Scratching apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements that can be assembled together to form a tower, wherein the plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements each include an aperture extending through the scratchable sacrificial element from one major face to the other such that each of the scratchable sacrificial elements align to form a channel defined by each aperture of each of the plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements, a support rod, a cap, a tightening fixing for coupling the cap to the support rod, and a base having a first surface on which the tower can be mounted so that the tower is generally upstanding from the base when the apparatus is in use, wherein tightening the tightening fixing against the cap clamps the tower between the cap and the base, wherein the scratchable sacrificial elements are stackable on the support rod to form a tower of stacked sacrificial elements, and wherein the support rod is insertable through the apertures of each of the plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements that form the tower to stabilize the tower.
Scratching apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements that can be assembled together to form a tower wherein the plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements each include an aperture extending through the scratchable sacrificial elements from one major face to the other such that the scratchable sacrificial elements align to form a channel;
- a base having a first surface on which the tower can be mounted so that the tower is generally upstanding from the base when the apparatus is in use;
- a support insertable through the apertures of the sacrificial elements that form said tower to stabilise the tower, wherein said support comprises a support base, and a rod upstanding from said support base, wherein the rod is insertable through apertures of the scratchable sacrificial elements, said apparatus further comprising:
- a supplementary support rod and a coupling rod for engaging said supplementary support rod with the support rod of said support;
- a cap, and
- a tightening fixing for coupling the cap to the supplementary support rod so that the tower is sandwiched between the cap and the base.
