This item, here on the wall, is called a clay extruder and it's like a giant Play-Doh factory.
You can squeeze out any shape, out of this thing, that you want. It's really great for
handles. You can get very even and consistent handles, by using something like this. You
can purchase, at your clay supplier or online, precut dye's. This is called a dye. This is
one that's just a variety of sizes and circles. This is one that's made specifically for handles
and there are a number of different choices. So, if you buy something like this, you just
choose the shape that you want and then, there's a cover, and you cover every other shape,
besides the one that you're going to use. You place it inside here and then you connect
this piece, to your extruder. Now, if you can't find a shape that you want for handles,
or whatever you're going to extrude, online or at the store, there's also an option of
buying a blank dye. This is a really hard piece of plastic and it fits, perfectly, inside
the extruder and you can draw any shape, you want, on it and then cut it out with a drill
or a band saw. So, the possibilities are really limitless.
