I have a lot of problems getting the angles correct correct.
The size I have been building is 20" high with a 8" bottom and a 6" top.

Welcome Aboard!

I guess your current measurements were just determined by you? Do they work?

Sounds like a unique project!

Any pictures / tutorial?

umm, you've built two already, I assume they work.. what's the prob?

Post up the plans you've been working with and we'll take it from there! :lol:

Butter Churn

Thanks to Woodman42 I may have found the answer. I have no plans, I came across a site called "Beaver buckets" and found a churn they sell. I took a screen shot and sat down and figured out a size and started "trial and error" cutting. A picture is in my gallery of one of them. Again thanks Woodman42.

Jim,

That's a cool butter churn... I think it's the first hand made butter churn I've ever seen! :smile:

Looks like you've done a wonderful job on it!

Now, the key question... Does it make butter? :smile:

Your welcome Jimbu36, glad I could help.
Cool churn. Good job.

Foxfire #3 (Anchor Publishing) has plans for making an authenic churn.
By the way, the pics were great.

I am used to churns being made of pottery, except for the wood top with the hole in it.

Have never seen a wooden churn.
