If you happen to have technical difficulties, this video is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook. But it is best right here.

Our club had a demonstration that I had not imagined before. The demonstrator took an old fashioned glass jar with glass lid and wire clamping mechanism. Although he had acquired his jars from thrift stores, he indicated that they could also be purchased at Amazon.com.

It looked like a fun project but with technical details that could be a challenge. I decided to answer the club challenge with this project to make a jar for this retro glass ring. However, I decided to make my jar segmented. To enhance it further, I decided to add four Celtic style rings for visual interest.

These rings follow my three rules for Celtic knots.

1. Accurate sawing for height, angle, and rotation.
2. Exactly replace wood removed.
3. Accurate position and align both pieces while inserting the slice.

My jar is 3.5 inches diameter and 6 inches tall. The base wood is maple. The accent wood is a mystery to me.

Enjoy.
