Jeff Baker on Instagram: “I just posted the build video for this Cherry Salt Cellar. Link in bio if you want to catch it. #woodworking #youtube #saltcellar”

today i picked up my custom made knife block.

this is the start of my new good knife collection.

it is made from american walnut and is made by a very talented friend of mine John Quan.

the design is a good one because you can add more sections for more knives as your collection grows. each section is held together with magnets.

this is the block with one of my not so good knives it it now. another reason this design is good is because it does not rest the knife on the blade dulling it.

it looks great too. all i need to do now is save for the kitchen knives, but this is a good inspirational place to start i thought.

How to Build a Root Cellar : 4 Different Types

There was a time when almost every family had a root cellar of some kind. They all learned how to build a root cellar. However, with the advent of modern refrigeration, DIY root cellars have seemingly lost their value. Refrigerators in the house became a modern convenience, storing all foods between 32 to 40 degrees. But instead of long-term storage of valuable fruits and vegetables, we often find our crispers full of decaying produce that ends up going to the chickens, being composted, or worse yet, ending up in a landfill. It turns out that not all foods are best stored at temperatures as cold as modern refrigeration. Fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplant, snap beans, peppers, garlic, onions, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatillos, and watermelon all prefer a warmer storage temperature closer to 50 degrees, and can actually be damaged by colder temperatures.

Luckily, nature has once again provided the perfect food storage option. With underground temperatures remaining constant at around 52 degrees F, and the presence of high humidity due to soil moisture, a root cellar dug into the ground is the perfect environment for the storage of not only fruits and vegetables, but also aging cheese, fermented vegetables, and jars of canned goods that we have run out of room for in the pantry. For those of us who farm or garden, keeping a root cellar underground or in the basement allows us to properly store the abundance we have been blessed with during the growing season.

Best Location for a Root Cellar

Choose a location that is easily accessible. Root cellar conditions need to be monitored, and regular checks for signs of spoilage must be made. A neglected root cellar will be unsuccessful.

Choose a north or northeast facing hill, mound, or corner of the basement. Soil can be warmed by the sun, so a north facing hillside or corner of the basement will provide the most steady cool temperatures. If you live in a region with extremely cold temperatures like Alaska, a south-facing option will prevent freezing in your storage space during the winter.

Ensuring Proper Root Cellar Conditions

Provide ventilation for air circulation. Fruits and vegetables are constantly releasing off-gasses, some more than others. Some of these off-gasses can create spoilage or affect the taste of neighboring vegetables. Ventilation can be created by leaving space at the point of entry or through ventilation pipes. If you want to get really fancy (and efficient), a low intake air pipe can be installed to allow cool air in, and a high outtake pipe can be installed for the release of warm air and gasses.

Food cellar humidity levels. Produce can quickly become dry and shriveled, or begin to break down without proper humidity. Many produce storage items do best in environments with humidity levels between 80-95%. In underground root cellars, these humidity levels are easily maintained in most climates. Basement root cellaring will often require added moisture to maintain these levels. Added moisture can be maintained through moist wood shavings or containers of water left to evaporate.

Maintain the proper root cellar temperature. Fluctuations in temperature outside of the ideal range can cause fruits and vegetables to break down. A location that remains unaffected by outdoor conditions is ideal. In some regions, the months during which long-term storage is possible will be limited because of either extreme heat or extreme cold. Your point of access will be the weakest point in maintaining even temperatures, so be sure to face the opening to the north or northeast, unless you live in an extremely cold climate.

Different Types of Root Cellar Designs

1. The in-ground or underground root cellar

The traditional root cellar is dug into the side of a hill, or dug straight down into the ground, well below the freezing point of the soil for a particular region. Ideally the depth of the root cellar allows for standing room. This allows for easy management of goods and creates zones within the root cellar. Cold air sinks and warm air rises, so vegetables such as root vegetables that prefer colder temperatures can be placed closer to the ground.

2. Concrete Block Root Cellar

A dirt root cellar is an option, but leaves your storage space more open to critters who may think that you placed your abundance of produce there just for them. Instead, the root cellar can be lined with bricks, cinder blocks, or poured concrete slabs. Wood can also be used, but will eventually need to be replaced over time. Here at No. 9 Farms, since we live in “tornado alley,” we purchased a prefabricated concrete storm shelter and placed it underground. It works quite well for both purposes.

3. Above Ground Food Cellar

This is an area where you will have less control over temperature, and is more susceptible to critters who think you are sharing, but for milder regions, this can be an excellent option for short and long-term storage. Storing in crates of some kind is recommended for this option.

