0:00:00.000,0:00:01.584 Hey, I'm Bob and I like to make stuff. 0:00:01.584,0:00:03.614 Today, we're going to make a really [br]weird rolling pin. 0:00:11.084,0:00:12.781 A while back, I was looking around [br]on Pinterest, 0:00:12.781,0:00:16.231 and I ran across a picture of a rolling[br]pin made for making ravioli. 0:00:16.231,0:00:18.531 And it dawned on me at that moment that I[br]had no idea 0:00:18.531,0:00:20.741 how ravioli was made before that. 0:00:20.741,0:00:22.311 It was kind of a cool looking object 0:00:22.311,0:00:24.111 and I wasn't really sure how they were[br]put together, 0:00:24.111,0:00:25.551 so I decided to give it a shot. 0:00:25.551,0:00:28.431 I don't really have any need to make[br]ravioli, but I do like the idea 0:00:28.431,0:00:30.031 of being able to deconstruct something 0:00:30.031,0:00:31.324 and figure out how to make your own. 0:00:31.534,0:00:32.739 In fact, the more I think about it 0:00:32.739,0:00:34.115 I would actually rather have one of these 0:00:34.115,0:00:35.657 for making little dessert ravioli, 0:00:35.657,0:00:37.156 rather than real ravioli. 0:00:37.156,0:00:38.578 Alright, let's give it a shot and see[br]how it goes. 0:00:39.259,0:00:41.806 I had a couple pieces of teak and[br]a nice slab of cherry 0:00:41.806,0:00:42.788 that I wanted to use. 0:00:42.841,0:00:44.431 I ran it through the planer a[br]a couple of times 0:00:44.431,0:00:45.781 just to clean off both faces 0:00:45.781,0:00:47.543 so that they would glue together nicely. 0:00:48.516,0:00:50.236 I cut off one edge of this using the fence 0:00:50.236,0:00:51.811 and then laid that cut edge against 0:00:51.811,0:00:53.773 the fence to cut two equal strips. 0:00:54.437,0:00:55.423 Once I had both of these cut, 0:00:55.423,0:00:57.151 I used one of them as a spacer 0:00:57.151,0:00:58.849 to set up a stop block on my miter saw, 0:00:58.849,0:01:01.441 then turn the piece and cut a[br]bunch of squares. 0:01:02.346,0:01:04.024 I added quite a bit of glue to one side 0:01:04.024,0:01:04.923 of each of these pieces 0:01:04.923,0:01:06.539 and used a brush to spread it around, 0:01:06.539,0:01:09.066 trying to make sure that it covered as[br]much as possible. 0:01:09.414,0:01:11.193 I stacked all these up and put it[br]in the clamps. 0:01:12.683,0:01:13.901 While those were drying in the clamps, 0:01:13.901,0:01:15.782 I ran both of my strips over the table saw 0:01:15.782,0:01:17.465 to make sure that they were the[br]same thickness. 0:01:18.058,0:01:19.513 After a couple of hours I was pretty sure 0:01:19.513,0:01:20.342 that all the glue had dried, 0:01:20.342,0:01:21.577 so I took it out of the clamps 0:01:21.577,0:01:22.889 and then used a straight edge 0:01:22.889,0:01:24.024 going from corner to corner 0:01:24.024,0:01:25.704 on each end to find a center point. 0:01:26.874,0:01:28.456 Really quickly, I want to point out[br]a mistake 0:01:28.456,0:01:29.955 that I made so that you can avoid it. 0:01:29.955,0:01:31.735 After I glued up that block, I forgot 0:01:31.735,0:01:34.807 to scrape off the outsides and square[br]it up as a block. 0:01:34.807,0:01:36.702 In a second, I'm going to run it over[br]the table saw, 0:01:36.702,0:01:38.265 and when I did that, it actually wasn't 0:01:38.265,0:01:39.529 laying flat against the table. 0:01:39.529,0:01:41.737 At the time, it didn't seem like that big[br]of a deal, 0:01:41.737,0:01:43.192 but it actually changed the depth 0:01:43.192,0:01:45.645 of the cuts for each one of the slots[br]that I was making. 0:01:45.645,0:01:46.889 So even though it wasn't that 0:01:46.889,0:01:47.968 big of a deal at the moment, 0:01:47.968,0:01:49.771 it did have some effects down the line. 0:01:49.771,0:01:51.058 Just learn from my mistake, 0:01:51.058,0:01:52.253 square up your block before you 0:01:52.253,0:01:53.255 take it to the table saw. 0:01:53.622,0:01:54.879 I swapped out my table saw blade 0:01:54.879,0:01:56.750 for a dado stack that was the same width 0:01:56.750,0:01:58.843 as the strips that I had cut just a little[br]while ago. 0:02:00.045,0:02:02.157 I made sure that it was also set to[br]the same height. 0:02:03.921,0:02:05.679 I set the fence so this piece was centered 0:02:05.679,0:02:07.507 over the blade and then I ran it[br]through four times, 0:02:07.507,0:02:09.647 making a slot on each side of this piece. 0:02:09.967,0:02:11.227 I chucked it up in the lathe 0:02:11.227,0:02:13.159 and started tearing it down to[br]a cylinder. 0:02:14.021,0:02:14.638 While I'm doing that, 0:02:14.638,0:02:16.740 I need to thank the sponsor for this video,[br]Audible. 0:02:16.740,0:02:18.426 And I'm sure you've heard of[br]Audible before, 0:02:18.426,0:02:19.565 but if

entertained in the car 0:02:30.075,0:02:30.970 for about 3 hours, 0:02:30.970,0:02:32.799 we listened to "The BFG". 0:02:32.799,0:02:34.990 The voice acting in this is awesome, 0:02:34.990,0:02:37.062 it's one guy that does all of the[br]different giants, 0:02:37.062,0:02:38.620 it's really fantastic and I actually 0:02:38.620,0:02:40.385 like the audiobook way better than[br]the movie.

