This useful project makes storing your twine simple and stylish. Using an old wooden salad bowl, commonly found in thrift stores, we added a few touches including a built-in cutter made from a picture hanger. The result is a clever storage solution that will look great on your potter’s bench or make a great gift for a gardening friend.
Materials:
- Wooden salad bowl (thicker is better)
- ½” galvanized plumbing floor flange
- ½” x 5 ½” galvanized pipe
- ½” galvanized cap
- (4) ½” wood screws
- Small picture hanger
- 2 finishing nails
- Kitchen knife sharpener
- Hammer
- Screwdriver
- Twine
- Pliers or vice grip
