Baby Rattles in Process

[PreacherJon]

It took me six hours to get this far with some Baby Rattle blanks. (lots of rest stops) I should be able to start turning them tomorrow.

What do you use for rattling inserts? Please show us your finished product! I am curious. Thanks!

I use copper BBs. I was planning on having them done today. But I was too tired to go in the shop. I'll post them when I get them done.

I'd like to see the finished product too!

Got one done... not the best pictures. When I get them all done I'll post.
Sanded to 280 and then just polished with Carnauba Wax.

Cute. Saw one woodturner used dry beans in rattlers.

Very nice, how many you making?

I used popcorn kernels in the one rattle I made. Un-popped of course.

I currently have four blanks... well, this one is done. Making a couple for my new grandson and the others I'm putting in the store I made a consignment agreement with. Probably will do more as time goes by. I just still get tired pretty easily since my heart attack 5 weeks ago.

Take it easy and enjoy what time you get to work. I deal with a lot of disappointment by not being and to do things because of my pain level. I mentally do not let that bother me. It sucks for sure, but not causing more pain is more important. I wish you a speedy recovery and joyful crafting.
