Fantastic!
I see your a wood worker are you an AG brewer? Have you made a mash paddle yet? I've seen some fantastic ones on the interwebs but all the hard wood ones I've seen for sale are at least 20 quid
In the process of buying stuff for BIAB, I'll definitely make a paddle. Not sure if I'll turn the handle and have a flat blade or have the whole thing flat, project for the new year.
Also going to make a scoop for the grain similar to these https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e5-A28EEhbI/maxresdefault.jpg
Gotta have something to do while your mashing xD
Jump on the band wagon with bespoke HB items designed by yourself with Homebrewers in mind.Nice little sideline.:whistle:
Wanted to try my new capper last night, realised I didn't have a bottle opener in the garage so turned one :lol:
That's cracking.You could do trade offs beer for birchðŸÂºðŸâÂðŸÅ³Knocked up a quick paddle, not 100% happy but it'll do. Timbers a bit wet still so will finish/sand it when its dried a bit more
Loving the wood work skillz. Now I know zero about this kind of thing but when you buy a piece of wood to work doesnt it normally not have the bark on? It looks like to went into your back garden to chop a tree down and turn it into a mash paddle. :lol:
And what's the spoon for? or is that just for 'artistic reference'
TBH with a young family I struggle to get time to make things for myself, I try to accommodate when people ask for things but I never make money.

I can empathise with that! :thumb: :thumb:
My brother's bowling club bar had a ship's bell that was used to call "Time!"
As the bell had no traditional bell-rope I made one for him and when he asked me how much he owed me I let him buy me a pint.
Less than a week later he told me how much admired the new bell-rope was; and announced that he had even got me an order for another one with the words "He's even prepared to pay five pounds for it."
What he didn't know was that the materials for the one in the bowling club bar had cost about three quid and it had taken me about twenty hours of work to turn the cotton twine into a bell-rope.
I made the new bell-rope, got my brother to help me drink the fiver and earnestly requested that he didn't get me any more commissions. :whistle:
Happy Days! :thumb: :thumb:
Haha, I've had so many of my daughters friends parents ask me for a price to build one of these. Materials alone are more than what there willing to pay but we live in an age of cheap Chinese rubbish. The �ã300 job from Tesco might do a job but this thing will hopefully out live me :mrgreen:
