrade. This is a lifetime tool. Patent Pending. Replacement wires are available for both tools. |

Mudtool Sponge
$5.00 Each or 5 for $20.00
The Bump is made with a solid aluminum shaft that is bendable but not flexible. The sponge end is a very dense material that becomes chamois like when wet and it has a hard ball inside that. The whole thing is designed to allow for great leverage to move clay in those tricky places that you cannot get your hand.
