***RIP Pasta Machine mk II***

[blue]

Fine........
I killed pasta machine mk II in three weeks flat.
Pasta machine mk I lasted almost a couple of years.

Moral of the story. dont buy cheepy pasta machines and dont use them to flatten boulders of clay.

Anyone have any other suggestions for flattening clay???



warm regards


Your pasta machineless buddy

OH NO!!!!! AAARRGH!

Do you have a good old roller? acrylic maybe? I find mine good for starting off a new chunk - yep, saves the pasta machine.

awww thanks so much for the links. yes i do have an acrylic roller and just use it for little bits. Ive decided to save up my pennys and get a good old solid one. and then i will never roll a boulder again. ( hangs head. poor little pasta machine. it was just the cog off the main roller wheel it disintegrated. but it was only aluminum not steal. hmmmm

now ill have bags of pasta machine bits.........its a shame i cant build something........ ---off to the bat cave to rebuild me something lol
