How To Make Your Own Stone Pestle And Mortar (It’s Surprisingly Easy!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Useful in the kitchen, and as beautiful as the stones you choose - how could you not want one of these? (I suspect they may make excellent chistmas presents too.)
It would be easy to make a deeper hollow than I made - but I really don’t think it was necessary. Plus, it’s easier to clean when it’s shallow.
Yes, this is a big heavy one - but if you want, just choose smaller stones. (Sorry, was that a bit obvious? But you wouldn’t believe some of the comments we get on our videos…)

Don’t steal our stuff!
Not sure which is more beautiful, the stones or your narration!
Yeah!!! true
I can't express how lovely you two are. This is excellent, I'm excited to make one with some of the river stones I have nearby, thank you for making me happy with your video!
So this is how they made in the stone age
angle grinders were a bit more common back then. Every tribesman received one as a right of passage.

Nah, they bought them from the Viking trader Harold Bluetooth who got them from the Amazons.
Great idea Tim.
I want to go rock hunting now :-)
Cheers folks.
+RobBobs Backyard Farming Go for it, Rob!
Its nice watching someone preserving the handiwork of our neolithic forefathers. 😆
What a pretty grinder! 😍 "Batteries not included" - really made me laugh, loving your sense of humor.
Super video! Great work! Here's a salute from the US heartland.
The gift you have is that you are able to recognize potential quickly when you see it. That a lovely piece of art and a good Stone Pestle & Mortar. Thanks for sharing . Regards Patrick
That's ... a really nice idea. I didn't realize the granite would carve so easily!
I'm totally going to try this. Thanks so much!
Great video! This is a better design than the deep kitchen ones I have. I have been trying to crack hemp seeds but they keep skipping away 😂
I am going to steal this idea for a great Christmas present for a chef friend of mine, I hope he likes it.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Yer Man for the rest of your life no matter what you do,how much youll achieve,you will always be just a petty thief
Did he like it?
Extremely wholesome content
Well done Sir! This very much follows my favorite principle: KISS. Very simple and effective Tim. Great!!
I had something like this in my head, great to see it being done. I'm gonna have to give it a go too!
👌👌👏👏👏 Simply fantastic! Great idea and very well done. Looks and works fantastic. Congrats!
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
That's just awesome and amazing. It reminds me of the Japanese wood or glass ikebana vase, they use to make their unique floral arrangements. I think the Japanese arrangements would be beautiful in a rock version as well, for if remember what read about them long ago, they often prefer using natural elements in their creations. It takes a special gift to take what is considered ordinary, and transform it into the extra-ordinary...and with it, you are both imbued. :) Gretchen
+thundercloud47 Thanks Gretchen (I just love the way I learn so much everytime I put up a video) I looked up Ikebana. Very inspiring and beautiful, are they?
+WayOutWest Blowinblog , You are so welcome. Years back was looking for something on E-bay, and came across Ikebana. We live in rural Missouri, and I'd never seen anything so simple, elegant, yet have so much impact. As watching this video, I could just see your mortar and pestle in the gift shop your channel shared some time back...and not far from it, a single, similar stone, with a lovely kiebana arrangement. I'm in awe of you folks creativity and 'eye' for what could be, and...then you go and create it! Gretchen
"Do you need anything ground up?" Wow, still laughing.
Sir, you are the Stone Whisperer, the Grinder Ninja, inspired me to secure a similar corduroy vice. Thanks!
ah cool! thank you for the videos. me and my boyfriend are really enjoying them and you seem like really lovely people xx
Inspiring me to make my own purposeful art projects. Thanks :) Hope you're having a good day.
Who else wants a Mortar and Pestle for witchcraft
me
All witches lmao
Me, im too broke for one so here i am
Hah me
That's not what they were for yall wanna be fake lil witches are so annoying 😒
Very nice. A very beautiful tool you've made there.
You have such a good eye for possibilities! (Beth)
You can also use a bowl and I'm guessing a round rock or a carved round peice of wood too.
Superb demo!
Ingenious. I love it. Well done.
"Stones"...... "I have a plan." ~the beginning of civilisation.
Wow! Great idea and artwork, too!
+Anne Hartmann Thanks, Anne!
Wonderful. Loving your videos.
I watched your seaweed video and saw where you get the wonderful stones! (Beth)
I'm doing this! Beautiful work.
"batteries not included"
so where do i put the batteries?
i want to make the deep pocket variant. do i need a couple D batteries? :P
Wow! That's AWESOME!
0:08 is the most wholesome clip :^)
Awesome, I'll be making one of these for sure!
"You find anything useful?" "Stones" "mmhmm."
nice done
atb
steve
Great idea mate
Looks wonderful - a work of art indeed.
+Finola Finlay Thanks Finola - if only all art was this easy!
Nice demo. To make the mortar more stable, cut it in half, but at least hollow out the bottom slightly too.
Yes, the new ones all have more hollowed out bottoms
I love your videos. Thank you.
Loved this video! Beautiful pieces of useful art you have there but, I don't have those tools and am not near a beach. I guess I can't make this mortar and pestle :-(
Awesome!
What a beautiful pestle and mortar! Just think what that would have cost ya in the store!
+DixieGirl9876 thank you, Dixie Girl!
Wow
Love it, Another great life tip. I am working towards your way of being. Edward, Sydney Australia
+imhard 2please Thank you, Edward!
Amazing ! Blessings.
Brilliant Tim ...........batteries not included or needed😅
Thx
Great stuff!
Beautiful!
