The Woodshop Shed

Handle and Little Cup

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


The handle ( extension) was made for my Foley Food Mill. I use that mill on a medium sized bowl when making applesauce and it hangs over such a short amount that the end of the metal handle digs into the palm of my hand after hundreds of cranks. This extension allow for a comfortable grip on the mill. It is made from 2 pieces of cherry wood and carved out to fit the metal handle very closely..and then epoxied on. It is finished with Danish oil and buffed and waxed.The little cup was a rescue from the scrap wood going in the wood furnace. It was a mesquite cut off and thrown away because it had a crack in it. I turned away most of the cracked part but a little of it got in the game and chipped off the base so I had to turn the base smaller than it was planned. It is 2 1/4” x 2 1/4” high and finished with EEE and Shellawax. McKinlee will get it to play with on Thursday.Cheers, Jim
