In my studio, my Mudcutter (wire tool) is the tool
that I pick up the most. I made one many years ago and used it on
production pots cutting spouts and lugs, and also like a needle tool.
The Mudcutter has been designed to go around a 4 inch pug, or an
extrusion. The design lends itself to the slicing and cutting of hand
building, or at the wheel it fits well in the hand. This is the best all
around wire tool for six inch pugged clay, cutting spouts, and cutting
off extrusions. It also works great as a faceting tool. This is one tool
that once you use it, you will ask yourself 'how did I work without it?'
Mudcutter is made of stainless steel with a surgical stainless steel
wire under tension. It is easy to change the wires, if needed. 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.
The Mudcutter wire tool is essential to the potter. |
