Honey at a hotel breakfast bar in Finland

[Dan Wood]

We were just in Finland (🥶), and the hotel we were staying at had a breakfast bar, and this was how you got your honey!

Yep, that’s a standard deep frame in a handy holder!

That’s how they serve honey at Atelier Crenn! Your outing seems a far better value. :)

Pretty easy with a table saw, and some suitable fine-grain wood.
Impregnate with wax to make it (hand) washable.  A hair-drier will do
for the melting.
That's the easy part.

the harder part is building the hotel to justify the placement in the
breakfast room.

Handy club people, you already have a couple of customers who would buy this from you!  Who is up for the project? I would be first in line to buy.

Doesn't look too hard to make and for a much lower cost.

I could make some

I’ve done carpentry for sung previously 

If $50 sounds interesting I’d make some for club members 

I am not interested in making this a side hustle to the public though

Just a thought 

Get down payments before you build a batch to insure people are really committed. ($10 PayPal?)

You don’t want to end up with a pile of unsold product

I can make it , for about $79,99 {like microsoft pricing} 

coming from over 50 year in the Hotel and Restaurant industry 12 plus year in California 

IT WILL NEVER PASS THE MOST BASIC HEALTH DEPT INSPECTION.

it is a gadget would you eat honey were 2 or 300 people have breathe on never mind the dust and storage 

On the Bright side it is a great way to get people vaccinated whether they like it or not.

We saw something similar at the Camden Court Hotel in Dublin last October. I was intrigued by the design as well. Not sure how/where I would use it but Jake said he’d make me one if I wanted.
