Party snack holder

What a clever ratbag, hey!
I will steal this idea for the big show in Melbourne,

I’ll be honored!
Yours will probably be PH with NGR inlay, I bet.

Its funny how such a small detail can change a project.

Not all mistakes turn out bad. We all forget the little things once in a while. I have done my share(and other peoples share) of re-designing an error out of a project.

Great little item to have around. Now that you know what it is, you need more for the party guests. haha

Great work and recovery.

well done

scrappy I am not complaining about the mistakes. I make heaps of them. And although people might think otherwise I am usually not posting them :-). I posted this one just for the idea of the thumb groove. it is actually very comfortable for carrying around, less stress on the thumb.

Only for right handed party-ers. I can see why a recent survey found that right handed people were, in general happier than left handed people.

Great idea. Better make some more. That holds about enough party snacks just for me when I come over…

Neat little piece. It goes to show that you never know 100% what you are going to end up with when you work with wood. You should make a stack of them like a set of coasters and put them next to the chips and dip at the next party.

what a clever idea you came up with great save

I have figured out as an apprentice cabinet maker its not how well you can do the job but how well you can hide the mistakes

That is cute. But now my daughter wants a set for her house.

So I guess you used a bowl bit on your router with a template? Do you really have to hog out the center with a drill first? I guess it can’t hurt.

If you also route a thumb grab on the top, it would work for lefties too.

Thanks again,

I actually just traced my thumb and free handed with a bowl bit. took 10 secs… becuase its a shallow groove its easy to control.
you don’t have to use the drill, but routing is messy… heaps of chips flying around, dust, noise….
the forstner is much faster and quieter, and also saves the load on the pretty expensive bowl bit.

I warned you this is too cute! my wife also started talking about a set.

They would be great for the kids at a party, give each one their own bowl for snacks.

BTW, daltxguy, it can be used by lefties if you hold it rotated 90 degrees clockwise

excellent!!
you can put a little slot in it as well to hold a glass

I like the thumb hold.

Maybe you can try standing on a street corner and see how many coins you collect ;)

“need money for a new drum sander?”
“would work for offcuts”?
