Pretty self explanatory. Filed the end of an eye-hook screw down to give it a sharp edge that can cut into the clay which is then fixed into the groove of a vertical upright screwed/nailed to a flat bottom. Washers on each side of the screw and two nuts to hold it in place. I just put my banding wheel onto the flat base with whatever it is i want to cut down centred on that and then i push it against the sharp edge and slowly turn the wheel to cut a line at my desired height. You can use the screw to cut all the way through the clay but i just use it to make a level mark and then use a sharp knife to cut all the way through. Adjustable for pieces of different heights. All pieces will be level and in your particular case, consistency in the height of all the coconuts.
