How about salt and pepper shakers ? I drink coffee a fair bit, but i dont have a fancy machine and a tamper would be no good to me.

I found that 6 bolt disc hubs were pretty easily converted to salt and pepper shakers, I made these ones from some Zipp hubs about 5 years ago. Jason Rourke bought them for his dad Brian as a Christmas present! #CSB

Interesting shaker holes attachment. A good idea. Love the disc mount bolts touch. Top marks

I was looking for something like a shaker hole plug at one end, machined to fit into the bearing slot, and at the other a second machined plug, with a central filling hole and plastic plug. I also considered that grinding down the flanges completely and re-anodizing it as the flanges are more problematic sticking out as they do.

I’ve turned several in to light switch pulls. They are surprisingly ergonomic to hold!

Great thread this, all household items could be made of bike parts, theoretically

I've done a couple like you have described in the past, struggling to find pics though. Machined aluminium inserts pressed into the bearing bores of the hubs. I made sure I had mine anodised (Silver for salt/Black for pepper) to ensure no corrosion!

Do you have pics of yours?

Spotted this thread after I decided to turn a few spare hubs into coffee tampers for mates. Made a few now and managed to find loads of old, damaged or simply outdated hubs online.

Just wanted to share!
