Turned rolling pins for my daughters Christmas presents

[@timsInSSI]

A gift that keeps on giving. Hand made, always the perfect gift.

Thanks Tim. Maybe I can get a pumpkin pie out of it! Happy new year.

Larry, your family members are so fortunate to benefit from all of the gifts you have crafted for them. Merry Christmas to you and I'm looking forward to more of your videos in 2022!

Thank you so much for the kind words, you made my day! Happy new year Timothy!

My dad & I are getting ready to make me & my granddaughter a rolling pin. I am so glad I came across your video. We got aged hardwood from my cousin’s sawmill. Dad has a lathe and he is going to be doing me one that is just longer with no handles, just tapered slightly at the ends, because my arthritis tends to make my hands cramp up after rolling large batches of noodles. Then we will do the one with handles. I will then decide which one to make for my granddaughter, but for young children, I think no handles would be simpler.

[@LSatch]

Glad you enjoyed it. You’re right, the handles are a little more complicated. Good luck, sounds like a great project. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice gifts and video--well explained. The girls will love and cherish these forever! Merry Christmas!

[@LSatch]

Thank you. They liked them. Happy holidays to you..

Thank you for telling us what speed you are turning at. Too many other videos do not share that information. I find it very helpful.

[@LSatch]

You’re welcome. I get frustrated too when they share their speeds. If I make these again I think I’ll use the next size up of metal.

Very nice 👍

Thank you and thank you for your feedback.

Just amazing work my friend. In our family for more years than my 68 years we have had a big family Christmas at my Grandparents old farm house and anyone over 15 draws a name for the following year. I have two Daughters and on two separate years my Uncle had their names and made them a rolling pin made from a blank of solid Birdseye Maple with Walnut handles and he said they were assembled in a similar way. My uncle also made one for the wife but unlike the Daughters he made my wife's with a wall mount cradle. I wish to ask you if you have ever built the cradle because my Daughters are asking for one for their Rolling Pins and unfortunately my beloved Uncle is no longer with us. Hope you and yours had a great Christmas.

[@LSatch]

Wow, that’s an awesome story. I’ve never made a wall mounted cradle but I don’t think it would be that difficult if you have some basic tools and some basic woodworking experience. The most important part of the build would be orientation of the grain for the curved part of the cradle. You want the long part of the grain under the rolling pin. I’m working on a couple of chairs right now but I’ll try to make one in the next few weeks an post the video. Thanks for watching and sharing your story, happy new year.

Great work. They look awesome.

[@LSatch]

Thanks Jeff. Happy new year. Hope you’re doing well.

[@mgmassey174]

Bet they loved them🌹

[@LSatch]

Yes they did. I made mini ones for the 6 youngest grandkids for play dough. Happy new year!

[@mgmassey174]

@@LSatch Happy New Years to you and yours as well 🌹🙏💯

😊

[@Sirmullins]

I hope the girls appreciate you. Don't forget to burn a date with your initials on the end, always put your stamp on things handmade. Noone remembers the "when" of a gift but never forgets the "who".

[@LSatch]

Thank you. I did. Happy new year.

Merry Christmas, Larry. My wife loves rolling pins. She has a few where the metal rod is bent. What kind of metal rod did you use.

[@LSatch]

That is/was a concern of mine. I used 1/4 stainless steel. It seems pretty stiff. It’s 316, Stainless Steel, Rod Stock, Diameter 1/4 in. Grainger said this 316 stainless was very corrosion resistant. I told the girls I’d fix them if needed. If I find bending a problem I’d go with thicker steel. My wife had one with ball earrings that went bad. I took it apart and it was 1/4”. Time will tell. Thanks for watching and happy new year

other than a bat, does quarter sawing matter?

[@LSatch]

No, not for a roller pin
