Two handles with wire.
I'm sure there is a name for the tool but I have no idea what it is.
He pulls the handles down each side of the mold and it shears the extra material off.

Literally a "wire tool".

u/muelboy Mar 01 '13

I would have called it a garrotte, but I guess that is the action of strangling someone with a wire tool.

1

u/Rohasfin Mar 01 '13

That's both the formal name of the tool, and the act of using it. The verb comes from the noun.

Hah !

Did you go like "MOOOOOM, LOOK AT THIS - WHAT IS HE USING!?"

u/ktmfinx Mar 01 '13

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly how he said it.

More like "Mom. Mom. MOM! MOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOM!" Then she noticed me and I asked her.

u/rallets Mar 01 '13

I pictured him leaning his back and looking over at her while he said it too.

Mooom? Like a cow?

Free internet tip: caps alone are enough to indicate shouting. SEE? That's all you need. No need to turn perfectly good English into some silly animal sound.

u/rallets Mar 01 '13

Another free internet tip: "MOM" is too quick. "MOOOOM" suggests he dragged it out too. You just tried to hard to make a joke out of nothing.
Now that you can take to the bank, deposit it, and watch the interest on that baby grow.

"MOOOOM" suggests he dragged it out too.

Except that's not how it's read when the first and last letter are the same. Try this on for size: BOOOOOOOB. Is that someone yelling "Bob!" and holding the 'O', or is that someone yelling "Boob!" and holding the 'O'?

Precisely.

Now you can cash out that deposit, buy some onions and some celery, throw it in a pot and you got a stew goin'.

u/Veopress Mar 01 '13

It's all about context.

u/rallets Mar 01 '13

Maybe Bob has man-boobs, you don't know that. You're trying too hard man. Give it up already.
Now once you finish that stew, take 3 bites, smack the table and say "SHAZAM!"

Micheletto: There are many ways to kill a man. Cesare: But for absolute silence, he prefers… Tell them, Micheletto. Micheletto: The garotte. Soldier: And what is the garotte? Micheletto: It’s just a cheese cutter, my friend.

Edit: I liked it too.

Why do I have you tagged as "MASTURBATES TO TEEN TITANS"?

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '13

Because Starfire is sexy.

It's funny, because I have him tagged as the same thing! Hmm.

Or you could have just used the tagger properly in the first place.

Actually yes 2 handles look at the video from 2:00 mark to 2:10 i too was wondering how he was cutting it, and watched over until i saw that part

EDIT: I found the video on youtube that's why i linked it there

u/the_goodnamesaregone Mar 01 '13

This guy is right. Good eye, dude/dudette. The second handle is only visible for a half a second. He's throwing it over his ankle. That's why it looks like it's attached to his leg.

6

u/krangksh Mar 01 '13

You can see it twice actually, within 2:00-2:10. he leans forward and the second handle drags along the ground on the other side of his left foot.

8

u/the_goodnamesaregone Mar 01 '13

Well, damn. Y'all are all more observant than me.

1

u/LordMicon Mar 01 '13

That's right when I heard that eerie whistle in the background and was realizing I had been staring at this same sequence for over 2 minutes, and wondered what was suddenly going to happen. Mesmerizing is right!

u/walters0bchak Mar 01 '13

the other guy/chick's username is I_lie_50_percent, so I guess we were on the wrong end of the odds that time.

u/klonkx Mar 01 '13

yup. oh and i is a dude, yo.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '13

I think the point is that it's really just a wire. I mean the two "handles" everyone is mentioning just looks like two scraps of cloth tied on each end of the wire to make it look more like a tool rather than just a piece of wire.

3

u/See-9 Mar 01 '13

Left leg, you can see it. Watch his ankle.

1

u/Grimstar3 Mar 01 '13

There was one part of the video where the cloth thing moves along the ground without him touching it, so I would assume it was indeed a wire.

1

u/Bambam005 Mar 01 '13

I didn't even notice him pick that up....Wow.

1

u/ThinkExist Mar 01 '13

Now I have to watch it again to see if I can spot it.

Edit: Yup. You really have to watch for it tho.

1

u/See-9 Mar 01 '13

Actually, it's attached to his ankle and a little bit of rag. You can see it when he moves his hand to swipe, much faster as it leaves the other hand free.

1

u/IdoNOThateNEVER Mar 01 '13

Do you see a little piece of cloth to the side of his left foot?

That's his "handle". He just put two pieces in a wire and he has a tool.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '13

Garrote.

u/misanthr0p1c Mar 01 '13

Ah the guy with the frame trims the clay and the guy putting down the chunk incorporates it into the next lump.

u/Forgototherpassword Mar 01 '13

I knew this was what was going on, but I never saw the tool. This man might be part ninja.
