Oh I hope u read this I’ve been wanting to tell u my new use for my Diamondcore handle tools!! With the 2 ridge and 3 ridge ones I pull them as normal then use a sharp knife n cut in each ridge leaving it connected at the top then I plait or spiral the 2 or 3 strips that r there. Wish I could show u a photo!!
What I'd love to know is which tool is being demonstrated when it's being used and the kind of line each tool makes. It's really hard to tell the difference between them all. Some close ups would be helpful too.
Great question! Even if you're going to be using the same glaze, it would be better not to store the fountain in the bucket, simply because the glaze may settle in the reservoir just as glaze settles in the bucket. If you do, be sure to give the fountain several pushes on the foot pedal to make sure the glaze circulating through the pipe is thoroughly mixed.
Posted under wrong account name so re-posting: I'm trying to find a video on using the Arc Carving Metal Rib on a ROUNDED PIECE, such as a bowl or bottle form. The video provided shows it being used on a flat slab.

Just slow down your video speed using the gear icon in upper right. Works for all videos though you may want to turn off sound which is very annoying in slo-mo.
Hi there! I appreciate all your tutorials, but I do have a few quick questions. Your tools are amazing, but if they never dull why have replacement blades? I mean to say, are there signs we are looking for that it is time to replace the blades? Lastly, Can you interchange blades, adding a different blade to your handle?
Thank you for your question! On these fine-point blades, they will stay sharp until they eventually wear through just from use. Eventually the small blade will wear through, depending on how much carving you do and how dry the clay is. However, our fine-point tools come with a free extra blade when you purchase them!
Yes, technically, the handles of the P and FP tools are similar, and you could use both an FP or P blade on the end of the handle. However, changing the metal tips repeatedly for when you want to use a different tip makes it more likely that you could deform or otherwise damage the unique shape of the blade.
We occasionally have product promotions and shipping deals throughout the year. Be sure to watch our Facebook and Instagram pages for those special announcements!
