You can make your own dough cutter. I’ll show you how in the video below.
This is a great project to take on for making gifts. The fabrication process is relatively easy, and straight forward. Relatively speaking, this project is not very time consuming, and such a hand-crafted gift is much appreciated by the recipient. Dough cutters are an essential kitchen all bakers have a use for.
I would caution against any intention of making these to sell though, as stainless-steel dough cutters imported from China are available for around $3.00 each, depending where one shops. The materials cost alone are much higher than this if you decide to make your own. Of course, you can make a far superior product with better quality materials and craftsmanship, but this is lost on most of the customers you might encounter at craft shows.
The materials I used were: 20-gauge, #304 stainless steel (cut to 5” x 6”), ¼” stainless steel round bar (for rivets), hard maple scales (handles) ripped from ¾” stock, leaving two 5/16” strips while still rough. Beyond that, I used some MAS Rapid Cure epoxy, DAP Rapid Fuse glue, and some butcher block (mineral) oil.
I hope you enjoy this video, and please leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions. Let me know what you’d like to see in the future.
