Kerux,

This is a wonderful gesture. You were able to share your gifted woodworking skills with the mothers in your church. A wonderful idea that spread a lot of happiness and goodwill today. It is a pleasure to be able to share like this.

Nice post!!!

How nice …..and thoughtful of you …..and nice looking tops on those jars tooo …

You da man! Very considerate way to share your talent.

Looks like a fun way to spend a few hours … making the lids. Came out great

-- a legend in my own mind ...

Do the lids screw on or lay over the top of the far. If they are screwed on ? How did you do it?

okay,.....

1. I made close to 50 of them. 2. The lids screw on (trade secret) ha!

We bought 50 of them at The Flower Factory, wholesale club at .62 cents each. They all came with metal/tin screw lids. I needed these done in a 2 week period. I first thought I’d just get a forstner bit to cut out the interior. But that is expensive with a 2 1/8” hole.

So I cut up the boards 3”x3” and mounted them on the cole chuck. measured my diameter with calipers and then for depth I put a piece of tape on the tool. I did all of them that way first. Then reversed chucked them and turned the outside.

Sanded the metal lids down on top, put some Jel CA on the lid and put the lid inside the finished wood top.
