Title: Salt & Pepper Shakers
Post by: countryscroller on July 21, 2013, 08:38:13 am
Here is the newest kitchen video. They are not functional, but could easily be made functionally with some little changes. Thanks for looking.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEwNwqm16o0&feature=c4-overview&list=UULAxz24dFceU8bIyUf_SQDw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEwNwqm16o0&feature=c4-overview&list=UULAxz24dFceU8bIyUf_SQDw)

Thanks all. I really am glad you guys like the videos. Some seem to get a little long and drag on, but I try to get all the details on the project I am showing in each video. Think of it as an actual tv episode. Usually 20 minutes and comes once a week.

It's been said a speech or Video is like a women dress, it should be long enough to cover the subject and short enough to keep you interested.

I enjoy the video's because I walk away learning something. You are never too old to learn. My Dad told me once, " the smartest man in the world is not the man who has all the answers, but the man who knows where to find all the answers."

Nice job boys.

Did you think about putting rubber plugs in the bottom so they could be refilled?

Dustin, I just watched your video and enjoyed seeing how you made your salt and pepper shakers.
I don't mean to show off but, I made some shakers a few years ago and thought I would show you and others how I did it and show that there is more than one way to "skin a cat".
I guess that the real problem with mine is that you need a drill press and a 3/4" forstner drill bit and, I cheated and used a table saw to begin with but, it could be done with a scrollsaw also. I also started with some 1-1/2" stock but, I also did a glue up of some 3/4" wood and even stacked up some plywood for one set.

In this set of construction pictures I used maple blocks.

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z299/rapidroger/2010%20WWA%20Contest/BlocksofmapleIMG_0678.jpg) (http://s193.photobucket.com/user/rapidroger/media/2010%20WWA%20Contest/BlocksofmapleIMG_0678.jpg.html)

I lopped off one end about 1/4"  and then drilled the 3/4" hole in the main body and a 1/4" or 3/8" hole in the base for a cork plug. Oh yea, I also drilled a 3/4" recess in the bottom for plug clearance so that they would set flat on the table.

I also drilled the holes in the top of the of the main body for the S&P. (very clever don't you think?  ;D)

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z299/rapidroger/2010%20WWA%20Contest/DrilltopholesIMG_0680.jpg) (http://s193.photobucket.com/user/rapidroger/media/2010%20WWA%20Contest/DrilltopholesIMG_0680.jpg.html)


Re-glued the bottom back on to make the whole thing one piece again.

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z299/rapidroger/2010%20WWA%20Contest/IMG_0681.jpg) (http://s193.photobucket.com/user/rapidroger/media/2010%20WWA%20Contest/IMG_0681.jpg.html)

Printed out the patterns that I had drawn ahead of time. Note that it takes two copies to make a 3D pattern and you have to save the drop and re tape it on the blank after the cut so you can see where you have to cut the other two sides.

Once the Salt and pepper shakers are totally cut out, just sand and finish, fill with salt (or pepper) install the cork and you are good to go!  ;)

As I said, I don't want to steal your thunder but, I think it is nice to see different ways of doing things and ideas from other people.
Here are some of the other designs that I came up with.

Oriental using zebra wood. (note that it is laminated from two 3/4" pieces)


Hope that this gives you and others some ideas and different things to try. As I always say there are a lot of ways to do things and nobody knows the "RIGHT" way to do any of them.  ;)

Wow Rog! That is a heck of an idea there. I don't have any forstner bits, just hole saw bits. And Ray, I got a message from a guy that does tattoos and he has these cap things he uses. He offered to give me some to to put on the bottom to refill. For the sole purpose of decoration, I am not going to worry about it for these, but in the future, I may make some nice ones like Rog has here and make them usefull.

Haha no I'm not actually. He does woodworking. He used to do tattoos. He messaged me on youtube asking if I needed those caps. Go check out his channel-> http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1F_UIL3kbyKnxSf5HFCw9w (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1F_UIL3kbyKnxSf5HFCw9w)
