to use the darned thing! I've tried pushing a ball of clay up the wooden
spoutmaker, then pulling a spout, but I keep getting uneven walls.
Has anyone used one of these things before? Any and all suggestions would b=

Roll a slab and use the wooden spoutmaker as a form for making the spout.=

Hi Teri;
It is very similar to rolling out a clay sausage but with the
spout-maker inside the clay. Imagine a pretzel dog with the
spout-maker being the hot dog and the pretzel dough is the plastic
clay. And you roll your hand gently over it on the table.
It is lunch time over here, obviously.
