Excellent work! I think you were wise to reduce the size of the knob. The first was bulky. Only thing I would have done differently is I would have put a burn line on the top of the knob on one lid, not on the other, to easily distinguish salt and pepper sides! I do love oak, even well seasoned I think it turns beautifully and looks great when finished. I used to have a source of oak wood pallets that I broke down years ago and have used it in various projects over the years and I am finally nearing the end of. I use it mainly for wood turning now and love it. Nothing like getting white oak that has a lot of figure in it for free! Great video, great results!! Scott

Thanks Scott glad you enjoyed it, I made a smaller one than this and my brother uses the bigger one for cooking and the smaller one on the table at dinner parties, and he said it always generates conversation about how unique it is

Idea is interested, yes, would add a detail on lid for salt, ring or burn line.

Turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing the trick with the piece of lead and the fixing screws through the piece.

"Somewhat similar" is good for us Steve - we like it!😀

Glad you enjoyed it and are inspired by it, let me know how you get on with it, I have been giving it a lot of thought latey as to how i could extend this further with maybe 3 or 4 holes in it

I love the way the shiny stuff transforms the wood and really shows off the grain

Thanks Nicola, the "shiny stuff" is a cellulose based sanding sealer, and your right it does show off the grain to very good effect, that has to be one of the most enjoyable moments of wood turning when you apply that and you see all that beautiful grain exposed for the first time

Fantastic project Steve 👍really enjoyed watching 😁
