How To Make A Toothpick Holder - Woodturning

A seemingly mundane yet fun to watch project with more woodturning techniques and challenges than you’d expect. Have you turned something small today?

Tools and equipment used in this video:

5/8” drill chuck

This chuck has been been a faithful tool for many years. You will need a mounting arbor that matches the chuck and the taper of your lathe tailstock. Check out one of the MSC sales catalogs for a discount on drill chucks. In the past, drill chucks like this were on sale in one of the catalogs nearly every month.

Mini Ball Head

The small ball head I use on the end of my mini boom has been out of production for years. This is a selection of similarly sized small ball heads. Buy a ball head with a metal ball and socket. The plastic ones are trouble.
