​I made another pizza dough roller,  as a gift this time, the Celtic knot is much better. I used Coco Bolo, (at least I think it was) and maple. I used nylon spacers as bearings and used an old cheese cutter for the handle assembly. The one I made for myself really works good

Hey Ron, first off, way cool looking, and secondly, why is it slanted like that?

​I had a plastic pizza dough roller for many years, until it just fell apart. It too was slanted. I think the main purpose of the slanting is that it allows you to roll the dough to the rim of round pans easier. A straight one would leave gaps.

Makes perfect sense! Thanks for the lesson!

Knice Knot!

nice work on the roller Ron. The wood doesn't look like cocobolo to me it looks more like Jobillo or Mora but with a picture on a PC it can be difficult to tell.

The wood came from my scrap and it has a deep red and purple mixture. Kinda threw me. I thought it had just oxidized and would change color when I cut, but it didn't.

Nice~!!

 

You going to be eating a lot of pizza then eh?  Need some beers.

Very Nice Ron!!! I love the colors.

I have been making pizzas for more than 40 years, starting with Chef Boyardee  I kept perfecting it till I got it right. Each one of those pizzas was taste tested, eaten and washed down with beer   (even when they didn't turn out to good.)
