Kemper sells a salt and pepper drill tool. The salt side has larger holes =
and pepper small holes. Grains of salt are a bit larger than the finer gr=
ound black pepper.=20
=20
Better to have fewer holes so the person using it has to shake the salt and=
pepper on the food.....not just pour it. =20
=20
I don't know the rule of thumb for others... but for me, I make an "S" with=
8 to 10 holes for the salt and make a "P" , for the pepper shaker, with 7 =
or 8 smaller drill size holes.
=20
A drill bit can be used on the greenware when dry or leatherhard.=20
=20
In humid areas, I sometimes suggest to folks that they put a little rice in=
the salt shaker to keep the humidity keeping the salt from clogging the sh=
aker.

Hope this helps. The best way to test for yourself is just make a set and =
use it yourself for a few weeks.

Ric,
I make the MacKenzie/Bauhaus style salt shakers. The
size of the hole in the cone depends upon where the shaker will be
used: my kitchen shakers, which I usually shake into my hand for
measure, have a larger hole. My table shakers have a smaller hole
for shaking directly on to the food.
