The money slot cutter is a great idea, and must be very handy being able to get the ends of the slot so tidy. Interesting how different Co-ops organize themselves, I do a full day looking after the shop every two weeks, some of the other members organize to do a half day every week. I find it hard to get much of my own work done there, but some members do produce a lot of their small slab work whilst waiting for customers.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-86709954640632023422012-05-18T17:39:38.659-04:002012-05-18T17:39:38.659-04:00cool tool, ha., Any kind of cuts in the clay I alw...cool tool, ha., Any kind of cuts in the clay I always have hard time with, when to cut so there aren't any burrs and too late to cut due to overly hard.
