Need help

[Baldhead]

Made a New Years resolution (you know, the sort of thing you do when you've had a few to many [medicinal] brandies) that I would make everyone of the family something out of wood, one of my sister-in-laws makes cakes and biscuits, the only thing I can think of that she would find useful would be a cake stand but I don't have a lathe,I have tried the old, "bit darling if only I had a lathe I could make Amanda a lovely cake stand" however SWMBO will not allow it, so what the hell can I make her?

The other females will be getting chopping boards and my dear old mother-in-law (98 this year) will be getting a music box.

hows about a posh spatula for flipping her biscuits?

 

[Grahamshed]

Or maybe a lazy Susan for decorating / serving the cakes ? They can be made without a lathe.

 

[Glynne]

How about a folding cake stand - you don't need a lathe for these?

 

[RogerS]

If you had a lathe I can think of something 'very' special you could have made .... :twisted:

Not all cakes around, and neither are all cake stands...

Thanks guys, I had thought of a lazy Susan, but I really like the folding cake stand idea.

Or a nice book stand for following recipes?

That's what my missus wants, but I have the lathe not the flat work tools. :roll:

Sounds like you could arrange a swap deal!

Well mines been round the click one (or twice), running gear is starting to show signs of age as is the bodywork, but a damn fine baker and cook, and regular supplies of nibbles and tea to the workshop.

So on balance a looker might be a good trade to start with, but I'd soon miss the baking smells every day in the kitchen.

Phil mine is also a good cook, less than 60 human years but more than 50, own teeth and car (new Fiesta, just picked it up on Saturday) has done a good job of looking after me for 30 years, and TBH I don't want to swap her (well not on a permanent basis) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Perhaps some sort of storage container / biscuit barrel type of thing for storing all of that lovely home baking , at least until you get round to eating it ( fresh baked cookies and buns are a weakness that i have so swmbo doesent get a chance to save any )
