Traveling through the swap meet I see a lot of wooden rolling pins for a buck apiece. They need to be re purposed!
I call on the Nanders to come up with some great ideas, are you guys up for the challenge.

Chuck them on the lathe for tool handles etc.

This isn't a neander idea, but make an outfeed with wooden rollers, assuming you can find enough pins the same size. I kind of like Hasin's idea. A lot of times these are made of maple, and would make great tool handles. You could also turn a small mallet out of a decent sized rolling pin.

They are also good for tired feet. Set the pin on the floor and then roll it by placing a foot on top and rolling back and forth.

Malcolm and Hasin the rollers for an out feed was my initial thought and knobs and handles are great ideas, thanks.

Nathan, how big are your spiders that you would need a rolling pin to throttle them?

They don't even need to be the same size, just set with the tops at the same height.

I've collected wooden baseball bats, sometimes 50 cents from yard sales, for wood turning stock for handles and such.

Already round, saves time on the lathe when making chair parts...

Use them to push the bubbles out of veneer or formica after glueing.
Or tool handles and mallets, like others said.

Don't over think this. Making biscuits...bacon, egg and cheese biscuits.
