DIY Chocolate Scroll Tool

Thank you for modifying your original method of assembly so those of us that don't have access to a welder can still make this device. You were very articulate in addressing food safety and the various ways one can prepare the chocolate to achieve variations in our scrolls. - Chef Yener, you also mentioned you had other ideas you would like to share if anyone is interested. I'm interested in any creative way you have learned to do things. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial!

      I am so excited by the potential of this tool. There can be many variations to sizes and blades/scrapers for different effects and whilst watching this I thought of the different colour combinations and designs that could be achieved. And then you mention this at the end =). This is an awesome and relatively easy little gadget to make, so much so that I’ve written the list of items required (may have a few already in the tool shed/garage) and had my Husband watch this video because I have got to have this gadget; like yesterday!… Is there really no end to your talents Sedar?!… Thank you for this and much love to you and your family from my family and I x
