This started life as a Steve Good pattern.  I added a tray ( ver 2 ) I then made the tray removable ( ver 3 )
Cut from 3/4 appleply sealed with Tung Oil and then Shellacked.

Very nice but would look better with some M&M's in it.  I prefer peanut M&M's.

Nice one. I made one a while back and found the same - a removable tray is needed if you're dispensing small pieces.

Did you do anything special to help the flow? Mine will jamb on certain types. Gumballs work fine (bigger and round). M&M Peanuts occasionally get crushed. I also added a small peg to the rotator to give leverage if it jambs. Rotates enough to dispense but not all the way around anymore.

I have found that by putting a fairly substantial bevel both on the wheel hole and the edge just under the jar that things do not jam nearly as much.
