A Paper potter

[TellicoTurning]

actually a paper pot maker... my wife belongs to a couple of gardening blog groups and in a conversation with one of her friends, the friend mentioned the paper pot maker... I googled them and found a couple of pictures... only sites I found were all located in the UK though... so I tried my hand at a couple... the first was okay, but the second came out more like the photo and looks a little better to me. I didn't put any finish on them because the wife didn't want it... she likes the feel of raw wood. Both are from ELM wood...

They look great, I have seen the plans and never got to them.

I had to google "paper pot maker". That's a unique project, nicely done!

It must be getting late I thought the thread said( paper potty)
I have noticed thoughs in the seed cataloges. Does it work pretty good and where did you get the plans. I know my other half would like one.

Very well done! I'm sure they will both help many seedlings off to a great start!

I didn't have any plans... Just looked a a picture I found on the interweb...

I did find some dimensions on one of the googles, but don't remember which site it was on...

These dims are from memory.... I think they are (they are in MM since the site I copied was from the UK..

Base: 70 mm dia x 30 mm high
Potter: 42 mm dia x 110 mm high

I think my model is close to these dims, but not right on...

Looks pretty good to me and I too have thought of making one for use in getting a few plants started. I had seen them in the Burpee's catalog. http://www.burpee.com/product/seed+starting/potmaker-+1+potmaker.do

There were instructions in last years spring issue of Woodturning Design.
