Everyone has its favourite thing to make, THIS IS MINE

The reason I like to demo this kind of cross grain boxes is beacuse on this little gem you have all the cuts happening on cross grain work but on smaller scale and with more finess...
Enjoy

The lines of bowl and lid are nice exercise , simple lines Your choice of black walnut for knob was perfect The simple plum shape low knob is spot on So many turners make tall thin showy finials This knob will now be added to a small trinket box that I have been making for my wife also from maple with wax finish

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

Hi Tomislav. I have just started turning. I was having trouble presenting a gouge to the wood. I really had trouble hollowing lidded bowls.bmy chisels weren't cutting. I had all my tools sharp. I watched your video on lidded bowls. I watched it over and over and over until I realized how you start your cuts and how you follow thru with your shear push cuts . My knowledge tripled. It was a giant leap in my abilities. Thank you so much my friend

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Really appriciate that and glad I could help out.... Thank you for kind words 🤗

[@mikemiller8736]

Most youtube turners say never use a spindle gouge on side grain work. Only use them on spindle end grain work. Quite amazed at what you do. 👍🏻

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I would say that most people don't know the differents between spindle gouge which I use or my mentor or spindle roughing gouge with big deep flute in U shape....that is the tool to avoid using on cross grain work.... But I can see how turners get mistaken by the two but this regular spindle gouge is great tool for cross grain work.... Thank you sir for watching and comment 😀 I really appriciate that

[@johnnyb95678]

Great little box beautifully executed. I also really appreciate the way you walk us through your thought process. The knob is a perfect example. Thank you for sharing.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Johnny,really appriciate the support and time you took to watch my videos

[@jayscott306]

I like that form, too. I think what you said at the end explained why, it has as much detail and skill as you want to include. I really liked the unexpected shape of the foot.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Jay😀

[@scottmedori1437]

This bowl demonstrates how small details, like the beads, can really dress up a bowl.

[@edeyden1326]

Nice job Tomislav. I love boxes like that and you turn it so easily! I always learn something new each time I watch. Going to go find those maple blanks in my shop and get turning!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 😀 enjoy in making your box 😀

[@jimgeelan5949]

Your simplistic approach to thing’s others would panic over is amazing 🤩 and yes I said the same word bulbous I normally put the knob back in the chuck and turned the same one down, but what ever rocks your boat 😂 again you might not know but the amount of knowledge you have just past on ( because you just do it and take it for granted ) is brilliant. Thanks Tomislav, I’ll buy you another beer when I pass your workshop 😂

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Jim, really appriciate that ☺️

[@jonathanmangold5024]

I marvel at your mastery of the tools,

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir....its just practice

[@johnkriplean1148]

Beautiful box. The beads add a really nice touch.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful box. Live the over hanging lid and all the beads. Great work.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Doug☺️

[@copperowlwoodturning5929]

Beautiful cross grain box, Tomislav. Great job turning, explaining and most importantly enjoying yourself. This is the best part about watching your videos. 😊😊

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, glad you like it 😀

[@davidanderson5767]

You seem to be in a professional renaissance . Your feel for lines, shapes, shadows and planes is exceptional

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you David, I still have a lot to learn and find my "voice" in design....🤗

[@SteveWagner-re8bn]

Love it. Once again you make it look easy. Thank you for sharing your talent

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@stephenpeck5076]

Very nice design. Love the beads. You have a fantastic talent making the manufacture of these items look easy. Like the fact that you are like Richard Raffen and constantly alter designs as you go along to make them more interesting.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, I really appriciate that ☺️

[@richardbufton3605]

Beautiful little box. Something I love to make are boxes

[@edwardukleja4583]

Hi Tomislav, I made a very similar box for my daughter recently. I enjoyed your recent videos about scrapers, as a result I converted an old skew, 12mm x 8mm thick, to a negative rake scraper. I have been surprised by how well it worked and how useful it is. Once again, Thank You.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I'm honored to help out, glad to hear that and enjoy your new scraper☺️

[@markduggan3451]

Very nice. I think you were right to make the knob smaller.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, I think so to🤗

[@gordongroves6674]

A really beautiful design and crafted by a Master of the art - thank you for sharing.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 🤗

[@user-qr1gp3qw2n]

Very clean. Glad to see you 😊

[@hayesrutherford9415]

New subscriber. You inspired me to make a woodturning video on my favorite thing to make, a salt bowl.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that 🤗 thank you for watching

[@greggerstner5599]

Hey Hayes, I know you from the WoWies. You've subscribed one of the best channels on KZbin. And I'll be looking for the salt bowls. Tomislav, as usual, excellent.

[@hayesrutherford9415]

Thanks Greg, leave a comment so I know you were there! This is an all good channel!@@greggerstner5599

[@jasonmontgomery8180]

Great video

[@SpunbyGreenJeans]

Thank you for sharing! Our videos are very instructional and a joy to watch. Like all your explanations as you are turning.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 😀

[@waynenickoleff9041]

Tomislav, Nice little box, would make a great lidded sugar bowl too. Take care, Wayne

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Wayne☺️

[@jackthompson5092]

Beautiful little box Tomislav.

