Great little project, tried it out today for myself. I adjusted the design and made the base flared,clumsy people in my house ,LOL. Thanks for the idea,keep em coming Jon
If you used an inch and 3/8 to drill the hole for the top and 1 3/8 to drill out the center for the toothpicks what did the lid rest on? It sounds like you didn’t leave a lip for the top to sit on and it would have to rest on the toothpicks. Did you use a smaller forstners bit to drill for the toothpicks?
Nice project and loved the wood. Only thing I would do is provide more dimensions. You started with what seemed a very large piece of wood one would think that as we don't have measurements. The final product doesn't look that big. It would help but thanks for the video.....also consider showing shots of what your doing the camera appears only in 1 location.
Good job! When I see these I always wonder how many people pull up too far and spill the toothpicks all over? What do you think of a dowel inserted into the side that would limit the upward movement of the inside assembly?
spaltting is caused by fungus spores and in no way ,shape or form be associated with foods, the spores can infect the cocktail sticks and I think you should assure the veiwers that you were wearing a dust mask @15:6 , the fungal spores can damage your lungs.So Jon stay safe,,. Regards Alf
Jon, nice tooth pick holder, I hope i am not raining on your prayed, but on 16:38 you had a little catch on cleaning the bottom of the artcle it happened because you used your left hand in a death grip pose on the tool and not knowing that you pulled back the tool as it was trying to cut that's why you had that catch. If you are right handed like me when doing that kind of continuous cut it's best that you hold your left hand on the top just with fingers avoiding the toll jumping up and back at you without exerting any pressure or pulling the tool back, with your right hand gliding the bevel let the cutting edge do it's job by your wrist twisting and turning it to the left while moving towards the center of your curve. Hopefully this will aid you in the future. Don't worry it took ma long time and frustration until I figured what I was doing right and learned the right way. Left hand is only a support not exerting and force. Also, at 17:03 I noticed that you have a hard grip on the tool, extend your point finger and the middle finger and rest it on the tool handle with the pinky and the second wrapping around the bottom and thumb on the top this will allow you to rotate the tool either way easily. Best of luck.
Perhaps, but I find those kinds of catches are more often due to having the flute too open. Rolling the tool clockwise before engaging the wood makes a smaller cutting edge and minimizes/eliminates catches.
I love that toothpick holder! I can't wait to make one! Thank you!!!
Magnifique idée originale pour l'apéritif ou autres ! Nice job, congratulation ! Jean-Luc
Really cool project! Don't see too many toothpick holders done. Nice change of pace!

you can get the dimensions from issue 182 of wood magazine
The wood is actually Ambrosia Maple.
Nice...very nicely done...! New subscriber
Cool system

Jon, towards the beginning, it looks like you have a tan, long sleeve smock on. If I am right, could you tell me where you got it from. Thanks.

Nice project. Thank you. If I may, you should be shutting lathe off when making adjustments. Your fingers come dangerously close!
