Any of you spinny guys want to help me with a project?

[Rennie Heuer]

I've gotten another order for my bagel stands. The customer wants me to supply some 'fake' bagels that can slip on the stand near the end of the day so the last few bagels don't look like lonely leftovers siting at the bottom of the stands.

Single piece 6" tall 4" in diameter with a 5/8" hole down the center made to look like 4 bagels. I need 5 now but there will be a need for 15 more should they like how they turn out. Then, as the continue to open their stores (2 or 3 per year) there will be a need for an additional 5 for each store.

I'm thinking something very light like basswood maybe?

Ask questions here or PM me - I'm a paying customer!

Light would probably be good, but something treated with mineral oil and can be sanitized also to be food safe I'd assume too. Unless these go below the bagels, then weight may not be an issue.

They will go below the bagels. I will likely use a cutting board treatment as a finish. They do need to be food safe

I would make em out of bass wood and finish with mineral oil.

Mable make em on the cnc. Darren you could do then easily.

I'd make them as 4 bagels, different woods, then glue together. Easier to sand the bottom of the bead.

Good ideas - Both! (Except the customer wants them as a single unit, but that does not mean they can't be glued together after turning.)

Still no takers?

Shipping cross border would be too spendy.

You have the basswood?

Nope, but I can get some.

I have some advanced students that could turn those for you for the price of postage and you supply the wood. I'll send it back to you for you to finish to your desire if that is okay.

That is perfect! I'll pick up the wood next week and ship it to you, I'll need to glue up 8/4 stock to get the 4" square blanks. How long do you want them? I need a 6" tall finished product.

 

[Jonathan Shively]

Anywhere from 8-10" will work. Sending my snail mail via pm.

I would do em on my CNC but it is still way to hot in my shop to run it. As for bass wood my lumber supplier har 8/4 Bass wood for $3.95 a board foot. Rennie check you supplier just to be sure.

Probably go with that.
