We'll also uncover the keys to The Savoy's successes, both past and present, as this beloved five-star establishment enters the new millennium with the most expensive hotel refurbishment in history. No request is too big and no detail too small, and we learn some of the tricks of their trade. Its unrivalled reputation for service is thanks to The Savoy butlers who care for guests round the clock. From the first celebrity chef, whose extraordinary cuisine introduced restaurant culture to Britain, to the hedonistic cocktail age of the 1920s in its world-renowned American Bar, where the idea of the drink before dinner was born, this hotel's innovations have changed how we eat, drink and have a good time. This engaging documentary reveals how The Savoy was a hotel before its time. For 130 years, this bastion of British hospitality has been welcoming guests, including some of the most famous faces in history. This video shows you another food safe wood polish that you can make at home.INSIDE THE SAVOY takes you beyond the lobby to discover the stories of the U.K.'s first-ever luxury hotel. I would recommend using food safe ingredients just to be careful. There is a lot of controversy over what is and is not food safe. When finishing turnings that will be used with food or in the kitchen you should use a food safe finish. Everything is done and now we just have to wait for the cabbages. To finish the kraut pounder I use a food safe orange wax. I did not include any burn lines or other ornamentation that would make it harder to clean. For this project I kept the design simple and clear. ![]() I increased the lathe speed again, then proceeded to sand the kraut pounder. Top and bottom were turned down to a fairly small dimension. The knob was turned to 2 1/4″ and shaped to suit the pounder. This one is just over an inch in diameter and seems well proportioned. The larger the diameter the greater the strength but smaller hands find it easier to grab a smaller diameter. The handle needs to be balanced between strength and utility. I also used the skew chisel to create the rounded end on the head as well. I used my skew chisel to create a nice smooth and slightly rounded surface to the head of the kraut pounder. I used my roughing gouge for most of the shaping work getting the head and handle close to the right diameter. The knob is about an inch and the remainder is the handle in the middle. So once the piece was round I paused to layout the general design on the wood. ![]() The piece of firewood is about 15” in length. It is nice having a quick way to change speeds on the lathe. At this point I increased the speed on my lathe to the next level. Once you have it mainly round the turning goes much faster, and safer. Keeping the tool rest close to the wood helps you control the tool and limits the impact the uneven wood has on your tool tip. Once you have turned some of the wood you can use the turned section to position the tool rest close to the wood. To turn the “firewood” safely I positioned the tool rest next to the wood and rotated it by hand before turning on the lathe. This was a challenge to turn round and I would recommend shaping the wood a bit more than I did before putting it on the lathe. I estimated the center point of the piece of wood and set the lathe on its lowest speed. Turning a piece of firewood can be tricky. So the knob is about 2 1/4″ in diameter and will fit into a regular mason jar. I also rounded over the knob on the other end in case the user needed to work with a jar that had a smaller opening. The bottom of the kraut pounder is rounded to facilitate the pounding. This gets the pounder into the bottom of the jars without the user smashing their knuckles on the top of the jar. There is a handle that gives the pounder some height. This is about 2 1/2” in diameter and fits larger jars. I grabbed a piece of larch firewood that I thought would give me the right diameter. You want a harder wood to stand up to the use and one that will not add anything to your cooking. While there are many ways to achieve this, a turned wooden kraut pounder makes the job a lot easier. To make it properly you need to pound the cabbage in its container and release its juices. Coming from the old world a Kraut Pounder was used to make sauerkraut. ![]()
