How long did i take u to turn every one of those wood washers?

Kyle,

This turns in about 30 minutes to an hour for the whole project. You turn your wood into a cylinder and then use a parting tool to make cuts that will be the parts of the rattle. I made a tool out of a flat screwdriver that has a hooked edge and use it to angle in on each of the remaining posts coming from each side. this frees up the ring while the piece is turning. I have found that it is important to sand the rings as well as you can before freeing them because it becomes more difficult post freeing them.

Happy turning

MIKE
