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
