Abstract:
An apparatus for creating a compressed freestanding column of a malleable substance, the apparatus comprising:a cylindrical body having an interior cylindrical surface, an exterior cylindrical surface and first and second ends, said ends being fully open;an inclined perpendicular track, on said interior cylindrical surface extending continuously from said first end to said second end; anda plurality of handles extending from said exterior surface, dimensioned and arranged to be grasped by a user;wherein said cylindrical body, said inclined perpendicular track and said plurality of handles are constructed and arranged such that when the cylindrical body is filled with a malleable substance that is compressed therein, a user pushes on the handles to turn the cylindrical body about the compressed malleable substance, consequently causing the cylindrical body to vertically rise upon the compressed malleable substance, due to the inclined perpendicular track, after which the cylindrical body can be further be filled with the compressed malleable substance, and the steps continuously repeated thereby forming a freestanding column of the compressed malleable substance.
