I'm trying to locate a copy of an out-of-print book, but have had no luck
with local or Internet sources. I hope that someone has a copy tucked away
and no longer in use. The book is:
Title: Handmade Potter's Tools: Basic and Innovative Ideas
Authors: Philip Whitford and Gordon Wong
Publisher: Kodansha America, Inc.
Date: 1986 or 1987
ISBN: 0870117726
If you have a copy on your shelf and are willing to part with it (for
compensation, of course!), please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi from Janet across the sound!

Definitely we are gifted people, otherwise we would buy these works, not
make/sell.
If you cannot find this book start in
http://pages.about.com/bsondahl/potterytips.html the part of the site of
Brad Sondahl You might get there some advises.
What next? If you have or can buy A jigsaw and a small drill the kind you
can attach to the table: The next things you need are broken chairs and a
catalog of wooden ribs, or any other thing you had to buy. I made when I
started to work with clay, from a piece of rounded wood+steel wire from an
old typewriter, a needle tool . You need also epoxy cement and twine. you
can make tools like the Kemper tools , put the twine around and cover with
epoxy- if you did not succeed-you have challenge for the next time

Maybe this has been mentioned, my clayart post reading has been a bit
patchy of late, but at last year's NCECA it was announced that Vince
would have a book coming out on this very topic.
Any more news VInce.
Also, will there be more "Tool Doctors" this year? Vince, David and Jack
were a hard act to follow. I would suggest Lana Wilson as damn good
start.

Last Fall I wrote to the listserve to ask if anyone had a copy of an
out-of-print book by Philip Whitford and Gordon Wong, "Handmade Potter's
Tools," for sale. It was published by Kodansha and focuses on Japanese
tools, including ribs and brushes. I used the copy at the Library of
Congress and really wanted a copy of my own - I highly recommend it,
especially with regard to the commentary on ribs.
Several months ago I located a copy for myself through a used book store.
However, I forgot to remove my name from several Internet book search
services. One of them has located a second copy at Silicon Valley Fine
Books in Sunnyvale, CA.
I do not need a second copy. There were enough responses to my initial
posting on the list serve saying "If you find a second copy, I am
interested in one also" that I thought I would let everyone know that it =
is
available. I will release the book so that anyone who is interested can
contact the seller (either ABE or Silicon Valley Fine Books) directly.
