4" or so pvc or steel pipe. Length depends on how wide
a slab of clay you want to roll out. Fill it with concrete.
(Ok, so length of pipe also depends on how much dead
weight you can lift?) Use it as a roller over thin sticks,
the thickness of the slab you want, on either side of the
soon-to-be-flattened wad of clay.

When work you've done using this cheapskate's dream
of a solution pays off well enough to upgrade, purchase
something else.

I posted these instructions for a friend of mine. I got them from an out of
print book (which I refer to on the page. The comments were lisfed directly
from another Clayart thread.

I posted these for information only (not for reprint or resale), but if
there are copyright issues I will be glad to remove them.
