Hi,
The only way to get what you want is to have it made for you =A3250 might ju=
st=20
do it.
Keep a look out for a school getting rid of a pugmill which can be made into=

a larger extruder. You will need to find a local welder / metal worker=20
"chap" or "chapess" to do the work. Some ideas in the following books:

Ceramic Extruding - inspirations & techniques by Tom & Jean Latka
ISBN 0-87341-903-0 =A325.00

Extruded Ceramics by Diana Pancioli A&C Black ISBN 0-7136-5682-4
=A325.00

I would recommend both books to the DIY extruder maker.

Stephen,
