Today I decided to get a set of salt and pepper shakers made from some kits I brought they have no instructions. So do you glue the tops in or not was the question, well I found the way to do it and it seems to work without using glue. It is a good job I have been turning for a while because for a novice I would imagine them getting in all sorts of problems with some of the kits on the market.

Anyway made from some off cuts of yew and stand 2 3/" tall and 1 3/4" at the base with a slight taper

The blue on the top is just a protective film

Thanks for that, TR have a ludicrous postal charge for something so small and light.
