My First Shop Made Rolling Pin
My daughter in law collects rolling pins. I didn't want her collection to be void of a version from my shop.
This pin was turned from maple with walnut handles. I got the hardware from Woodcraft and the wood from my vast pile.
It was a fun project and I simply followed the instructions that Woodcraft provided with the hardware kit.
I bought the brad point bit they suggested and it was well worth the $ to get a hole bored straight through the pin.
Take your time finding the center of the blank and this project will go smoothly.

| Why is getting them to look the same so hard! |

| All assembled. Stainless shaft and sealed bearings |
Enjoy and comment,
