From an Antique Salt Cellar, My Version?

From an Antique Salt Cellar, My Version?If I can find the original picture I used for this project I will post it . It was or is called a salt locker or something like that but I never heard of one so we keep chocolate candy it it.I made the lids swivel to get inside and the original picture only had one lid so they were the lift off type so I had to drill a hole in the pole from one end to the other, so that called for me to construct a fixture for the wood lathe and use the metal rod for the swivel end of what you see so that plus a few other things caused lots of labor before i got what I wanted. Lots of small bits were used with the Dremel with the flexible shaft.
This turned out better than I had planned before I started for there lots of unknowns involved. I used just clear lacquer for I had some filler in a few places and did not know how the filler would stain out so I took the easy way out this time..

Mulberry & Walnut Lidded Box

Furnished content.

Mulberry & Walnut Lidded BoxMulberry and Walnut lidded box … about 3” tall and 2” in diameter, finished with Tried & True Original.This is actually an practice piece for a new end-grain hollower I put together. The cutter for the tool is actually a 3/8” 2 flute HSS ball nose double end mill ($6.25 + S&H on Amazon). I drilled a 3/8” hole in a piece of 12” long, 5/8” rod from the big box, drilled & tapped for a set screw. I use in one of my 5/8” handles.This tool can be very aggressive (mother of all catches!), but can also produce finish cuts that require little or no sanding. It is for end-grain ONLY, and would be deadly on side-grain turnings.

Ash Bathroom Vanity Base

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Ash Bathroom Vanity BaseThis was the final piece of furniture as I furnished my custom sauna suite. Check out this video for a quick tour of the sauna suite. You can see more about the sauna suite build by checking out my blog entitled, “Furnishing a Sauna Suite.”There's nothing fancy about this vanity. This piece basically supports the marble counter top and sink I bought from Menards. It's a clean, post frame and panel construction made of ash solid wood and birch plywood for the panel inserts. It's a similar style to the benches I built for my shower/changing room. I didn't mess with drawers or shelves. We'll add a small set of plastic drawers and store them inside the cabinet. I finished it with three coats of satin Marine varnish.