4. Food Storage in Your Basement

What could be more convenient than having your food storage in your house? On those cold winter days, walking out to the root cellar first thing in the morning isn’t always appealing. An underground basement can provide excellent storage conditions. Choose a north or northeast corner of the basement that is not connected to modern heating and cooling. This type of area can be created even in modern homes by closing off an area with walls and a door in a part of the basement where a vent is not present

How to Store Your Food in a Root Cellar

Check with your local extension office or online guides for specific lists of ideal root cellar temperatures and humidity levels for individual fruits and vegetables. A number of produce items will need to be cured before being placed into long-term food storage.

Onions and garlic should be cured in a warm, dry area in the shade for a week before being trimmed. After trimming, cure alliums for another two weeks. Temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s are preferable.

Potatoes should be cured in cool, dark, moist environment (such as your root cellar if you have room to spread them out) for a couple of weeks before being placed in a container with a lid. A loosely closed container will prevent shriveling.

Sweet potatoes can be tricky to cure because they are often harvested in the fall before freezing temperatures set in. Their ideal curing temperature is 85 degrees with high humidity. In most regions of the country, fall temperatures are well below this level. Here at No. 9 Farms we cure our sweet potatoes in the greenhouse for two weeks before moving them to the root cellar.

Pumpkins and winter squash can be cured at 70-80 degrees for a couple of weeks in a well-ventilated area. If there is concern of freezing nighttime temperatures, be sure to bring your squash indoors to prevent damage.

Cabbages and root vegetables prefer cool, moist conditions. Store cabbages with roots intact along with root vegetables in moist sand near the floor of the root cellar.

The environment of every root cellar will be different, just as the microclimate of every growing space if different. Over time you will get to know your space and the adjustments that need to be made. Listen to your fruits and vegetables—they will let you know if conditions are not ideal. Start small and learn the art of food storage. It will help you break the grocery store paradigm.

Stephanie Oaks lives in Ashland City, Tennessee, where she and her husband own and operate No. 9 Farms, an organic farm that specializes in berries, herbs, fruits and vegetables, and Christmas trees. Stephanie spends the remainder of her time homeschooling their two teenage children and teaching classes on organic gardening and healthy cooking.

Wine Cellar Inspirations: Terms To Learn In Wine Cellar Construction

Embarking on your very first wine cellar project? Then there are terms that you will encounter that might not make a lot of sense. So it’s definitely a good idea to enrich your wine cellar construction vocabulary. Here some terms that you need to get acquainted with. They will shed a lot of light on the construction process. The added knowledge will let you arrive at the best decisions concerning your wine cellar.

Build your wine cellar the right way! — Studs and Soffits

Studs need to be installed if it is a newly built wine cellar. You will need to “stud the space” in order to frame out your wine cellar project. You usually start by sealing the concrete foundation walls prior to installing studs. Soffits are basically used to cover ducting, piping, or other obstructions. Take note that the lighting installed in the soffit should be placed far enough away. This is so that it will not interfere with the finished racking and/or ducting depth. That includes the depth of crown molding. A good rule of thumb to follow is to leave a 1-inch gap from the front of the crown molding to the closest edge of the ring on the can light. It is recommended to use IC can lights so you can insulate around them.

When choosing wood for your wine racks, these two terminologies can come in handy. Plain sawn lumber is one that is sawed parallel to the annual growth rings. This practice makes the wood visually appealing. Moreover, it makes it easier to produce from a log and gives it a varied grain appearance. Here at WCI, plain sawn lumber is the standard offering for our wood options. In contrast, quarter sawn lumber is one that is sawed perpendicular to the annual growth rings. In doing this, the wood really can really showcase its grain patterns. That’s why this method is sometimes requested in hardwoods. Keep in mind that material costs are higher for woods sawn in this technique. This is also part of the “customization” that WCI can do for clients upon request.

There are various rail options to choose from! — SB Rail, Beveled Rail, and Molding Rail

It is important to know how a wine racking unit is structured to ensure the safety of your bottles. Naturally, it should also be aesthetically pleasing. The various racking “series” here at WCI also have different kinds of rails to support the wine bottles. Learning more about these will aid you in selecting the most suitable one for your collection. The SB Rail is one that is used at all locations where a spacer bar will be placed. It is square-cut and recessed to create a snug fit. The Beveled Rail is tops in aesthetics and helps keep label tearing to a minimum. Our Vintner Series utilizes this type of rail. Lastly, there’s the Molding Rail. This is flush mounted to the front of a rack, leaving no gaps when molding is applied.
