A set of 3 pcs, 2 vertical plus 1 herizontal ruler (Bottom thickness and Tombo) Stainless Steel Pottery Measuring Tools by Master Potter HsinChuen Lin 林新春
I designed these set of tools for more precise measurements while trimming and throwing sets of pots.
1. Get exact measurement of the bottom thickness before trimming, and while trimming, constantly check how much clay can be removed so that it won't be cut through or left too thick.
2. A clever update of the classic “Tombo” sticks. By adding o-rings to the rulers, people can hold the tools in positions to get more accurate measurement when making sets of cups/bowls.
3. When making nesting bowls, make the largest one first, measure the inner width and depth. Reduce 20-22mm on both dimensions for the next smaller bowl.
