How It's Made - The Repast Ravioli Rolling Pin

[stanwiggins]

Great video with lots of ideas for the semi-skilled craftsman, and goals of learning for those of us who want to be much more efficient with the use of our tools. Love the way you created all the jigs and tools rather than just using the lathe alone.

Wow if only every man had a workshop like that there would be no cheap imports

While I usually love woodworking videos I must admit: I just shortcutted to the end hoping to see some raviolis get rolled out. Did not disappoint. Gave it a like, sorry I didn't watch it all.

One Reason more to buy a lathe. that router construction is great.

Man, you must be selling those like crazy if you are making that many! I've been making cutting boards and these would go along perfectly. I saw a video the other day of how to make these things, but yours is definitley a better looking kitchen tool. Keep up the good work! I won't mention your fingers since you already got the memo haha.

You got Italian grandmas shaking in their boots 😂 ... Genius !

Great video man! However, I must suggest that you make a push stick for your table saw and refrain from wearing your sleaves down. Especially since you're batching these things out. All it takes is a little complacency and you can get injured bad.

We need a in depth video on that router set up and construction.

Very nice video and a beautiful looking finished piece! I love the round shape you made in the center of the gaps!

Mike- your videos never cease to amaze me. I’m thinking of this as a Christmas present for my wife :-)

Turning a router into a wood lathe~really innovative!

[davexb]

Very cool. I love the router on a lathe.

Ho aspettato fino alla fine, non capivo cosa era, grande sorpresa complimenti

Hey man, if you could use a conical router bit for the grooves where you use walnut strips, you could use the same triangular section discards from making pre-forming your blank - those sticks you discard when making an octagon out of your square blanks. However, you'll lose the contrast in the final product! Give it a thought. Great streamlined operation, though!

I like your product a lot. It looks great and I love wooden kitchen accessories.I also love the workflow that you have and the router attachment for the lathe :)
My only concern is, how hard it is to clean this roller. It's inevitable that when you make raviolis sometimes cheese or any other filling is gonna drip out and stick to the roller. It must be a pain in the a** to clean all the crevices.
You could maybe make a jig to make grooves directly into the octagonal piece with a radius mill and make pockets with smooth walls and radii instead of those corners...just an idea! :)

[Urahara]

Any particular reason for cutting the grooves down the length in the block after cutting off the corners? I would think having the groove cut in block form would make it easier, given that it would be a more stable surface area. Also, I'm pretty sure if you're using properly sized push sticks, you could also just set the fence on the table saw once and cut your slats faster. Or a cross cut sled made specifically for it; which if you're making that many, would be worth the effort.

Nice idea but I just don't think that the pasta in the ravioli will seal correctly. There is no pasta to pasta contact because you filled the entire sheet of dough with filling. Correct me if I am wrong. Just wondering.

[vitaservo]

I just want the plans on that router jig lol
