#41 Salt Cellar

[@pmwoodstudio]

Nice project! Especially liked not having a post/hinge but use the strong magnets - brilliant!!!! Another good tip using the worm screw to hold as you turned the new tennion!!!

[@BobBlarneystone]

For locating the magnet hole in the lid, I suggest that after drilling the 10mm hole in the body, that you install a dowel center and then place the body against the inside corner of a box. Then position the lid over the body with the appropriate grain alignment and then push down to locate the center of the hole for the lid magnet.

Great job. I'm glad you were able to find a solution. I never would have thought of the woodworm screw.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Many thanks. I'm not great at solutions but I sometimes surprise myself! Cheers Andrew

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Andrew you do some of the cleverest projects. Thanks for giving me ideas!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Stuart - you are very generous! I do like to try out new things, and I'm pleased that you find some of interest. If you haven't already got some - get some rare earth magnets. They are really handy to have around the workshop, and also open up opportunities for projects. Thanks again and have a great day. Andrew

[@hraun2berg]

Truly beautiful Andrew, very thorough demonstration. Regards, Júlíus

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Júlíus - I'm glad you like the vid too. Cheers Andrew

[@normanroberts9914]

That’s a beautiful piece of turning great job

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Norman. Much appreciated. Cheers. Andrew

[@John_C999]

Thanks for the video Andrew I like the way you review your work at the end in the what have I learnt part very helpful tips.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks TheJohnc2. I'm really glad you like the format. I'm learning all the time and more than happy to share my experiences - good or bad. That way viewers can see what not to do - ha ha. Cheers Andrew

[@maggiekavanagh2801]

A really enjoyable, and informative video, and love the end result!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Maggie - I'm really glad you like it. It was an interesting project. Rare earth magnets have all sorts of uses. All the best. Andrew

[@SteveKlemish]

I really enjoyed this video thank you so much. I’m planning on making some for Christmas gifts now thanks to your video. I really like how at the end you finish with “OK so what did I learn…“ Very much appreciated!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Steve. Many thanks for the feedback. Model engineering has now taken over my woodturning, but it's good to know that some of my videos are still of interest. I hope the Christmas presents turn out OK. Cheers Andrew

[@MikeWaldt]

Brilliant Andrew, like that a lot mate. A job very well done Cheers Mike

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Mike. Very much appreciated. Have a great day. Cheers Andrew

[@joefussey2758]

Love it great little project. Well done.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Joe. It was interesting to do, but it seemed to take a while to complete. But I got there in the end! Thanks again. Andrew

[@Tassie646]

Nice job Andrew, liking your videos Mark

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Mark - glad you like the vids too. Cheers Andrew

[@barrycook4690]

Grand job there Andrew

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Barry. Take care mate. Andrew

[@PaulLockwood]

Great job Andrew. Well done!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Paul. All the best. Andrew

[@leksey7870]

I like your work Andrew! It was very informative!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Many thanks Аleksey. Cheers Andrew

[@teamwild_UK]

Nice work Andrew. I like making offset bowls and I've found that glue blocks held on with hot-melt glue work well for off center bowls and boxes. The big selling point is that you can easily remove and re-attach should you need to get back to the original alignment. Another tip, if you get chance to see Mark Baker, editor of Woodturning magazine, do his demo with the beading tool, he suggests taking off the sharp points of the tool so that it doesn't penetrate so deep into the wood but still gives you a good bead. All the best. Ben

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Ben - many thanks for the tips. Hot-melt glue is an excellent idea - I should have thought of that one! I'll certainly check Mark Baker's demo out. Cheers Andrew

[@holzweg666]

Its so very nice Andrew, and a good Ideas with the Magnet. I have subscribe your channel because you are an very good Woodturner and you have a very like able Kind to teach your work. (I beg your pardon for my bad englisch, I come from Northern Germany. ) I will hope to see more of your wonderful working in the future. Many Greetings from Germany and stay healthy!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Schorschi. I hope to get back to some more turning soon. Cheers Andrew

[@dandixon4253]

Great project!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Cheers Dan!

[@woodturningwithDave]

Great job Andrew. :)

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Cheers David.

[@tomhubbard7053]

Very nicely done. I love my woodworm screw. I use it lots. Have you ever considered a Japanese pull saw for cutting pieces off the lathe? Inexpensive Chinese made versions are readily available here in the States.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Tom. I have seen some people using those saws but always thought they were way outside of my budget. One would be really useful, so I will check out prices. Thanks for the tip! Cheers Andrew

[@johnmccormack9220]

Hi Andrew another nice piece like the end result and how you got there 👍

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks John. I do try to document most stages of a project. It might help others to replicate what I have done. Also, others might tell me how I should have done it properly! :-) Cheers Andrew

[@wagWAGart]

great job nice piece

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Wayne Have a great day. Cheers Andrew

[@WoodyWood]

Very nice little pot Andrew as I was dragged up I'm not sure I would know what it was for. Just a suggestion and I think I know the answer but you could have used a carbide tool to remove most of the wood and normal tools for the finish

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Graham - thanks for the suggestion. I've not ventured into carbide as yet, but I guess it could have made life a little easier - as you suggest. The square end scraper I used definately seemed to be hard work. Maybe I'll bite the bullet sometime. All the best. Andrew

[@philiphamilton1479]

Nice one. I have been experimenting and have just completed a Salt Cellar based on the Magazine article (magnetic hinge), a 4 axis turning (similar to your no.34 'Off Centre Vase' but without the twist) and a hemispherical 'bowl' so there are no corners to trap the 'food'. Now need to make it properly in a food-safe timber. Respectfully suggest that you should not use spalted timber for food containment - the salting is a fungus!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Philip. Your salt cellar sounds amazing! Thanks for the advice regarding the wood. Cheers Andrew

[@Babs11285]

Hi I bought a salt cellar from Crate and Barrel. It has a very pungent "wood" smell to it. If I put salt in it will the smell of it transfer to the salt? I do not want my salt to taste like that that is for sure! Is there anything I can do to get rid of that smell?

[@patricksephton5433]

Thanks for the great videos Andrew. I am new to turning and you have some great videos with very neat ideas on how to solve problems which face new turners. Is your stamp on your projects an ink stamp?

[@learningturningmetal]

Thanks Patrick, I'm glad you find the vids useful. The logo is made from a heat stamp. I think I talked about it in one if my videos. I've since sold all my woodturning gear and moved on to model engineering, making little static steam engines. So, my woodturning channel will not get any additional content but it's good to know that it's still helping others. All the best and have fun! Andrew

[@venusboss6470]

Do you sell any of your projects?

[@alfkey4155]

Hello Andrew,, a couple of pointers,, the cellar needed to be rounded inside so it can be cleaned, and change the grind on that bowl gouge,, keep the bevel angle but take down the wings ,,check out the ONE WAY videos on KZbin, on sharpening bowl gouges, you could spend less time sanding,, Happy New Year,, Regards Alf

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Alf, many thanks for the tips. It makes a lot of sense rounding the inside. I never though of that, and followed the design in the mag. At the moment I'm happy with the profile of my bowl gouges but I understand where you are coming from. I'm confident in using them and don't want to upset the apple cart at the moment! Maybe one for me to explore in the future. All the best, and take care. Cheers Andrew
