Can I make cleaning tools at home to save money?

Groove Cleaner

A handy and easy tool to make is a groove cleaner. Using a dowel (will become the handle) between 1/4 and 1/2 inch wide and about 5 inches long, screw a screw into one end of the dowel, leaving about 2 to 3 inches sticking up. Using cutters, cut off the head of the screw. Holding it by the "handle," rub the thread part against the greenware groove and move it back and forth, deepening the groove. It doesn't take much so don't over do it.
