I have a large commercial-style salt shaker in my kitchen, like the one pictured below. It holds about half a box of Morton's table salt.
It occurred to me one day several years ago that each shake delivered about the same amount of salt, so I measured and determined that twenty shakes consistently produces 1 teaspoon of salt, and thus 10 shakes = ½ teaspoon, 5 shakes = ¼ teaspoon, etc.
It's not exact, of course, but it's close enough for most cooking (I still measure when baking).
