Can you show us what the "restand" tool look like?

Thanks in advance.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."

Dear Michael,

I visited your demonstration on the web for the tools used to make plates,
however one cannot see the tool you are using when raising the rim. I am
assuming it could be the wooden tool with the long slanted bevel at the end.
This is what I use, but if there is a better one, would like to learn about
it.

Many thanks.

Bonnie asked for a description of the stick used for restanding.
Originally, it was maple but I was constantly replacing it due
to wear so I tried stainless steel and I have never had to make
another stick in all the years since.
I also found that I could restand right on in with far less friction
once I went to stainless steel. It has a very low coefficient of
friction with respect to clay.
