Small Shredder - Mudtools Virginia Wilson grab all three small FANGSThe Small Shredder is an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather hard clay. For years you could find a tool like this at the hardware store this type of rasp was originally designed to be used on wood, but clay people, sculptors and auto body repairmen discovered how well the blade worked on other materials (like clay and auto body filler). The problem was the handle design. The handle would trap clay and get clogged up. Michael Sherrill
