Woodturning - Salt and Peppermill Extravaganza (The Nasty!)

[@patriciahall924]

The salt and pepper mills are a labor of love and I’m positive your friends and family will appreciate them very much!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes! Thank you!

[@larrydraper1620]

You may hate doing them but with some nice wood and designer epoxy you made some absolutely beautiful salt and pepper grinders. Also love the sandpaper you use.

[@leisongivangomo4478]

42:21: OH 💩!!!! I thought for sure it would break! So glad it didn’t!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

That was my first thought too, lol. Thanks

[@ChadLee1973]

I like the idea of showing the good, bad, and the ugly of your business. Always love your watching work

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@BonitaHughlett]

Jim, you did your signature wonderful job for your friends and family! They are beautiful! But I see what you mean about them being labors of love as they definitely do not look like an enjoyable job like bowls or hollow items and such. Kudos to you for doing it for them!

[@ODDwayne1]

Jim thanks for enduring your least favorite nasty thing to do. Made a great video for us. 👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@greenmanjnj]

I so agree! I loved his nasty!! Hmmm

[@jeanb103]

The resin mills are absolutely gorgeous. Their owners should cherish them!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@amandasaulmon3493]

Jim, those are amazing. I love the inlays. I'm sure they do get repetitive and boring but they are still gorgeous and I'm sure anyone who receives one as a gift is greatly appreciative.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@stephanieparker1250]

When I saw the title of this video I immediately though, “but he hates making those!” 😮 The mills turned out AMAZING!! 🎉

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yup, lol. Thanks

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Beautiful salt & pepper mills! While walnut is king, the resin sets are really really nice! I like the orange/red best. The walnut & turquoise is a darn close 2nd!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks again!

[@alainnoel2198]

Hi Jim, a greatly appreciated presentation this week again. Hi wish your son the happiest wedding day and lot's of pleasure for you parents. I enjoyed your added information on your motives going to woodturning. I completely share your motives ! After 42 years working as a university professor, rresearcher and international consultant travelling extensively around the world (almost 4 months per year on the road) I cherrish the peacefulness of my garage shop, the gratification of creation and holding finsihed products in my hand. All is positive contrary to the "bitching world od academia" I lived in for so long. I unfortunately started only at 71 and doubt I will ever be able to do all the different objects I'd like to try... Thanks for enabling us to learn so much from your videos, for selfmade turners it is invaluable.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes, a fella just needs some me time sometimes, lol. Thank you so much!

[@GracieValenti1]

I know the mills aren't your favorite thing to turn but I had a blast watching this vid! Something completely different than what I've seen before and I found the process fascinating! I bet your friends and family will love them. And you've only got a few people to go to hit 100,000, congrats!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!!

[@chrisjohnston2449]

Sandpaper Designer Epoxy. Yes to using Robertson screws. I throw away all the Phillip screws from any kits I get. Great job on all of the sets and the one for your lovely wife. Good luck with all the wedding plans.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@moniqueloyd4724]

These are so beautiful and time consuming but well worth it. The colors are just wonderful. Great job.🎉🎉🎉

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you!!

[@imwhisper]

Thanks to Uncle Dave! If your wife doesn't side eye your turquoise inlay I'll be shocked. 😂😂 These all look great!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

She loves it. Thanks

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

Not gonna lie, the inlay grinders are the star of the show! Should be a standard feature, and definitely a high-value increase!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@marieestes5200]

Beautiful "nasty" keepsakes. I'm the practical person who'd love these, items for daily use. Your work is artistry and definitely beauty to behold. As always, thanks for showing and teaching us about your craftsmanship. Best wishes for a lifetime of love to your son & fiancee!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@j.s_cabin]

hey, we have a tax of 24%, get rid of it then. $200 is also an impossible price for us. Nobody will even look if you put one on the price tag. In Finland, it is really difficult to support yourself as a woodturner, and on top of that, support your family. I'm happy if I get the coffee money on top of the expenses😂😂

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, 24% in sales tax? Thats painful!

