Pattern Requests. / Re: Salt and Pepper Shaker Patterns

Thanks!!  That does help.  Really appreciate it.  When things settle a bit around here, I will give it a shot again using your instructions.  I do have corel draw, and tried with that a couple times...  But things seem to get crazy around here when I sit at the computer trying to do something.  Not to mention my youngest son and I are working on his Pinewood Derby Car for Cub Scouts..  But that's part of parenthood....  Thanks again, I really do appreciate the help!!

Thanks for the replies!!  Here is a picture of the ones I have made from the pattern in the SSW magazine....  I too use plywood to make some things.  I think it makes some pieces more interesting.  Spirithorse, I will check out that link, thanks!!!  Rapid Roger, those shakers are awesome!!  Would you be will to share one of the patterns?
Thanks,
Preston

Pattern Requests. / Salt and Pepper Shaker Patterns

« on: January 23, 2017, 10:13:30 am »

I recently received the new Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts Magazine... In the mag, there was a pattern for Salt and Pepper Shakers..  I have made a few sets of them and really enjoyed doing so.  I was wondering if some one may have some patterns of different style shakers.. I have done a google search and haven't found any.  I have tried to make my own, but that hasn't quite panned out...  Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Hi Tocaone , thanks for the comment on the box..  I am not familiar with mirror coats.  I use Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane Clear Gloss. I put multiple coats, sanding between each coat with a 220 or finer grit paper.  Then before the final coat I use 0000 steel wool..  After that, if I can see my reflection almost good enough to shave or better, I am happy  !!

My wife was on Facebook the other day and saw this picture.  She would like for me to make one of these for her Aunt.  Does anyone know if there is a pattern available for this??

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!!  I try to make a variety of different things.  I am the one who made the box for a friend, that Steve shared on the blog back on Sept 20th..
