The tea lids

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

Just about to wrap up on the first of these. I did several several searches with different phrases and eventually found some quotes that I thought would work. Some of the lids have knobs and some don't so I wrote two versions of each quote for the engraver. These have two coats of spray can shellac on them. They'll get sanded and finish coated in the morning.

"Sereni-tea" for a lid with a knob. Liked this quote when I found it.

"Sereni-tea" for a lid with no knob.

This one I made up. Can't see it because of the knob but the last word at the top is "me" Wife liked this one too.

21 of them starters, actually did four more but didn't have metal lids for them. They'll go in the kitty for next batch if there is a next batch.

 

Also did 25 honey dipper lids. I came up with a new look for the knobs on a few of them.

If you notice there is a little "tail" at some of the intersections on the honeycomb. I was also getting that on my lettering. Replaced the belts on the Y axis and that fixed it. The belts didn't appear to be worn but apparently they were.

Love the comb on the knob. Looks like all the lasering is working very well.

Very nice Steve.  I like the variety of lids.  People like to see a choice.

Thanks to you all! Very grateful for such nice comments.

Holy cow you have been busy. Very nice Steve. Are they made to fit mason jars?

The honey dipper lids fit a regular pint mason jar. The tea jar lids look like a mason jar thread but are slightly smaller and I believe with true mason jars there are only two sizes, regular and large. The regular mason lids are about 2-7/8" ID and the tea jar lids are about 2-3/8" ID The gift shop provides the metal lids I use.
