Rolling Pin Hardware Kit

Are you rolling in the dough? No? Would you like to? Woodcraft has assembled premium parts to make one of the best rolling pin kits on the market. Kit contains one 3/8" x 18" stainless steel axle, two 7/8"-diameter sealed ball bearings, and four 3/4"-diameter nylon washers. With the wide variety of domestic wood species available to mix and match in making the rolling pin, only your imagination will limit your creativity (wood sold separately).

Simply start with a quality 3" x 3" x 12" hardwood blank such as Maple or Walnut square the ends and mark center on both ends. Bore a 7/8" diameter hole, 11/32" deep on both ends using marks. Next, use a 1/2" x 10" brad point bit to drill half way from each end and meeting in the middle. Make sure that the drill remains straight and parallel while drilling to ensure a straight bore. Mount between centers and turn round, sand and apply a food safe finish. To turn the handles select any turning stock that measures 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 6". Using a brad point bit bore a 3/8" diameter hole 3-1/4" deep. Mount the blank between centers and turn to desired profile, sand and finish. To assemble make a mark 3" from the end of the stainless steel rod, this mark will indicate where the outside edge of the bearing will need to stop. Slide on washer on followed by pressing one of the bearings on. Slide the axel rod through the hole in the pin followed by a nylon washer and the last bearing. Ensuring that the bearings are flush with the ends of the rolling pin slide one washer one each end. Using a five minute epoxy secure your handles onto the axel, let cure and you are ready to start rolling. Once completed, this will be one of the smoothest rolling pins you have ever used.
