Madia - Sicilian Dough Tray
It's olde worlde to mix yeast bread and pizza dough by hand. Many cultures seem to have variants of wooden cabinets in which to mix, knead and rise the dough. I made this small one after I originally found some references to a Sicilian "Madia" or pizza and bread making trough.
This one is made in Jacaranda and has been oiled with Liquid Paraffin. Lots of compound angle cuts to test my new slider....

Thanks for this. I remember my grandmother telling me about making bread communally like this when she was a young girl in Sicily in the early 1900's. She taught me to make bread when I was a child in the 1960's and here I am still doing it. Today, in fact! Good memories.

That style was also traditionally used for hand mixing / kneading mince and seasoning in salami making. My folks have a jumbo sized variant, approx 1500mm L x 600mm W x 250 D, but sans the lid, for that very purpose. Supported on trestles, it will hold 100kg of pork mince.

Thanks all. I did originally make a prototype out of some radiata pine to work out the angles. For the prototype I used a drop in base but went for a planted base on the final version.
The pine was offcuts from some stair stringers and surprisingly wasn't very stable, warping a bit after being sized and assembled, particularly the base. I couldn't find any suitable Hoop Pine which I wanted to use for the final version but we've used the Jacaranda one a couple of times and it is looking very solid with no sign of movement so far.Franklin
