Slab Roller Assembly Day!
Oh, what fun it was to unbox and assemble our brand new North Star slab roller! We’re going to have two (the other is a smaller table-top-mounted one) but this one is freestanding, with a wheel to make you feel like a ship’s captain on the high seas and 24” of slab-rolling width!
Our 24” slab roller is ready to go into service to make our handbuilding imaginings a reality!
Just imagine all the marvelous things we can build with slabs that big. I know my giant rosemary plant needs to be transplanted into a new planter this spring. Can’t wait to try it out!
The gears are so lovely and they spin so smoothly!
It seems almost a shame to cover them up with the gear guard, but safety first! I do wish they had transparent gear guards though, so we could watch them at work
As soon as we get a table for our second slab roller, that one will go up, too! At the moment, we’re hard at work picking out work tables of various sorts and shelving for all of the amazing projects that are going to be made here at the Staunton Clayground.
Watch this space!
