Measuring spoon kit

[Frajeelay]

So I will be attempting to return to turning with a Measuring Spoon set for my wife. Is Penn State still a good place for these types of things or does anyone have a preferred vendor that they use?

 

[Mike Davis]

Here's one I made...

Exactly one tablespoon.

oh I like that... you didn't go the kit route...I dig it. Do you think it would be feasible to make a set like that of different sizes that would fit in a standard kitchen drawer? This will be to replace a cheap set we've had for while now... the plastic handle kind on a key ring.

Thanks, I hate kits.

you can make smaller spoons but why not make an exquisite set and a nice hanger for the wall or a cabinet door?

Hadn't even thought of it to be honest... think I need to work on my creativity

 

[Mike Davis]

Oh, and you could still turn the handle.

I'll run some ideas by her, see what she thinks. I appreciate the pictures, they are really nice...
As an aside, do you use "regular" turning tools or carbide? It's been a long while since I turned last and just bought some Easy turning tools but they felt awkward - maybe just more practice... this is probably a question for another thread maybe

 

[Mike Davis]

Easy turning tools are not. They are scrapers.

 

[Frajeelay]

Ok, glad it wasn't 100% me being bad Just felt like I couldn't get the hang of it and kept going back to my other tools

I have not turned a pen or stopper in a while, but I used to get my kits from www.woodturningz.com.

I'm not sure if I have been there before - it sounds familiar but it's been awhile. I'll definitely pay a visit, thanks
