Mason Jar Honey Dipper. A project your honey is sure to love! 

I am an amateur wood turner and a beekeeper friend asked to make some honey vases for his store. I made a conventional one with the additional honey stick and then I thought that it would be nice to incorporate it on the lid. So, I googled it and I was so disapointed to see that I am at least 5 yrs late. I thought of that just before go to bed and I woke up at roughly 4 am with this on my mind. I even thought of a name for "my idea". Thanks for the video though. Great piece of work and of course great idea... I will try to make it exclusively of wood, both the vase and the lid-honey-stick...

Nice job Steve, been turning these for the old folk so it makes it easier to get the lid off the jar.

Great video/idea. I've been turning honey dippers for a while now, and this gives me a new twist on them. THANKS

Best honey dipper ive seen ... Cheers from Australia

Love this idea and have made three. Let's just say that each one is a practice for the next. That is, plenty of mistakes. To remove the lid, I simply screw on the jar and pull it out. I've found in the past that mayo jar lids work quite well when doing homemade sauces etc., colour coded, so have been using those. One less thing to recycle and they work. I've learned MUCH from this one video. Thank you so much for posting.

Thanks for this video. I've made a number of these. I like to make the edge of the lid a little thinner, but I've also cracked a few doing this. I would also say it's a little more advanced than you suggest mainly because you really have to do all the steps in the right order, so some experience helps with that sequence planning.

What a great idea Steve going to try this myself ,new to turning so this will beca good project. Many thanks for a well explained video greatly appreciated

Great project. I just started making honey sticks and now, thanks to you, I have something new to try. ❤

Love the dipper in the lid idea! reminds me of course of jars with a brush through the lid for keeping it moist with what ever it is in the jar! I should make me one of these, as we do eat a lot of honey in my house... Thank you for sharing Steve!

great job

Neat idea, cool project. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic finish, awesome work 👍

First one of your videos I have watched, but it sure will not be the last. Wonderful job.

I love this idea. I've been a woodworker for over 20 years, but fairly new to the lathe so I'm looking for all kinds of projects to get more practice with. Have turned a few wood lids (covers) as gifts, but I really like this spin on it. Thanks!!

I'm going to look for the plastic lids right now. Thanks Steve.

Great idea. I have made many of these several years ago. Also kept all of my jam chucks. Plan on making some more. Thank you.

nice and simple, and very precise Thank You

Good job Steve, I liked your method of doing these. Thanks again.

Thanks buddy I am wanting to make one and that was real good information.

Brilliant

What an interesting project. Thanks for sharing this one! I think I will share on my Facebook page.

excellent vid you should know that I am going to steal this .....and about a thousand others ... tom.

Great job, neat idea combining dipper and lids. Will definitely try this. Thanks for the video. Potential filming tip. Maybe you could try to get your camera at a higher angle to allow viewers to see more of your tool maneuvering.

Hi Steve, I'm just starting to learn how to use a wood lathe and love this idea. I look forward to giving it a try. Cheers.

I like the project and the way you did it! Great job! I definently plan on making one! Keep up the good work!

Good video Steve and well presented. The Mason jar system never really made it over here in the UK which is a shame. The compatibility between manufacturers different glass and lids is a great idea. Tom

So neat. Watched with my girlfriend, now I’ve got to make one for her

I really like this project. thanks

Cool! I am a turner... And just started a new hobby... Beekeeping! (see top bar Hive on Utube... I have 4 built and occupied now... will have more next year) Will not have extra honey this year... But if things go as planned... I'll have at least a couple hundred pounds of honey next year above what my bees need... can you guess what a lot o folks are getting for Christmas next year? (Lord willing and I'm still kicking!). great well thought out Vid!

Really nice mate. Such a great idea.

Am new to turning, Aewsome video.

Hi Steve Very nice project - great beginners project as you said! I like what I see in your work -- I am now a subscriber! Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada

hmm now I am thinking to do two nuts epoxy in with a bolt to fasten the top to the bottom ,so it can be taken apart to wash thanks Steve for making me think

Great idea it'd really be good if you were good friends with a bee keeper too

Beautiful piece of art...and made in reverence to wood...just lovely. Do you sell these? I would buy one.

Very well done. Glad to subscribe.

Going to have to try this one!

Really great!

That is so awesome!

Love it. Good vid. Con Delia

Great project. How much do these generally sell for at craft fairs?

Great idea! Too bad I'm not a woodworker. Any chance you make them upon request?

Can a wooden dipper be left in the honey jar without damaging it?

Wow I want

Great idea! Just curious ... do you put any kind of finish on the dipper part? I was thinking Beeswax might be good. Thoughts?

Hi Steve, thanks for the vid, very cool. I dont understand english, sorry. So, what kind of wood do you use for the dipper? And no finish? Take care.

Steve what did you use to finish the Dipper?

Do you sell them?
