Thread: Can some one make one of these

Why not buy a wooden rolling pin and cut one end off it. In fact if you cut both ends off it you can make twice as many twice as fast.

hi Jonesy
How dose it work, is it just like Barry sugested you rap the paper aorud it or is it a press thing.
Either way I'm sure someone will take you up. I would but I have a back log of thing needed turning.

if you give me a better idea of how they work, and sizes i will make you one , as i am going down to kempsey on friday so i could leave it somewhere down there...bob

Hi all thanks for the offers and help. Bob it work by wrapping the news paper around it and then you press the round base on and it closes in the bottom. Here is the link it is from but I think the price is a bit of a rip off http://www.greenharvest.com.au/tools...lies_prod.html . Over all size it is about 150mm high and the part you wrap the paper around is about 50mm high the bottom i am not sure of.

Cheers
Thank for your offer to I live in Nambucca so you will go past me or i work in Kempsey so I can pick it up from down there if you are able to make on in time

If I'm not mistaken, you soak the newspaper before wrapping two or three layers and the "bottom." To enhance production, the core might work better if it has a slight taper ("draft") of a few degrees. I'm surprised Barry didn't mention that.

{Add a vent hole drilled to the bottom, to facilitate release.}

Some baking flour (or something like that) might be added to the water for soaking. Google [papier mache] for better advice.
