Ice Cream Scoops

I had to try a couple of ice cream scoops over this long weekend. I got the heavy duty stainless steel kits from Bear Tooth Woods.

The handles are drilled and tapped to accept the hardware. A clearance hole can also be used to epoxy the handles on as well.

Excellent job on those! Can't decide which I like better. Have never done an acrylic but after seeing these there may be some in the near future. Thanks for sharing!

Those came out awesome! I love the blue one, but they are all beautiful.

Very nice, I'm sure those will disappear quickly... Where did you get acrylic blanks that size, they are stunning.

Thanks for the kind words. No more bent spoons !

@Dave - I got the blanks from BearToothWoods. A double stopper blank that is 1-1/2 square by 5 inches long works out perfect for these.

I should add that the tapped hole is deeper then a tap can handle. I have taps that are relieved on the shank so I could hand tap them deep enough.

If you don't have something like this a step drilled hole would also work to allow clearance for the full body of the tap shank above the cutting edges of the tap. It just takes some planning.

Folks have used a threaded insert in wood handles to allow removal for washing.
