Not only is this a great video, but your voice is like one of my favorite actors, Jimmy Stewart, teaching me a woodworking/turning class. THANK YOU, Mr. Watkins. :)
Thanks for the video. I showed it to my daughter and daughter-in-law and they both want one. It’s up to the shop this afternoon to start work on them. I also just subscribed. Thanks again.
Great work. Great idea to make the holder for the Rolling Pin. The only improvement that I see, is to make the with a similar pattern like the Rolling Pin. Keep up the Great Work.
Dave, I remember asking you how to do the hidden drawer and you wouldn't tell me as you said it would cut into your profit making. I saw a clip by Alex of Bandsaw Life that he shows us how to do it. Sorry you felt you couldn't help a fellow woodworker.
My wife requested that the outside of the Rolling pin be wider. This is to aid in the dough once rolled out is even as opposed to flatter on the edges.
Wow! Great Video Mr. Watkins! Easy to follow instructions with several VERY helpful tips. I'm going to make several per your excellent tutorial. You're a GREAT Turner! Have A Super Blessed Week!.....Gus
Great vid, please use a push stick, I cringed every time you angle cut the blank. That left thumb....was definitely in jeopardy. What is the dimensions of the blank ? Great work!!
I had another request for info on the fixture some time ago and I sent the fellow some pictures. I can't do that here so if you will email me at designerwoods@gmail.com, I will send them to you.
Hi Jack I didn't make the jig myself. It was made by the good friend that showed me how to make the rolling pins. But I think I can show you how to make one. It is made from a piece of 3/4" MDF, with a piece of oak cut to fit the miter slot in your table saw attached to the bottom of the jig. This will keep the jig parallel to the saw blade. The notch in the MDF is cut at a 90 degree angle. Then the board to fit the miter slot as attached to the bottom at an angle that will determine the length of your cut across the block. The sharper the angle, the shorter the cut will be. On my jig, the board is attached at a 72 degree angle. Make the handle big enough so you can hold the jig securely and have room to clamp the block to the jig. Good luck Dave PS - Send me your e-mail and I'll send you some pictures that may help you see how the jig is put together.
When you can’t tilt your blade to make angle cut to trim corners of work piece for turning or simply don’t want to take time to do so a simple sled can be made to support the work piece. Take a leinght
Sorry sent before completed. Take a piece of material of suitable length and width and make a saw kerf 1/8” deep in the exact center lengthwise of the material. Take two boards of equal with and glue them to the edges parallel to the center kerf of the first board. Note: these two boards must be of proper height so that when you place your stock to trim in it, placing a corner in the saw kerf the adjacent side will both be in contact. This will hold the stock at a 45 degree angle in relation to your saw table. Place a stop at the end of the sled
Further reply. You only need to use this sled for the first cut. After that you have a flat reference for the balance of the cuts. Another alternate to this sled is to make a v block sled.
I gotta say, you made a wonderful video here. So, did you check out Woody Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible yet? Lemme know, search for it on google, cheers!

Great tutorial! I like the use of the contour gauge to match the handles--never thought of that!
Thanks for the comment Randy. Always good when I can help someone.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge! Great video
I liked this...and every time you spoke I could swear I was hearing just a little bit of Jimmie Stewart!
I've never been accused of sounding like Jimmie Stewart, but I guess that's a good thing , right. Thanks for the comment. Dave
@@designerwoods Absolutely sir!
Well that's pretty cool. I'm going to have to try that. I never thought to rip the blank at an angle. Thanks for sharing!
sfosnot85 Give it a try, they are a lot of fun.
Wow! Great Video Mr. Watkins! Easy to follow instructions with several VERY helpful tips. I'm going to make several per your excellent tutorial. You're a GREAT Turner! Have A Super Blessed Week!.....Gus
TheWoodWerker Thanks for the comment. You'll enjoy making them and they make great gifts.
Great video Dave! Thanks for the tutorial, I'll give it a shot!
Great job and great video. Thanks.
Very clever Mr. Watkins. Thanks for sharing.
+EDDY TAYLOR - You're welcome Eddy. Give it a try, they make great gifts.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great vid, please use a push stick, I cringed every time you angle cut the blank. That left thumb....was definitely in jeopardy. What is the dimensions of the blank ? Great work!!
+Keo's Best Thanks for watching out for me. I make the blank 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" by about 20".
Great video!
Very nice...
Thanks for share...
I think your name is really Jimmy Stewart. This made my day.
Thanks for the comment. You just made my day too.
ola amigo seus itens sao todos muito lindos estou aprendendo varias tequinicas que nao conhecia seu trablho e top
Some of the words in your message didn't translate so I'm not sure I got everything, but I'm glad you like my work. Thank you
Great video
Do you have a solution where the handles are not connected to the pn? This way the pin rolls while the handle stays fixed in your hand.
How would you make a RB where the handles roll/not attached to the main bin?
Thanks for sharing. Incredible effect and great job. Regards from Poland
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Dave
sounds like Jimmy Stewart. :)
Nice ideas but please use a push stick - your fingers may thank you.
great video on rolling pins do you have plans for the angle jig would love to make and use it thank you
Too cool
What is the size of your sled for cutting the x rolling pin also the angle
I had another request for info on the fixture some time ago and I sent the fellow some pictures. I can't do that here so if you will email me at designerwoods@gmail.com, I will send them to you.
Awesome pins. How do you build the jig for the angled cuts? I’m excited to build some of these out of my scrap bin. Thank you and God bless you sir.

Can you use a rolling pin where you have glued numerous pieces of wood, or are they just for decoration?
I've given them to all the ladies in my family and they use the regularly. They work great.
Thanks for asking
Dave
In the 6 years since this video, how many fingers do you have left?
10
@@designerwoods good to know lol
very nice
Thanks
So what are the dimensions? 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x how long? and what's the finished diameter of the pin in the end? Thank you
Depending on the wood I have, I make the diameter 2 1/2" to 3". The overall length is 19 to 20" And the roller part at about 13"

@@Sillyturner Thanks for your comment Carl. I have never thought about that. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks again

Great craftsmanship, but I winced at 7:10. I think I'll be using a push stick for the sake of my fingers!
The video makes it look closer than it really is, but your right I need to use a push stick. Thanks for the comment.
Тот случай,когда не жалко имеющую цену материал пустить на простую скалку!
I gotta say, you made a wonderful video here. So, did you check out Woody Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible yet? Lemme know, search for it on google, cheers!
Any thing that links to Ted McGrath's site is always a no for me. Irritating!!

What is the angle of cut for the contrasting color?
