Nut bowl ideas...

Nah, it is easier to just buy a cup for my jock strap. Ed

You are a BAD man.... now I have that picture in my head instead of a nice bowl for pecans, walnuts, etc...Damn.

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. Dave in Fairfax

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.

Yeah, but I wouldn't eat any nuts that came out of a jock strap...

Got any wood-carving chisels?

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.

You've got mail. Dave in fairfax

Not unless you're trying to sell me penis enlargement pills. :)

Methinks I need to go check the lint trap. I don't know why it would have caught you though.

Does your girlfriend feel the same way?

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

Unfortunately, yes.
