Wood turning a chef's salt and pepper holder #66

[@stuartbruton48]

That, my friend, is an awesome bit of play. Beautiful and functional. Thanks for sharing it with us 👍

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

You are more than welcome

[@chrisgough2205]

"Somewhat similar" is good for us Steve - we like it!😀

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

And so do i, my brother hasn't seen it yet so I'm hoping he likes it too

[@denocro3586]

I enjoyed that. Cheers

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

You are more than welcome

[@nicolastratton8192]

I love the way the shiny stuff transforms the wood and really shows off the grain

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Nicola, the "shiny stuff" is a cellulose based sanding sealer, and your right it does show off the grain to very good effect, that has to be one of the most enjoyable moments of wood turning when you apply that and you see all that beautiful grain exposed for the first time

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

I love it. This is a good idea. ❤

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Bonita, my brother uses this all the time. Are you a wood turner and are you going to have a go at making one

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

@@thehampshirewoodturner 😆 not a woodturner. A former crochet and needlepointer. Until my friend Arthritis side lined me. Now I'm an avid KZbin watcher. Woodturning. Quilting etc...

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Im sorry to hear that a friend of mine has had to deal with this from quite a young age and i know how debilitating that can be @@bonitagoodwin5086

[@kenharper616]

You are one of the best.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thank you Ken that is extremely nice of you to say so

[@kerstin4516]

Turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing the trick with the piece of lead and the fixing screws through the piece.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Your welcome Kerstin sorry i haven't replied sooner

[@turningwood720]

Hi Steve, well done and honestly presented. I am a hobby woodturner too and so I will give your project a try next time. Kind regards from Germany, Egbert

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Glad you enjoyed it and are inspired by it, let me know how you get on with it, I have been giving it a lot of thought latey as to how i could extend this further with maybe 3 or 4 holes in it

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Great looking pieces!

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Chris, it is as I'm sure you can appreciate incredibly difficult to make them the same, but very satisfying

[@kenharper616]

Excellent work young man.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Glad you liked this one, my brother asked me to make this and it did cause me to give it some serious thought

[@scottstubberud1137]

Excellent work! I think you were wise to reduce the size of the knob. The first was bulky. Only thing I would have done differently is I would have put a burn line on the top of the knob on one lid, not on the other, to easily distinguish salt and pepper sides! I do love oak, even well seasoned I think it turns beautifully and looks great when finished. I used to have a source of oak wood pallets that I broke down years ago and have used it in various projects over the years and I am finally nearing the end of. I use it mainly for wood turning now and love it. Nothing like getting white oak that has a lot of figure in it for free! Great video, great results!! Scott

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Scott glad you enjoyed it, I made a smaller one than this and my brother uses the bigger one for cooking and the smaller one on the table at dinner parties, and he said it always generates conversation about how unique it is

[@scottstubberud1137]

Thanks for replying to me! Really enjoyed your work. Scott

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Mark I even surprise myself some times

[@paintilludrop]

Idea is interested, yes, would add a detail on lid for salt, ring or burn line.

[@Гена-ю9д]

Good work man👍👍👍 I like &subscribe to your channel....

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks for the sub!

[@rubycler6221]

What were the dimensions of the block you started with? Thanks

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Sorry ruby but that piece has long gone, so im unable to measure it. I know i was more governed by the diameter of the pieces i can turn on my lathe, are you thinking of having a go at this?

[@rubycler6221]

@@thehampshirewoodturner Thanks. I’ll add it to my list of future projects

[@johnmeeks9618]

Should have made the decorations different for each lid to distinguish between salt and Pepper.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Next time!
