Diy slab cutter...

Hi. Made some slab cutters. From some junk shelves I found.(Birch plywood$$$).
Linseed oil finish. Nothing fancy. Thanks for looking.

Nice job!!

Plenty of examples online to copy. Want to try some swirls/designs. That requires a small slab mold. And you cut across the grain. Thanks for all the support.

Nice! Any interest in selling one? I don’t have the tools or skills to make one myself.

My first slab man....
Tested my slab cutter. Less drag with freezer paper. Went thru slicker than (insert favorite slippery thing). 50 weight motor oil. On a cement floor. And the only place dry. Is the foot you haven't moved yet.
This gave me 2 3x3x10 loafs. Got lucky centering my texture line. not off by much.
Used my single wire cutter. To cut to bar size.

I'll post stats on soap. In a separate post.
Thanks for looking.

Hi, would you mind telling me the type of wire you used please? I am busy constructing a cutter and i am stuck on the wire choice.

I'm not the OP, but I used Stainless Steel Spring Wire I got from Amazon

Hi, yes, just a guitar string. As @AliOop mentioned previos. You can get. Individual strings at any music shop. If a multi pack is not needed. Post some pics. When you get a chance. We like pics. Good luck.

I actually would love more pics of yours ! Does the height of the cut is changeable ?

Hi, mine are one height. Only need to drill more holes. To achieve different heights.
