    Thank you, I am taking a class about different instruments of ancient tools that was used in ancient time, your visual video about wax surfaces used in Roman times made my text writing to be understandable. Thank you!

    You youngsters with your modern implements. In my time we only had clay tablets, and if we wanted to preserve them we had to fire them in the kiln.

    Viewer watching this, you go to grammar, have to do a latin project and want to find an easy make, that’s why you’re watching this video

    Does this actually work? The cut-away before they actually write on it makes me very suspicious.

      Hello! It does work - you can use skewers or something equally pointy to write with. We only had a chopstick in the studio, and no knife at hand to make it sharper!

    Hi, wonder how did you made the stick to carve the tablet?

      That is a single break-away Chinese food take-out chopstick, if you're still interested in this after four years.

    Hi ! Do you know how to print from this? I am working on a project with ESOL groups and we'd like to make prints.