[@metfrk81]

Anyone else instinctively try to catch the piece Jim dropped off the lathe? Well done, Jim. Haha. Those look real nice.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I was lucky, lol. Thanks

[@adelegalpin5353]

Thing is shipping to England will be better then the beautiful big bowls because of the weight … and they are so gorgeous … love the wood inlay ones … resin is gorgeous … but I love the real wood and inlay …

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@ClarenceObert]

Love the epoxy S&P mills, especially the blue ones. The natural wood, what a great idea to put the white/black inlay on the top. Absolutely genius. Thanks and have a great weekend. I don't need the epoxy, but sandpaper would be a welcome addition to my plastic model hobby.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kameronhott7499]

Love hearing your backstories. I got into wood turning for an escape from the world. I love your work and look forward to seeing what you come up with each week. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@stsfuzzybear4613]

Very important week for you. Most important, a son getting married. Wonderful! Second, earning your silver button on UTube! Designer Epoxy. Enjoy your week. Savor both your special moments. Congratulations! Now hopefully your friend will put the salt and pepper in the correct containers. 🧂🌶️ (no black pepper emoji 😢).

[@SpragueWoodturning]

He probably won't, haha. Thanks

[@crystalroby4416]

Great job, Jim! Tell your son and his bride best wishes, and congratulations as they start their lives together.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@jenhovland2454]

My husband and I both enjoy watching your projects. He's excited to try making mills.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad you like them! Thanks

[@donnagreen7386]

They are all fabulous but the purple and blue set is my favourite! Congratulations to your son and his bride, hope you all have an amazing time 🥂

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@thefreemathtutor]

A very interesting video! The idea of getting a kit and trying to make a pepper or salt mill is so intimidating to a beginner. The way you showed all the steps answers so many questions. Great teaching, thanks so much.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks

[@melloncoliee]

Congratulations to your son and his missus!! I hope the wedding goes awesomely 🩷

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Me too! Thank you very much!

[@nancybrennemann2203]

Poured my first designer epoxy forms. Slowest hardening epoxy I have used but the blanks look real good. Who doesn’t need more sandpaper! Mills look great. Thanks for the link to the hardware! Congrats to your family on the wedding of your son!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes, it takes a little planning, but the results are very good. Thanks

[@sarahday5861]

I really like the orange one. And the white & black on the tops is a great idea. Yay! for the wedding.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@vickiestevens1699]

Thanks for showing us the nasty. I love these. I’d be proud to have them sitting on my table. So pretty. 💕

[@SpragueWoodturning]

You are so welcome!

[@dkokel]

The salt and pepper mills are beautiful. I'll bet they become family heirlooms.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@jackthompson5092]

Absolutely beautiful salt and pepper mills Jim using burls, designer epoxy and sandpaper.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you kindly

[@DavidKing-py9dt]

My wife saw me watching and now she wants a set oh-boy. They are realy beautiful. Great job as always. Designer epoxy sandpaper

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@frankashworth5961]

Congratulations on the additional expansion of your family, Jim.🎉

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@MrDerekIllman]

They may not be the most profitable, but the mills are really cool looking. Thank you for making things that aren't your favorite so that we get to see these beautiful projects! Also, have a wonderful time at the wedding and congratulations to your son and daughter in law!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad you like them! Thank you so much!

[@bennycolburn1341]

I never thought salt and pepper shakers could look so good

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@elliefranklin1908]

They will be treasured by your family and friends. Lovely work. Congratulations to your son and daughter in law. Hope you can get rested after your busy wedding week.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I hope so too, lol. Thanks

[@andreamassari9099]

Great turning! Congratulations on your son's wedding! 🎉 And don't worry about the giveaway. It's family time! ☺️

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@LaurentDumoulin-wy9dh]

Hi Jim, I have to say, these S&P Mills are absolutely fantastic. Just lovely. How does the saying go, "The things you do for your friends and family". 😂 Thanks for sharing your life experience and tips. Congratulations on the addition to your family and all the best to your son and his future wife. Designer Epoxy sandpaper

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@mindcraftyD13]

Even if you don't enjoy mills as much as other work, you still make them beautiful. The striking contrast with the inlays to the resin sets all came out so well. sandpaper

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@lindasnow3960]

Fortunate friends and family. To get your art work. They're treasures

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

For something you don't like to do, you sure make those look beautiful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

[@JessieInJapan]

I know you hate them but I can't get enough of your mills.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks again!

