A baby rattle can be a pretty quick and simple project - you don't need any real hollowing skills and it can be made with small scraps of wood, some glue, and some rice. It's a pretty straightforward process; the only part that's at all tricky is getting a good fit when you attach the handle to the bulb. Aside from a tiny bit of rough hollowing, the turning is mostly just spindle turning and you can embellish the rattle as much or as little as you like. You could also make a bigger version as maracas and try something other than rice inside to get different sounds.

Still no commentary (yet), but I did include some subtitles with a little extra info about what I'm doing in certain parts. Maybe you'll actually hear me speak in the next one (my first attempt was a disaster, so you won't be seeing that one).
