Can you show us what the "restand" tool look like?
Thanks in advance.

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.