[@daletprescott5199]

You can handle making peppermills even though you don't like to. Great job my man

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@PHIL_S]

I really like the salt and pepper mill combos - I'm amazed at your ability to make duplicates without a duplicator - Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@margiecarter8651]

First time seeing salt and pepper mills made and assembled. They look fantastic!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kehotto1]

These mills came out beautifully, your family will be surprised!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@juliebarker1531]

I've never really been drawn to pepper mills but gosh these are beautiful

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@scottbeilsmith4261]

Totally understand the repetitive work. After Halloween I begin making snowmen for Christmas. On an average of about 250 to 300 in various sizes. Have been doing this for about 18 years. Great video 👍 Jim. Thanks for sharing.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Not a chance, lol. Thank you very much!

[@valeriebeasley2011]

Amazing how you can make something so beautiful from a chunk of wood and some sticky resin. Whether you think so or not, your mills ARE pieces of art. Hope you survive the wedding and all it entails. Here's hoping for sunshine. Cheers from Wasaga Beach Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! Been to the beach there way back in 93, lol.

[@jerrylindberg5583]

These turned out beautifully. The family will love them. Peppermills are great projects. I enjoy turning them, but understand the repetitiveness can be boring. I find the effort worth it when friends and family get them as gifts. Congrats on 100k and the addition to your family.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@fredmintun]

Great tutorial. I need to turn a set soon. Thanks Designer Epoxy Sandpaper

[@normagene514]

Designer epoxy. Sandpaper. Wow… that was quite the production line. I’m sure they will be very very pleased to get such a beautiful gift. So next wk we won’t be seeing you turning while wearing a tux. 😊

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I’ll be sure to wear my cummerbund too 😜😜 thanks!

[@sg2squared]

Love the pepper and salt mill sets but can easily see how they could become a chore. I love the resin ones, especially the red / orange set but my absolute favourite is the wooden set for your son. I just love that cherry. I definitely think the price needs to be reflective and cost of everything has gone up so people should expect crafters to also increase prices. It always amazes me how people will happily spend a lot for shop bought things made in big factories but seem to expect to pay less for handcrafted individual pieces. Maybe that's just here or my experience. Hope the wedding goes well and the weather is kind. Many congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law. And I hope you get time to enjoy it. Thanks as always for sharing your awesome talent with us. Stay safe. Sarah x

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciamay638]

Thanks Jim. This was a refreshing break from......bowls, bowls and more bowls.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Cat_Lover365]

Jim, I always get a giggle and a grin by some of what you say in your commentary! 😂 I know you may not enjoy making the S&P sets but the quality, detailed attention and love shown speaks differently. ❤ I think the Walnut pepper mills with the inlay were a good idea your friend had as it made them look very classy! Keep on turning my friend. Congrats on gaining a new member to the family! 😊

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@shawndavis7862]

Love this video. Like some if the other folks who have commented, I am not a woodworker, I just find you very relaxing to watch, and I usually learn something. Did not realize about the ceramic for the salt mills. Thank you for sharing. Good luck with your busy week! Blessings to the happy couple.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I totally agree! Thanks

[@rickgibson7876]

sandpaper. Like the video, it reminded me I have 10 pepper mill kits I got about a year ago whed William Woodwrite had them on sale for around $10 each. I got into woodwork after I retired . Bought a small lathe after I ran across Jim Shavers website 'pens for Canadian peacekeepers'. Made and donated over 100 pens didn't have an engraver then so they were'nt engraved like the one I sent you. A letter of encouragement went with each pen. Best thank you was from a major who said he had used my pen that morning to sign the orders to bring his guys home. Still do some flatwork but turning is much more enjoyable.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I need to find that pen, it’s somewhere in my messy workshop so I can show it on the channel! I put it aside so I could show it and can’t find it, lol. I think it’s an age thing! Thanks
