Revealing The Mysteries Of Turned Volcano Salt Urn
This video is best viewed right here on this page. In case of media failure, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.
This project is a volcano salt urn. These are unique in that there is no cap, lid, or trapdoor through which to add salt. Nor are there holes in the top to shake out salt.
There are always two questions: How to add salt? and, How to salt my food? Let’s answer these questions in this video.
Meanwhile, the style, size, and shape of the salt urn are up to the creator. As long as the inside is not larger than the outside, we’re golden.
The only requirement is to turn the bottom funnel part to fit the decorative shell.
The drill bits referred to are “Center Drills” such as in this link:

Enjoy.

Nice project enjoyed the video thanks
You are most welcome Charley.

Alan,
How much salt does one of these hold? Do you only fill to the top of the funnel?
Salt must stay below the top of the interior volcano except when you are shaking it.
How much depends of the interior diameter of your chamber, height of your volcano, shape of the volcano.
Make one. These are fun. No need for long term storage of a lot of salt.

Great idea Alan, and very clever beside. The video is excellent, and the exlanation very cogent and clear. A question though, is the volcano hole the same size for the pepper? Looking at my pepper the particles seem larger than salt particles.
Definitely, I would go one or two sizes bigger depending on how fine your pepper is ground.
I suggest you experiment on a piece of scrap.
