4 Boxes in this Hourglass - My Toughest Woodturning Project (Plans Inside!).

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Loved your blueprint, Kerry. Hard to do such a sequential project like your stackable box the first time without one (or 2d or 3d if it has been a while)! I think the grain pattern showed up nice on your cross grain boxes. I prefer end grain boxes for keeping a fit. What a wonderful community of international woodturners we have.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Mike. I used the plan/blueprint to help get my thoughts in order and figure out how I’d tackle it. It’s such a wonderful time to be part of this community, and I feel very fortunate and proud to be a part of it. Cheers, mate, Kez

You did an excellent turn on the timber and the finish is spot on!

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you, Jim. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment, mate. Cheers, Kez

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

Great to see some other variations on one of our 4-Ways projects - and a different approach, one I hadn't considered. I think the top of your stack is crying out for a domed lid or finial... try that on the next one.

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you for your comment, Richard; it really means a lot coming from you. Funny enough, I actually made a finial for the prototype and put it to a vote, but it got overwhelmingly voted out. I was thinking the same as you, though. Maybe the shape I made just wasn’t quite right. Thanks again for your support. Cheers, Kez

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

@@KerryCorney In that case, I'd say trust your own judgement, Kez.

[@KerryCorney]

@ You’re spot on there, Richard. Thanks for the support. I hope you’ve been keeping out of the heat; it’s been hitting 40 most days in the shop. With that tropical humidity, you can practically cut with a knife. Cheers, Kez

[@markbryan9989]

Always thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your quirky sense of humor is refreshing. Job well done and has me thinking about doing something similar. Thanks Kerry.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mark. I really need to make an uncut version sometime! Unfortunately, I have to cut so much out, but it’s got me thinking about turning those bits into short little videos. Absolutely give it a go. 👌 Cheers, mate. Kez

Job well done Kerry. Love watching you young blokes keeping the dream alive. I've just playing in my shed on the lathe and here you are doing the same. Keep up the good work cobber.🤠

Woodturners really seem to *enjoy* what they do. I will use the contrasting paper idea. I like that.

[@KerryCorney]

I truly feel blessed to do what I do. Woodturning is a wonderful craft, loved by so many. Thank you for leaving a comment: the paper contrast trick has been a big help for me too. Cheers, Kez

[@stewlu]

very well done Kerry, I like the way you have taken the time to explain the philosophy of your project can't wait for more of the same

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you for the support! I'm glad you like the planning process. I’ll be sure to keep sharing my thought process as the videos roll on. For me, I like reading and understand maps and plans. So I figured other people out there might too. Glad you liked it mate. 🤝

[@johnnyb95678]

Turned out great and thanks for sharing the design process and then execution. You ROCK! Thank you for sharing.

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you for the support and for checking out the video, Johnny! More than happy to share. Hope you have been well. Cheers, mate. Kez

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Mate, lovely idea and great execution on your idea for stackable boxes. Second, thank you for kind words and lovely compliments, I do look forward to see 3 more ways of doing challenges. Great idea guys and stay safe.

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you, Tomislav, It was a fantastic project, and I appreciate you fellas for sparking the idea. 👌 Hope you have been well and keeping warm🤝 Kez

@KerryCorney thanks buddy, weird winter this year,its cold but not cold enough for this time of year. Is it extremely hot summer in Australia?

[@jimgeelan5949]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturningbanter around the world 😊😊 lovely 🥰

[@KerryCorney]

I don’t mind our winters, but they’re not really winters compared to yours, it doesn’t get below zero here.😏 It’s been so hot lately, close to, if not 40 degrees most days in the workshop, even with all the doors open. The worst part is the humidity; it’s that tropical kind, so once you start sweating, you stay wet for ages. The air feels super thick, hahaha. 🌴 But honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way!🤝 Cheers, mate, Kezza

[@KerryCorney]

@ This is a pretty cool community we all have, hey!

[@earlbishop2314]

Well done Kerry! I like your story board and really impressed that you followed it (shows you are a pro). Most of my turnings never finish the way I originally planned in my head. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Take care and stay healthy and safe my friend.

