Perfume Applicator

[David Fried]

This was a Christmas present for one of my neighbor's daughters. I forgot to get a picture of it so I ran over tonight to snap these. Their floors are even less level than mine and I found I needed to put the piece in the crack between leaves in the table or it would roll right off!

It was the first time I tried turning plastic. It turned very nicely but the white spaghetti that wraps around everything was a royal pain!

Of course, she also got perfume to go with it!

As always, thanks for looking.

Nice Looking perfume applicator!
Beautiful!

[Andy Hoyt]

Cool. Would have thought the friction generated heat would have melted the plastic.

Nice David! I made perfume sprayer a couple months ago but just did a straight design. I like yours better. I still have a couple kits so I think I'll try another one with more flare like yours. Thanks!!!:)

Great job David, Wood is more fun to turn them the plastics and a lot less mess to clean up and separate from the wood chips if you are using it for compost.

I made 10 of those for Christmas presents and they were liked by all. One women ordered some more after she got hers.

David,

Sadly, I can't see your pieces. For some reason my new computer doesn't show some of the pictures. Did you cut and paste your picture to your post or did you use the attachment management buttons? I am trying to fix this quirk...

John,

Go for it!

My original design looked like a slender, elongated, apple core. I thought it had a wonderful modern look but as I started to turn it realized it would feel terrible in your hand! After that I aimed at something more cylindrical with a little genie bottle feel.

Thanks for the kind words, too!

Chris...I'm thinking that you are blocking Popups for this site.

Great looking piece David.:) :)

Very nice and vivid color David. I know the acrylic strings can be troublesome when turning it, but the end result is usually worth the hassle. As in this case, very pretty work. :)
