Jigger – Brushed Pewter

Brushed Pewter Jigger

I spin this Jigger from a solid pewter disc onto a wooden mandrel that I cut on my lathe. The pewter will follow any shape the wooden block (mandrel) features. By simply changing the shape of the wooden form (mandrel) the metal takes on a different positive shape. I can metal spin cups, jiggers, goblets and martini type drink ware from pewter by simply cutting a new form. The pewter I use is an alloy of tin, antimony and copper, does not contain lead, and is food safe. This cup is great for use in the bar for measuring mixed drinks. It features a naturally spun mark on the inside of the jigger at the one ounce level. Filling it to the top rim will provide an approximate two ounce measure.

I enjoy spinning these jiggers that feature a one and roughly two oz. fluid measure. They feel solid in the hand with a weight measure of about 2 1/4 oz. Also, there are slight variations in height due the fact that they are hand made and not machine made. One really cool feature of this is the fact that when you look within the highlights inside the jigger you can see that the maple grain pattern was transferred from the mandrel to the pewter during the spinning operation. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this jigger. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
