Wood Toaster Tongs - Christmas Gifts from the Wood Shop

[@barbblack7825]

They are awesome. Labour of love but are functional, look great and hand made. Can't get better.

This is a good idea for gifts or craft shows ... thanks! Wish my shop was as well-equipped as yours! I suppose you could you take out the arc in the center block with a Forstner bit on the drill press instead of a double pass on the router.

That thought hit mid project - if I were making 100’s of these I’d find a 1” center cutting end-mill and find a way to chuck it on a drill press. A bit geeky, but they cut very clean and don’t try to grab and move the part like a Forster bit. Could even drill out after glue up with no problem.

Dude! There is a 65% chance i will steal this idea. Merry Christmas!

[@samuelwiltzius]

heck yeah! Go for it. So far the people who received them have really liked them. Merry Christmas!

[@TonyMcCormick]

Votre projet est intéressant, et je vais me servir de cette idée pour fabriquer des chopsticks ! ( je suis incapable d’utiliser des chopsticks standards pour manger des sushis 😅😅).

Too much work using your method. I cut 5 degree bevels bevels on a strip of wood for pivot. Cut legs using a thin rip jig. Cut bevel block to match legs. Glue 1 leg to block with titebond 3 and a drop of CA glue and activator and clamp with a spring clamp. Repeat for 2nd leg later. I dip in mineral oil and hang to dry overnight.
