Easy Woodturning Project that Sells: Walnut Salt and Pepper Shakers

- Walnut salt and pepper shakers are one of the best-selling products in my Etsy shop. Best of all is these shakers only take around 15 minutes to make from start to finish.
I start off with 8/4 walnut cut down to approximately 3 1/2 inches tall. The centers are drilled out with a 1 1/8" and 9/16" forsner bits.
The shakers are then turned round and finished off with homemade wood butter which is made from beeswax and food-grade mineral oil. The stoppers in the bottom are from Amazon I buy them in packs of 100.

What are the sizes of these two bits of walnut I get 3 1/2 length what is the square sides I’m guessing 2”
I make these out of 8/4 walnut so you're exactly right!
Buenisimos, 👍👍👍
Hey, just found your channel. Very good video. Can you make a video on the essential woodworking tools needed to start making/selling projects? I want to get a list going and an order of what I need to buy things in
Thanks Adam! I have a video in the works on the tools I use in my shop but it’s going to vary so much shop to shop depending on what you want to make. I started out with a circular saw, miter saw, drill, and sander. As I started building more projects I started adding more tools as needed. I think that’s always a good way to go so you don’t end up with a bunch of tools that you don’t need.
Nice job, if I had the smaller 4 jaw I'd be making these by the truck laods.
Thanks! They sell really well and are quick to make.
Curious what size bits for the top holes? Thank you for posting!
every salt and pepper shaker (store bought) in my home has 5/64 holes drilled in them.. more holes for pepper obviously
Where do you buy the bottom stoppers?
Amazon
Boring shape. So mid-century. Where’s the creativity? BTW never use a cutter close to the Chuck. Always have a sacrificial piece of wood between the Chuck and the work to ensure no contact.
Thanks for watching!
