How To Make A Cherry Pitter 

How do we make one? Well first off let me give you an overview of what makes up a cherry pitter, a base, handle, and An auger. Now lets take a look at each part individually:

1. Base – There are two main types of bases which are available to buy; wooden & plastic ones. Wooden bases tend to have more weight than their plastic counterparts so they’re better suited if you want something heavy duty. Plastic bases are great because they don’t rust like wood does and they’re cheaper too. They just need to be cleaned regularly though.
2. Handle – You’ll notice that my cherry pitter doesn’t come with a handle attached. That’s fine because you can always cut down any kind of branch/stick into whatever shape you’d like.
3. Auger – This is where things get interesting. What I’ve done here is taken a piece of wire and bent it into the shape of the hole on the top end of your cherry pitter. Then I put some glue inside the hole and pressed it onto the outside edge of the bottom half of the base. After letting it dry overnight I drilled out the center of the circle using a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the auger.
4. Assembly – Finally once everything is assembled together, the whole thing should fit snugly into the middle section of your base. If not adjust accordingly until it fits perfectly. Also remember to grease the area between the auger and the base.
5. Use – Just push the cherry through the hole with your thumb and you can easily remove the pit without having to worry about getting splashed with cherry juice.
6. Cleanup – So there you have it folks! How to make a cherry pitting machine! With just a couple minutes’ effort, you can turn those cherries into delicious sweet juicy morsels.
