Really haven't had much time for turning this week. 

 

I've been contemplating making one of these-

 

 I was thinking of using Maple as it is very hard and the sharp ridges should stay "crisp" with use. Still not sure if something like this would get used by today's cook. Fresh pasta seems to be something folks don't want to make.

 

Anyway, while researching ideas, I stumbled upon a turning site that has some neat ideas for for turning projects. Check out Robin's web page- http://www.turningforprofit.com/ or his Pinterest page- https://www.pinterest.com/robindalziel/

 

Woodworker's Journal has a nice article/how-to by Ernie Conover. Ernie discusses working turning into your daily life by making handy replacement and useful turned articles.

You can read the entire article here-

Finally a short video from Woodworker's Journal showing the basics for turning small handles for things like ice cream scoops, pizza cutters, etc.

 

Safe Turning!

 

Thank you Lew!
