I need one of these... pretty cool setup

Impressive. I can't believe it didn't fly across the room. I'm to scared to try.

hi a bit late here but what thread pitch does the jig take?

Wow, extremely clever. The colour of the wood, almost makes the piece look like a bowl that has rusted onto a piece of iron, I love it. Thanks for the video.

Does nobody talk about moisture content in the wood when making boxes, or movement is the wood which both will destroy the fit of the lid, this is a very important consideration in box making.

Excellent 👍🏼😊

Terrific job. I am inspired to try. Just a thought; what about drilling and tapping the blocks, (top only needed if you use more of the same size blocks) and cut a wood clamping screw to adjust the tension? You could even go back to the first cut direction if you need to refine the first part of the sphere.

Enjoyed your video 👍❤️

That's lovely.

Great video. Great project, video was well done. I like your Chuck idea with modifying your Cole jaws . You used the existing holes and just counter sunk the screws. I'm still thinking on how you laid it all out and lined the blocks up. I would have loved to have seen that. As boring as sanding is I would have liked to have seen a bit of that included. Very cool

Good tip on aligning the jig. I will try that. I have been using a board between the two spindles but finding space to use my speed square is a challenge on my PM3520c.

Excellent work. I have been wanting to trun one of these. I like your chucking methods. I thibnk that is real challenge on these pieces. Not sure that I want to go to the trouble of drilling and tapping my cole jaws though.

Great project and explanation.

excellent young man...

I had my doubts when I saw the tear out but it turned out good. Very nice work.

👍

give me a break it's wood not metal + or - a 32nd good enough

Have worked on what's called "an emerging bowl", but your concept just extended that boundary. Nicely done. Almost looks like a piece of burl really adds to the visual quality.

What a cool concept. Definitely putting this in my back pocket. If you're worried about the grip of those wood blocks, you could glue on some 120-180 sandpaper to add a little more bite. Some rubber mat might also be an option, though I'm not sure if it could result in minor chatter unless heavily tightened.

Hello - I am considering a Laguna lathe to replace my aging Delta. Have you been pleased with yours? Thanks, Jim Marshall

Very interesting. I have done a lot of emerging turnings and like this one a lot. Nice job. By the way I like that spindle lock you have there.

I love the concept! great vid. If you continue to do these you might consider investing in a smaller hollowing tool. Overall, nicely done

Nice technical wood turning, loved the video and thanks for sharing. Great ide with the USB light :D

I’d love to be able to thread my boxes but I’m sure this cost a fortune. I’ll save up for it. Thank you for sharing.

HI, thank's for your video which is a good tuto; I made some like that few years ago but not with so methodical way, and with sometimes random result; it's a fun turning. 😃👍

Hmm, been thinking about getting one of these. I do have an old Klein jig, and a Baxter one, and trying to figure out if there are any advantages to this one. For sure, keeping the jig on dead center/parallel to the lathe appears to be an issue. I think the old ones used to flip up to a vertical position so you could check the fit without having to move anything else. I did find a way to 'time' the threads when cutting them so you don't have to adjust one box a full 1/16 inch/one full turn on one box, and maybe 1/4 or less of a turn on the next. I use a stop block, kind of like what I use when making identical cuts on the cross cut set up on my table saw. Need a spacer between the cutter and the lid and base. I cut lid threads first, then the base. Spacer is about 1/8 or slightly less thick. Slide the jig up till you have that ideal gap. Oh, pencil line where the grain matches up. I start the lid/recess with the pencil line at 12 o'clock, cut to finish. Use the same spacer when cutting the base/tenon. I start with the line at about 10:30. Gets it pretty close every time. Don't understand why some one doesn't make a jig so the banjo stays in line and you don't have to fuss with it..... I won't make boxes much over about 1 1/4 inch diameter. Had one fall off my table at a show once and it was in the grass for 2 days. The lid would come off, but it had really moved. I would expect problems with a box that size. Oh, Bonnie used Bulls Eye spray lacquer for her inside finish. The smell from it is gone in a minute or three.

excellent video. I bought one of these a couple of years ago, but haven't used it yet because I couldn't find a good set of instructions on how to use it. I feel confident that I can try it now. Thanks!

Прекраснооо

They look awesome! Like and sub from me Feel free to check my videos out 👍

That's awesome! Looks like our tool! Ours restores/fix threads for any thread pitch, inch, metric & pipe. Please let us know if you want to review our products :)

Man, that’s satisfying to watch time lapsed. Nice work as always!

First time I see something like this. Almost like machining a gear. Dope ❤️

Were you using a 16 or 10 TPI jig in this video. The thread depth is different for each one. I am trying to relate that to the .06" you make the male OD larger then the female ID?

Hi. would it be possible to inform the reference of this cutter that was used to make the thread in these pieces of wood ??? I can't find any tool similar to this one here in Brazil.

Nice video. Thanks. I'm just wondering why you do the base first. Common wisdom on the internet seems to do the top first. Then if you screw up the second cut on the bottom you can easily redo the threads, unlike the top that would be a write off.

Very informative video! thanks so much!

Great job, thanks for sharing

The Wood-Whisperer. I enjoy seeing your creations. Amazing!!!

Very informative! Thank you!!

Good stuff buddy! This is how I like to turn mine!