0:02:51.025,0:02:52.773 as large as I could, but also get rid 0:02:52.773,0:02:53.664 of any flat spots. 0:02:54.694,0:02:56.658 I kept checking it and taking a[br]little bit more off, 0:02:56.658,0:02:59.085 and eventually I got it down to[br]a pretty good cylinder. 0:02:59.085,0:03:00.029 I used some sandpaper 0:03:00.029,0:03:01.107 at a much slower speed 0:03:01.107,0:03:02.239 to smooth out the surface. 0:03:04.143,0:03:05.107 The edges of the slots were 0:03:05.107,0:03:06.340 a little rough too, so I just ran 0:03:06.340,0:03:07.214 over them with sandpaper 0:03:07.214,0:03:08.293 and they smoothed right up. 0:03:10.422,0:03:11.281 Back on the miter saw, 0:03:11.281,0:03:12.340 I set up a stop block 0:03:12.340,0:03:13.779 so I could slice the cylinder 0:03:13.779,0:03:14.840 down into pieces. 0:03:15.057,0:03:16.545 I set it at the same thickness 0:03:16.545,0:03:17.776 of my original material, 0:03:17.776,0:03:19.409 so basically I was cutting through 0:03:19.409,0:03:20.799 all of the glue lines when 0:03:20.799,0:03:21.885 I had made up this block. 0:03:22.580,0:03:24.948 Being a circle, this was actually pretty[br]hard to do 0:03:24.948,0:03:26.304 I was worried about it rolling, 0:03:26.304,0:03:27.213 so I used a clamp to hold it 0:03:27.213,0:03:28.253 against the back fence. 0:03:28.803,0:03:30.624 Then eventually it got to small to[br]safely hold, 0:03:30.624,0:03:31.877 so I moved to the cross-cut sled 0:03:31.877,0:03:32.667 to finish it up. 0:03:34.854,0:03:35.966 I laid out the strips and then 0:03:35.966,0:03:37.248 set all the pieces in place, 0:03:37.248,0:03:38.560 figuring out how thick they were 0:03:38.560,0:03:40.218 and how much gap I needed in[br]between them. 0:03:40.496,0:03:41.816 I marked this out on a piece of wood 0:03:41.816,0:03:43.669 so I knew how long to cut my strips. 0:03:43.669,0:03:45.243 I cut four strips down. 0:03:45.449,0:03:46.297 Before I assembled it, 0:03:46.297,0:03:48.156 I decided to take advantage of my laser 0:03:48.156,0:03:50.096 and put my logo on the end[br]of one of these. 0:03:51.326,0:03:52.898 Then I just added some glue to the strips 0:03:52.898,0:03:54.694 and started knocking everything together. 0:03:55.300,0:03:56.444 You can see here that things 0:03:56.444,0:03:57.909 don't line up perfectly because 0:03:57.909,0:03:59.385 of the issue I talked about earlier. 0:03:59.943,0:04:01.150 It was close enough that I could 0:04:01.150,0:04:02.666 kind of brute force it into shape, 0:04:02.666,0:04:04.121 but in the future, I would definitely 0:04:04.121,0:04:04.945 square up that block 0:04:04.945,0:04:06.141 before I did anything else. 0:04:07.291,0:04:08.460 I made sure to add glue 0:04:08.460,0:04:09.845 on all three of the surfaces 0:04:09.845,0:04:11.110 where these strips were pushed in, 0:04:11.110,0:04:12.561 and try to make sure that everything 0:04:12.561,0:04:13.569 was forced all the way 0:04:13.569,0:04:15.112 down to the bottom of the slot. 0:04:15.935,0:04:17.281 Then I got out my trusty clamps, 0:04:17.281,0:04:18.163 and tried to make sure that 0:04:18.163,0:04:19.971 every connection had some pressure on it 0:04:19.971,0:04:21.648 so that it would dry nice and tight. 0:04:22.863,0:04:24.891 I also wiped off as much glue from[br]the inside 0:04:24.891,0:04:26.429 as I could before it dried. 0:04:26.429,0:04:27.310 That made it a lot easier. 0:04:27.880,0:04:29.307 Eventually, after this was dry and 0:04:29.307,0:04:29.925 out of the clamps, 0:04:29.925,0:04:31.375 I took it to the sander to try 0:04:31.375,0:04:32.475 to smooth out those strips. 