Round, square and arc loop tools. I have used saw blades in the past however I tend to shy away from offering them up as they're extremely brittle. In this case though I found a solution and it's one I've been employing on almost all of my sculpting tools - Brass supports.I used some brass upright supports for the saw blade to stiffen the loop, minimize lateral bending or the loop collapsing. The loop is made using a band saw blade so it's extremely hard wearing. The tips of the teeth have been removed and the teeth have been sharpened for clean raking. This tool is suitable for clays such as chavant, monster clay, WED clay or simliar. It can also be used on waxes.The handles are made in black walnut.LARGE LOOPS - Approximately 7.5” in length, the teeth are ground flat and sharpened. The loop is approximately 1.5 to 1.75" wide (39-45mm) The quantities I have are ready to ship. I will not be making these to order so if you order now they’ll ship within 48 hours (weekdays).

Large Sawblade Clay Rake Sculpting Tools

Set into ebonised oak, there large sawblade rake loop tools are reinforced with brass uprights for coarse raking. The loops is approximately 45 and 50mm or 1.75 to 2” wide. The overall lengths are approximately 7.5” or 185mm the diameter of the handles is 3/4” or 19mm. This set is a one of a kind “Cused Oak” set is built and ready to ship today.

Cursed Oak Sharpened Sawblade Rake Set

Set into black walnut, this large fine rake loop tool is reinforced with brass uprights for finessing the clay. Made by tightly winding piano wire around a large piano wire loop. The loop is approximately 1.25” wide. The overall length is approximately 5.25” the diameter of the handle is 5/8” or 15mm. This is a one of a kind tool is ready to ship today.

Asymmetrical Fine rake tool

This new range of tools is the latest revision to my fine tooth rake tools. I used brass tubing as upright supports for each loop to allow the loops themselves to remain a little bit bigger than the wire dictates but means that there is very little flex in them at all. So for their relative size they're very strong and will endure continuous raking of forms. Suitable for polymer clay, oil based clays, water based and almost all other types of sculpting and pottery clays.The overall length of the medium tools are approximately or 160mm or 6.25”. F1 - 9mm wide loops F2 - 15mm wide loops F3 - Triangle loop and small long reach radius the overall length of the large tools are approximately 190mm or 7.5” **NO LONGER AVAILABLE** F1 Large - 16mm wide loops F2 Large - 25mm wide loops F3 Triangle loop and large long reach radius Both ends use piano wire wrapped in finer piano wire for a superior strength loop over standard guitar loops which tend to flex and break. These loops are much stronger in fact, with very little if any flex to them and will last a lifetime. As with all of my tools, they are made to order and the process can be time consuming because I won't compromise on quality or accuracy to my original drawings and measurements. I'm also a one man band so please allow for up to 10 days after the purchase date for your order to be dispatched.

*NEW* Fine Tooth Clay Rake Tools

After so many requests, I've created 5 tools for ultra fine raking. Exploring some even finer wire than I use for my other tools, Each tool is dual ended and symmetrical. One end features even smaller twisted wire rake loops using 0.35mm wire and the other features a technique I've only recently started to employ. These loops are created by winding very fine 0.15mm piano wire around 0.45mm piano wire. The result is not dissimilar to guitar string loops but much stronger, less disposable and ALOT finer for smaller scale raking. The tools are approximately 5.5” or 146mm in length and the loops are 11/32” or around 8mm tall. 5 tools, namely E, F, G, H and I available as a set. All of my tools are made to order so please allow approximately two weeks for dispatch.

Ultra Fine Micro Rake Clay Tools

Another fun tool to use for raking down forms, Twisted Loops. All five tools are available indivdually or as a five piece set. Please be aware of the options prior to purchasing so I know if you're buying one tool or the set.These tools were born out of my need for a good sturdy blending loop tool. The loops are made out of very thin piano wire. This batch will be set into english oak handles, turned by me. Small - The smallest rake tool in this collection, I use 0.5mm piano wire, tightly twisted. The diameter of the loops is approximately 9mm or 3/8" wide.Medium - These loop tools include variations in wire diameter. The smaller wire is 0.6mm and the larger diameter wire is 0.8mm. The loops are approximately 15mm or 5/8" wide.Large - the newest and largest twisted wire tool uses 1mm wire for a coarser raking. The loops are approximately 25mm or 1" in width. Tools Small and medium - The overall length is around 7” or 17.8cm. The larger loops are coarser so you'd move from the large loop to the smaller loop for refining forms. I used some small brass upright supports for each loop to allow the loops themselves to remain a little bit bigger than the wire dictates but means that there is very little flex in them at all. So for their relative size they're very strong and will endure continuous raking of forms. Suitable for sculpey, oil based clays, other polymers and wax, this tool and the pitch and depth of the twists in the wire allow for a good amount of material to be refined. I use this when defining shapes on some of the small toy figures I sculpt which stand anywhere from 40mm (1.5") to, well it doesn't matter - this loop is applicable at any scale for any detail. As with all of my tools, they are made to order and the process can be time consuming because I won't compromise on quality or accuracy to my original drawings and measurements. I'm also a one man band so please allow for up to 10 days after the purchase date for your order to be dispatched.
