Woodturning – These Snow People Deliver Salt and Pepper
In case of difficulty, this video is also posted on YouTube (Click Here) and FaceBook.
For this project, I am crossing the concept of a salt urn with the seasonal concept of an ornament. A salt urn differs from a usual salt shaker in that it does not need to be turned upside down to dispense salt; there is not cap to remove to fill with salt; salt enters through the same hole that it comes out from. When stationary, no salt is dispensed.
Why not make a snowman into a salt urn and a pepper urn? The inner guts are the same – the visual difference is the exterior.
The inner guts are shaped like a volcano on the outside with a funnel shape on the opposite side. This then is glued into the exterior shape. The salt or pepper forms a ring around the volcano until shaken. When shaken, some salt or pepper flies up the volcano and falls out to season the food.

Love these little guys!
And great that you didn’t edit out the problem – it’s handy to see it happens to the experienced guys,too!
Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge

Some of the best demos I’ve seen are when there was a problem that had to be solved.
Wood is a highly variable media.
