I received a set of these tools as a gift. They are wonderful, kind of
chunky but I personally like a weighty tool. The needle tool does come with
a cap and yes it's a great idea. Enjoy!

Dear Clayarters,

Has anyone out there tried the Chung Pottery Tools Doo-Woo tools?

They look like quality tools at a good price, and i think i might get a massive
set of them. Just wondering if they are worth it or not. I was especially
astonished to see a complete Korean Ongi tool set. How uncommon! Especially
convenient because I already planned on spending the summer trying to learn the
forming process of Ongi. Got a video tape and everything.

Another interesting tool: a needle tool with a wooden cap. Great idea...

Below is the link where i found these: Thanks Peggy for the origional
lead...what a cool site!

Thanks all

Hi All!

I ordered Doo Woo tools for the bookstore here on campus last year to see if
they'd hold up under the abuse of my beginning classes, and I'm not sure
they do as well as the Kemper kits. We've had some trouble with the needle
tools coming unglued, and the ribs and wood knives seem to be made of a
softer wood that wears more than the kits we've had in the past.

I agree that the size of the tools is nice and chunky, but I've stopped
being specific about wanting the Doo Woo kits when I order. I think some of
the beginning students find the larger tools a little intimidating
sometimes, too.

By far the best tool in the bunch is the wire. It's an EPIC cut-off wire.
Soft and flexible with nice big handles. I wish someone carried the wires
alone.

Erin.

Erin and everyone,
I'm reposting this because it seems to have gotten lost
in the transfer...
I bought the Doo-Woo wire alone from my local supplier(Pine Ridge
Pottery). They sell Doo-Woo tools individually at their web site:
http://claysupply.com/

There's a whole page of Doo-Woo tools and various kits. The
wire(#1-6) is $2.95.
