Nut bowl ideas...
Not plans, just ideas. I'm wondering what, if anything, Wreckers have
personally done in the way of making a nut bowl. (Personally, preferably, as opposed to random web sites showcasing things no one here has ever actually made.) I'm a long way from being able to turn a bowl, and I don't even have the use of my lathe yet, so I'm thinking in other directions. I want something with holes in it for the cracker and picks, obviously, and something to hold nuts. Pretty, preferably, and it of course _has_ to be made out of walnut. Duh. :) I'd like to come up with something pretty quick like, before I eat all the nuts. :) (That's why I gain weight this time of year. I can't stay away from those damn nuts!) I'm thinking of a board with a big hole in it, with a regular plastic/glass ceramic bowl in the hole, and some kind of little raised doohickey with holes to receive the cracker. I'm also thinking that's pretty lame, and surely someone can come up with a better idea somewhere between this and turning something on a lathe. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ |

If you can live with flat surfaces, like wings rather than holes, or drill them if you have to, a winged, square bowl works nicely. I can post one to ABPW if you want. I love walnut.

If you don't have a chunk of 8/4 - 12/4 stock laying around, laminate together 2 or 3 pieces of 4/4. Trace out a 'pleasing shape' -- maybe something 'leaf' like. You can bandsaw the outside rough shape, then use a stationary belt/disk sander to remove the excess that is 'outside' the bowl. Chisel/gouge out the material that doesn't belong on the 'inside'. Make a 'tray' type piece that the bowl will sit on one side of. Gouge a _shallow_ recess at the -opposite- side, to _lay_ the nutcracker in. |

Not plans, just ideas.snip I haven't made one, because I have a pressed bamboo bowl I use for nuts. No idea how that was made. Take a section of log, with one end perfectly flat, so it'll stand straight, and steady. Hollow out the other end. Viola authentic nut bowl. Stick a stuffed squirrel on it, and it'll be perfect. Deeper the hollow, the more nuts it'll hold. You can drill holes on the edge to hold nut crackers, nut picks, etc. Bark is optional. JOAT Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. - Unknown Life just ain't life without good music. - JOAT Web Page Update 19 Dec 2003.

Shoot it to my email if you would, I don't get ABPW. Square is interesting. I never thought about square. Why does it need to be round at all? I could just build a nut box. Well, that's a long line of thought to ponder. Thanks for breaking me out of the box. You've got mail. Dave in fairfax -- reply-to doesn't work use: daveldr at att dot net |

I don't know about the lintrap, but you intercepted my shipment, give 'em back. I re-sent to both your addys, hopefully they'll go through. Do you have nut in the filter? That would do it, the trap I mean. Dave in Fairfax -- reply-to doesn't work use: daveldr at att dot net |
