Mel...not cardboard, a set of permanent, simplified tombo. I take bamboo
skewers, cut to diameter and depth plus a handle. First I wire them to
depth and diameter and, once I know the measurements are what I want, I take
off the wire, put a dab of silicon caulk on and let them dry.
I keep them on a board attached to the wall with holes drilled in it. Keeps
them orderly. Name of item is on a tape attached. Soup bowl are kept pretty
close this way. Weigh the clay, use a tombo, ain't repitition fun?
Just where does the mad desire for matching sets come from?

Tom,
I can visualize the depth and diameter using bamboo skewers. However, I
can't picture the handle. Could you clarify please.
Sincerely,
Ingeborg
