Toadstool Tealight Holder by Roy Hadland
Roy began his project by drilling 4 holes in the side of a beech spindle (part of a Dunelm rolling pin!). He then made a channel to accept a rubber O ring with his narrow parting tool. This would seat the toolstool top securely in the completed item. This section of the demo was completed by shaping the spindle and drilling a central hole with a Forstner bit mounted in his Jacob’s chuck to expose the 4 holes and seat the LED tealight.
After the break Roy set about turning the toadstool top which would fit on top of the beech spindle already turned.
Once made and fitted the top was then sprayed with a base layer of black eboniser before applying the irridescent paints with a brush. A very interesting project and a proven seller at craft fairs. Well done Roy.
