Corzetti Pasta Tool
Hello,
I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to help me. I'm looking at getting a Corzetti pasta tool made.
They look like this: Purchase classic pasta stamps from artisanalpastatools.com
They're quite difficult to find and even more so in Australia so thought I would just investigate if anyone was willing to make them here instead.
There are two parts to it as you can see in the pictures, one side is used to cut a sheet of pasta into rounds, and the other side with the handle shape is used to emboss a design into the cut pasta rounds.
The embossing design isn't too much of a concern for me, so open to suggestions. The one on the link as "G" with the concentric circles and star in the middle is quite nice and simple.
If anyone can tell me if they are willing to help and give a quote or point me in the right direction of someone who might be able to help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

Interesting and simple enough, what diametre are the rounds usually? That would determine the overall size, looks like quite a simple project. The end grain embossing / carving in releif is something i don't know a thing about, kind of a second part to the project, i dont think it would be too hard to do in the turning aspect of the basic shape.
With a chatter tool you could create some quite pretty and detailed one off style embossing without the need to get relief hand carving tools i guess, depends on the purpose and the detail required.
If the size of the rounds are about 4-5cm it looks to be just a handle or knob with a stand to protect the embossed underside that can cut the rounds with its base. Or even have the cutter edge upside down when turned so it protects and captives the embossing and is itself protected. Essentially a lidded box, with an oversized lid, and not much internal space.
My missus might give me an odd look, however i enjoy seeing that result, might give this a go with some offcuts and see what happens.

The rounds are usually around 5cm in diameter. what you're describing sounds right.
would love to hear what the results are.
this is someone's blog post of a corzetti stamp in action with a recipe as well

I'm part of a little community of food enthusiasts in Brisbane and I think a few them would be interested to know how to get a stamp so they can make their own as well.

Hollow out the dish shaped one more and you could make round ravioli as well.
I might give this a go tomorrow.

Bob, on the second pic of the second link it looks to be a pattern on the top of the base, or the upper side of the cutter that the handle presses onto, so i'd say yes, though on some other shots it doesn't seem to have the same. An oddity perhaps where either is acceptable.

From what I can tell, sometimes there are tools which will print a pattern on both sides (not necessarily the same pattern), and others just print one pattern on one side.

Well i eventually got 'round to it...
I bought some Tassie Oak, as a DAR 42mm square, i figured it would be nice enough for this try. i finished it to 800, EEE and glow (both foodsafe finishes).
It was lovely wood to turn, the end result is about 40mm dia. I tried a small bit of chatter tool work, from a ground down hacksaw blade, however it didn't work as i wanted it to so i went with plain concentric circles. I allowed a bit of room on both pieces for the circles to be cut away if needs be.
I think it turned out ok.
Do you think it could find a home with you Monky?
