Popular Post Gixxerjoe04 Posted March 20, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Turned this peppermill this weekend, 2nd one I’ve done, this one went a lot better than my first after watching a demo and learning some tricks. Thought about doing a journal when I make my next one, plan on making a decent amount to sell at shows this year. Seems like the hardest part is trying to find a design that looks good and doesn’t look like a wiener haha. Didn’t see the project showcase spot anymore so figured this would be a good spot. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people make turning nice stuff look easy, but turning spindle work or something like bottle stoppers, easy to go from square block to looks like a wiener looking real fast on accident haha, might sell better since.. well n/m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your thinking about this the wrong way. Your making something that is functional but will have people grabbing wieners all the time . Some people might notice but will never say anything out of embarrassment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that just become a game to see how falic you can make it look, before someone says something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny. My ceramics teacher said if you make something to smoke out of, I will add it to my extensive collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 My shop teacher said no weapons & no pipes. So one weekend before Christmas break I made about 50 little walnut pipes out of scrap. Tied a red ribbon around them and was giving them to all of my fellow hippies ( it was the 70's). By the end of the day at least half of them had been confiscated, idiots couldn't be discreet. Still had a few for years until my dog decided to chew them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about making some pipes, I'm sure they'd sell just not sure about a finish choice for someone to be sucking on, of course they're inhaling smoke so they might not be concerned about that.

wdwerker Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Lemon oil or mineral oil is what I would use. I had a bottle of lemon oil furniture polish that I used back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 The first thing I ever turned was a wiener. Years later I used a lathe for the first time. Nice peppermill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
