This is a new group devoted to clay extruders and the amazing things people are doing with them around the world. I set up this group as a way for people like...

After 20 years of throwing I am now venturing out into the world of extruding. Having a devil of a time finding a claybody that will work for handbuilding and...
Sandy- You don't mention what kind of clay you are using, but from your comments, I assume that you are using a stoneware clay. Almost any clay body that you...
Hi Cindy, It great to hear from you. I wish others who have given up on the wheel would give extruders a try. Personally I knew I would always be a mediocre...
Twenty members already! Fantastic. Just a quick note to remind everyone to click on Polls (to the left) and answer this month's survey question. Daryl...
Daryl- As I mentioned in an e-mail directly to you, there is no way to poll for multiple answers using radio buttons. Since I personally own 6 extruders, it is...
The author of the poll can select whether to allow multiple answers. I don't know if an existing poll can be modified or if a new poll would have to be created...
Daryl, I am new to extruding -- in fact, my Bailey extruder sits in my basement studio waiting to be hung. My husband will help me, but he is a musician and...
Ah, gotcha! I guess I could've rephrased my question and asked for the favorite extruder. Maybe it's best to ask everyone to tell us what they have, which of...
Okay, I'll go in there and see if I can edit the poll. If not, I'll do another question. Bear with me, this Yahoo is new to me. Daryl ... answers. ... ...
Hi Susan, Congratulations on getting your studio all set up. Now, to get your extruder up and pumping out clay. If you have Bailey's large, baltic birch dies...
Now you can indicate more than one brand of extruder for those of you who have more than one. I'm a four extruder guy, myself. I started with a stainless North...
Hey, Daryl- Now I've got a case of the Ah Hah's. After all these years of knowing you, I should have realized that's what you wanted. Now I really have a...
Susan, To answer your question about is this Daryl the same as the author of the Extruder Book, yes he is. Although, he has moved several times between the...
Fred, Thanks for clearing this up for me! I actually hadn't noticed the author's name until after I typed the title into my message. It was exciting to notice...
Hi gang! So nice to see there is a group for fellow extrudinary people. I live in Temperance, Michigan, near Toledo and am a member of the Toledo Potters Guild...
Okay, I see, it's an application driven thing, for the most part. Makes sense. I imagine most other people have used only one or two, at the most. I like my...
"Extrudinary People! Oh, my God, that's great. I feel a t-shirt coming on. Philip, thanks for sending the links. I'm writing before looking, however. Please,...
Greetings To All Of You! Well, our little group has formed up but I haven't seen much beyond the first messages. No problem! All good things are slow to start....
Daryl, I've been meaning to post this question but just haven't gotten around to it. Your message today lit the fire under my keyboard. I have a North Star...
I was trying to figure out which was the "bead die" and it sounds like a small round hollow die. I kept thinking about round of oval beads and then I started...
Hi Jean, First of all, I am really sorry you've had difficulty getting help with North Star's bead die. I'm ashamed to report that I could have very likely...
Hi Bonnie, I'm happy to hear you're doing great things with your extruder. It's nice not having to rig up that beautiful Bailey of yours when you only need to...
I would like to add commentary if no one minds: First, I couldn't tell from your e-mail if you are trying to use the standard Z Brace for hollow dies or the...
Hi Gaye, The bead die is part of North Star's bead set, Item 951BS. It consists of Item 951B, the Bead Brace, and two Item 927 blank bead dies. The set lists...
