That is pretty slick. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m definitely borrowing it. My daughter gave me a heavy wood table for my pottery studio space in our shed. My husband & I bought a large sheet of Hardie backer board, which we cut to a size that fits over one end of the table. It’s what I use to wedge clay & reclaim on. I have a smaller size we cut out & taped the edges so it doesn’t crumble. The other piece on the table top has taped ends where it’s cut too. It is held in place with clamps to prevent it from sliding. I have a wire tool that I slid one of the wooden ends thru behind the framing & the metal on the building so I’m able to cut clay for wedging. Your idea is much better. Thanks for sharing.
There is a piece of hardware you can attach your wire to and tighten it's threads when the wire gets loose. Much easier than wrapping another piece of wire around the loose wire and far less likely to cut your fingers.
@@clayclass827 If you use a high enough gauge wire (solid, not ply) and a turnbuckle, it'll last almost forever. We had one in my college classroom for 20 years and it never broke - we just tightened the turnbuckle every now and then....
Actually they are called turnbuckles and they should work fine if used properly. A come-along is a different device altogether.and would be massive overkill.

This video was really informational thank you
Fancy. I just screwed together some 2x4's and used a saw to add slots to hold my wire cutter.

I have used “come-alongs” before but it’s usually an issue with breaking before stretching. Thanks for your comment

I'm imagining the size the wedging table would have to be to do justice to a come-along.... pottery for people four times my size.😊
Hello, I have a pottery workbench. Can I communicate with you?
Sure. What is your question?