[@KerryCorney]

[@qapla]

Nice looking box tower, Kez. The shape is nice as well as interesting. You did a great job turning those boxes and explaining your process. Here's a thought. If you make a mortice (inset) on the bottom box for a smaller chuck, it gives you a way to hold that box on a small chuck and stack the other boxes with a jam-plate on your tailstock. Then, when you are finished, use a "logo coin" to fill the mortice at the end. I made a set of 3 straight-sided boxes that all stack in any with a lid that fits which ever box is on the top. These were seasoning boxes (salt, pepper and another spice) for my daughter. I inset a milliput ring around the side of each box (one black, one white and one orange) so you would know what was inside before you opened the box. The music was a nice touch. Good selection and not too loud. Well Done!

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you so much for the great feedback; I really appreciate your comments. The main reason I like using tenons in the bottoms of my pieces is that they’re stronger, but I’ve seen those logo coins before, and they’re pretty cool. The box you made sounds amazing. That’s one of the best parts of this craft; being able to create heirloom items that stay in the family forever. Thanks again for your support, mate. Cheers, Kez

[@STMwoodturning]

I’m really impressed with this project Kerry. I’m currently working on my second box form and getting the correct fit for the lid has been quite difficult for me. The cedar you used is gorgeous! I also like that you planned out the project beforehand. I NEVER do that 😂😂. Just slap a piece of wood on the lathe and see what happens. Lots of lessons for me in this video. Also enjoy the format and jazz music in the background. Keep up the good work 👏🏼👏🏼

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Stuart. I’m really looking forward to hearing feedback from the main crew. I’m usually the same; just throw a piece on and get straight into it. But for this one, I had to plan it out, not just to get my thoughts on paper but also to help others understand what I was doing. More for me though, haha. 😎 The jazz music was definitely going to be a hit or miss🎯. Cheers, mate, Kezza

[@brettgl21]

Great video and great work brother!

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you so much brother! Hope it out a smile on your dial👌😎🤝

[@BobBlarneystone]

For boring to a desired depth, I place a snug rubber O-ring on the drillbit at the desired position back from the tip. I also use O-rings on the shank of router bits to keep them from dropping too far into the router's collet.

[@KerryCorney]

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing, mate. Sometimes I just use my finger to gauge the depth on the drill bit and go from there; nothing too technical on my end, haha. Cheers, mate! Kez

[@FRBPturning]

Nice job and great idea using the story board to plan. I’m stealing that!

[@KerryCorney]

@@FRBPturning thanks for leaving some feedback mate. Steal away! I slowed the footage down at the end during the after action report for a screen shot👌🤝😎 Cheers, mate. Kezza

@KerryCorney I'm am engineer so I do sketches all the time for other projects but not usually for turnings. But this one definitely warranted it.

Nicely done Kerry. Yes, I wait in anticipation for the 4 ways videos, especially RIchard and Tommi, and it's interesting to see the different interpretations of the themes they come up with. Along with the tips and knowledge each of them share. And now, you add more to my watchlist, awesome stuff. Thanks for the lunchtime entertainment.

[@jordanarmstrong4839]

Great project. When you are hollowing out the "bowl" of the boxes were you leveraging the gouge against the rim as you were getting to the bottom? It looked like you were but the angle was a little tough to tell for sure. Seems like that would be a good way to steady the tool into the bottom. I always love the humor in your videos. the look into the camera after another one of the boxes slipped out of your had as you were parting off really got me. Great stuff.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much for leaving a comment and feedback, Jordan. 🤝 The bevel is always rubbing when cutting down the wall, but when the rim gets in the way, I climb up from the base and then come back toward the base/centre. I avoid letting the tool shaft rub on the rim because the material can crack. I always leave my mistakes in for that exact reason. It not only shows my faults but also lets me have a laugh at myself, haha. I think too many people edit them out, which takes away that sense of realness. Cheers, mate, Kezza