Great video
Beautiful work. If you'd like to save a ton of time you'll benefit from buying a masonry grinding disc for ~$80. Using your same grinder, this very expensive disc would gobble out your hole as fast as your cutting disc, except it'll be chomping out a huge portion instead. However, don't start getting strong with it and burn your grinder out ;)
hey tim, thanks for share with us your hobbies, but man, you should wear gloves! lol
Hi! I just wanted to tell you to be careful of silicosis, which I think is a really bad lung disease you can get by inhaling a lot of the dust from grinding rocks
That's beautiful Tim. You could sell that for €€€€ in a posh kitchen shop. And it works so well too.
+Sarah Doyle Thanks Sarah - I might even have to try that : - )
And all that rock dust makes the best fertiliser too!
Fertilizer* but cool!
cool idea. now I wish I was near the ocean!
+Monster Bass Productions (aka Kayak Musky Central)
Ah but you have great inland fishing where you are - you're lucky too : - )
Kayak Musky Central There are these things called rivers..
Nice work. Unless I missed it, probably good to wear a quality dust mask and goggles in case that rock has something like asbestos in it.
The trick is to keep it moving smooth just like beautiful European voice.
Awesome....can you do some more on the rose hive....I bought the book a year ago...I'm more of a visual person
+Heidi Wilshusen Yes - I'd love to. Next year now, though..
Mostly, we are in Indonesia still using stone for grinding spices.
This is very encouraging to try it soon, and the outcome looks quite beautiful.
I am so glad that I have already got an angle grinder.
P.S. I like your British "accent".
P.P.S.You are cute, you and your wife :o)
+Fraususemil : - )
Now that's what I mean and see as a hunter, you don't only hunt for the big game meat, be dynamic, and hunt for the bees that can provide the household with honey or hunt and find the stones that in this case will help you grind them cocoa beans...lol
Fantastic! Do you mind if I ask a question? Please don't worry if you don't have time to reply but since you guys started 'growing your own etc' have you noticed you're more healthy & with fewer ailments than maybe you used to have? I have vaccine damage which caused multiple sclerosis and other diseases & I'm going to try eating only natural ingredients for a period of time in the new year & hopefully start growing some food if I can get raised beds. I'll maybe make some from used pallet covers stacked up & filled x
+That One Song We have our aches and pains, but we're struggling on! Seriously, diet is an important part of health, but only a part. Being outside and growing the food in the first place is probably equally beneficial. Being part of the natural world and using your body for digging and weeding..
But genetic make-up trumps everything, I hear.
It's interesting that you wrote 'I'm going to try eating only natural ingredients' - makes us wonder what you eat at the moment!
Basically, there are lots of reasons for growing your own and all of them are good - Go for it! Good luck. x.
+WayOutWest Blowinblog Thanks so much for your reply. My diet is varied depending on my health to be honest & whether I'm having a good day or a bad day. I eat far too much convenience food which of course is full of additives. Aspartame is in almost everything these days, it's legalised poison. Even this weeks 'healthy food' I bought has travelled to get here. IE Grapes from California, very little fresh fruit & veg in our supermarkets are grown in the UK but is flown in. Keep up the great work guys, you are so inspiring x
Stonesssss
crushed coriander seed...
now I want curry
Can you do it without power tools?
Hey, that is great. Are you accepting commissions for custom pieces? I would be very interested. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Veek. They're just too heavy to post - that's the problem.
Yeah that makes sense, hella heavy. I have seen these made with volcanic rock too. I think I am going to give this a shot myself. Thanks again for sharing this cool video.
Hi. What kind of stone was this? Thanks.
this had never occurred to me.
Wtf if I knew I was gonna need power tools I wouldn't have clicked on this video.
how abaut if there is no electric tools to carve it.
"batteries not included"
so where do i put the batteries?
could you tell us about your kitchen floor please?
+Gamingcritter It's just shuttering ply, cut into rectangles and dyed. It was cheap but it works. (Should we make a video?)
yes please
Hahaha that was good .batteries are not included,
Ayahuasca grinder,heh heh
Thanks, the store bought mortar and pestle just didn't seem logical and didn't work well. Some power tools and a natural rock pestle should do the trick.
bru i was expecting some at home diy shit i dont have a stone cutter laying around
Why am I the one to always catch some dude with his fly down?
What a shame I was really hoping you'd show how to make one the power tools.
or just use 2 rocks
Fancy electric grinders have nothing on stone age technology.
+deezynar They make the process faster?
That dust will find it's way into your lungs, a little more dust and you'll be in deep trouble, I almost died doing the same. Never grind stone or glass without water, it also wears the diamond tool needlessly fast.
Hi Tim,
Mask?
Grinder guard?
Water?
Mask?
You're going to have a serious injury or turn your lungs into vacuum bags.
Take care
For my taste, it was way, way too fast and easy. Part of the joy in making something like this should be the time it takes, time spent thinking, meditating, wondering about all sorts of things.
Where's the accomplishment in picking up a rock and grinding a hole in it with a power tool? Anyone can do that. It requires neither talent nor patience.
Good for you, James.
(I used to do everything by hand, too, but unlike you, I need to make a living. These would be four-times the price if I'd hand-cut them all. These days I collect tools and materials and see what I can make with them.)
wow usefull for some
nuts on a icecream
What in the Peppa the Pig is going on here
Z
don't know if this is interesting to you, I guess you still run into the postage and packing problem: th-cam.com/video/wqBjiAJV3aQ/w-d-xo.html
+betabenja Wow - that's a great job. Way too heavy to post but I might have to try it for myself. Thank you!
Wear a mask