0:04:32.447,0:04:33.680 They were a little bit proud 0:04:33.680,0:04:34.780 in some places, again, 0:04:34.780,0:04:36.497 because of the issue I mentioned earlier. 0:04:36.833,0:04:38.596 I finished up just by going over the[br]whole thing 0:04:38.596,0:04:40.070 with a fine sanding pad. 0:04:40.623,0:04:42.207 For finishing, I used a combination of 0:04:42.207,0:04:43.439 bees wax and mineral oil, 0:04:43.439,0:04:45.075 but you could use anything[br]that's food-safe, 0:04:45.075,0:04:46.564 anything that you would use on a[br]cutting board 0:04:46.564,0:04:47.542 would work great here. 0:04:51.216,0:04:52.772 Then it was time to try it out. 0:04:52.772,0:04:54.534 Of course you can make real ravioli, 0:04:54.534,0:04:56.056 but I actually just wanted dessert. 0:04:56.056,0:04:57.394 I rolled it over a pie crust 0:04:57.394,0:04:59.133 and this left some small indentations 0:04:59.133,0:05:00.183 that showed me where I needed 0:05:00.183,0:05:00.940 to put the filling. 0:05:00.940,0:05:02.032 I just used some pie filling, 0:05:02.032,0:05:03.399 put in a few globs, 0:05:03.399,0:05:04.829 and laid over another pie crust. 0:05:05.905,0:05:07.292 Then I rolled back over it and 0:05:07.292,0:05:08.275 it actually worked. 0:05:08.275,0:05:09.436 I was really surprised. 0:05:09.436,0:05:10.850 I thought about making this tool 0:05:10.850,0:05:12.175 as well and I might in the future, 0:05:12.175,0:05:13.755 but I just used a cutter to cut them up, 0:05:13.755,0:05:14.909 put them in the oven, 0:05:14.909,0:05:16.605 let them cook for about seven or eight[br]minutes, 0:05:16.605,0:05:18.261 and I had some nice little pies. 0:05:19.762,0:05:20.995 That turned out to be pretty cool 0:05:20.995,0:05:22.731 and I was actually really happy that[br]it worked. 0:05:22.731,0:05:24.415 I was a little concerned that the spaces 0:05:24.415,0:05:25.679 were going to be too close together, 0:05:25.679,0:05:26.536 it wasn't going to be big enough, 0:05:26.536,0:05:28.804 and I realized that I had made it longer 0:05:28.804,0:05:29.849 than it was wide, 0:05:29.849,0:05:31.346 so they were going to be kind of[br]weird looking. 0:05:31.346,0:05:33.106 Using it for desserts actually 0:05:33.106,0:05:34.251 worked out perfectly because 0:05:34.251,0:05:36.051 now they look like little tiny pies. 0:05:36.051,0:05:37.236 In case you were wondering, 0:05:37.236,0:05:39.033 that was just a pie filling inside some 0:05:39.033,0:05:40.231 store-bought pie crust 0:05:40.231,0:05:42.625 at 450 degrees for about 7 minutes. 0:05:42.625,0:05:44.414 This may not be a thing that you use 0:05:44.414,0:05:45.408 in your kitchen very often, 0:05:45.408,0:05:46.750 I know I probably won't. 0:05:46.750,0:05:47.877 But it was a really cool challenge 0:05:47.877,0:05:49.506 to figure out how to replicate it. 0:05:49.506,0:05:51.202 And also, I'm always looking for projects 0:05:51.202,0:05:52.138 that give me an excuse 0:05:52.138,0:05:53.814 to practice on my new lathe. 0:05:53.824,0:05:55.163 Anyway, this was a fun thing to 0:05:55.163,0:05:56.189 figure out how to do. 0:05:56.189,0:05:57.337 I'd love to know what you think about it. 0:05:57.337,0:05:58.679 Let me know down in the comments. 0:05:58.679,0:06:00.182 I've got lots of other project videos 0:06:00.182,0:06:01.789 of all different types so be sure 0:06:01.789,0:06:02.499 to check those out. 0:06:02.499,0:06:04.259 And if you