[@daveurban1018]

That could be a great gift project.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, lovely gift

[@pjseiber2774]

Great video beautiful bowl/box.

[@jimgill1105]

Excellent demonstration Tomislav - lots of design tips.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@seamusday1964]

great video and really nice project. I am going to give that a go!

[@jorisdemoel3821]

What a lovely box, and as always very instructive and enjoyable to watch. I hope you can use that bigger knowb for another project. Thanks for the video.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its on standby for another box, nothing goes to waste... Thank you Joris

[@Bunk599]

I enjoyed watching you make your favorite. It is very nice. A good gift but I expect those close to you have several by now.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Not a lot of my family have my work as I sell it or try it to sell as soon as possible but the closes family has there fair share of my work 😉

[@MarklTucson]

That is a beautiful piece, the shape is really nice. ... the beads inside the lid take decorating the lid to a whole new level. I really like your exposition of your thoughts as you work through the design when you are doing these videos; it really helps give ideas of design considerations for projects. When you hollowed the inside of the base to make a curved bottom, what was the reason for choosing to use a square end scraper rather than a round nose scraper to get the curve?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much for watching and support what I do 🤗 I use square end as its really shallow curve and its easier to do it like that and I have a corner at the bottom so square end help there as well🤗

[@cobberpete1]

Very nice box / bowl. When I use a set diameter drill bit, for the mortice for the knob, etc. I have a cheap set of spanners ( wrenches), which corresponds to the drill bit and saves a little bit set up messing around to get the right measurement. I learnt this trick from Mike Peace quite a few years ago.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I have it as well but for this its really easy and simple to grab caliper as they are right next to me 🤗

[@jflemingsandiego]

A true Raffan student. A flute about 1" long :)

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂 ohh its even shorter😉

[@anthonygreen9609]

Very nicely done.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks ☺️

[@brucecraig4954]

You have a great set of hands.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

[@vidarreiersen4820]

Very nise box and video⚙

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@user-qf9cg5xq9g]

Looks like the super dome in new orleans

[@user-qf9cg5xq9g]

Without the finial

[@MASI_forging]

Nice work dude, such a beautiful piece of wood 😍😍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks 😀

[@manjitsaimbi3730]

I always learn something new from your videos. I notice that you have a wooden sleeve around the shaft of the tool rest. What is the reason for this?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you,glad to hear that This is the video about that sleeve kzbin.info/www/bejne/iISlp2Smiaqoiacsi=EYPs2utZ2IQCZlIp

[@roycampbell1905]

I love seeing how your spindle gouge is getting smaller and smaller. I think it will be worn out by April 15th.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂 could be even sooner as now just a milimetar or so has left in it....☺️

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

Tom, could you give us the approximate diameter and thickness of these box blanks? Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No problem, both blanks were 2inch or 50mm thick and 5,5inch diameter if not mistaken.

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

You have helped me so much. I can't say this enough.....THANK YOU MY FRIEND !!!!

[@Monstrito59]

As usual, great looking box but I thought it was dangerous to use spindle gouges on bowls. I thought i'd never enjoy making small bowls. Thanks for your gift of knowledge.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

They are safe to use, but it does work little bit different then bowl gouge.... Thank You for watching and support what I do

[@Monstrito59]

Stay safe out there my friend

[@garyjohnson9297]

Looking closely at the spincle gouge being used , it has a shaft of solid round tool steel and not a drop forged tang like a file of many spindle gouges and is as strong or stronger than many bowl gouges

[@nemoemanon6679]

Very nice lidded box. Was the dark wood caused by bark inclusion? It happens when a branch doesn’t develop correctly and bark forms within the trunk.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Yes, it is, I just could not find a word😅

[@johnh5463]

Just watched with the sound off lol because my wife is doing something , as a new turner I appreciate all you vids they are a great help can I ask where you are located? Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you John, I'm from Zagreb Croatia 😉

[@woodbutcherjc]

Excellent job. Enjoyed watching it. I just turned a little box out of maple but had some problems with tear out and had to do more sanding than I would have liked. I'm assuming maybe my scraper was sharp enough. What would be your thoughts? Thanks.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Could be that the tools are dull or on scraper that you don't have nice burr, when burr is gone and you use maple it likes to pull out grain.

[@harveypflugerh5901]

Looks like you got your moneys worth out of the spindle gouge, maybe we’ll see those beautiful crown tools soon. Do you do anything with the gouges at the end of their life?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Ohhh I use crown bowl gouges all most of the time ☺️ Probably this spindle gouge will be beading tool after he's done😀

[@kevinvieyra7468]

Have you talked about drying wood? Like these 2 pieces... do you seal?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks for suggestion, I'll make a video on that topic as well.... Sometimes I seal and most of the time I don't..... Depends when the tree was fallen and how much moisture it has...but I'll do more in depth on video soon

[@pouldes]

I have become an avid follower of your turnings. I shall be sad to see you have to retire that gouge soon. Have you done a video explaining the wooden collar on the rest post?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, appriciate that ☺️ No I haven't do it yet,its on schedule so soon😉

[@bobwebberkc]

Could you help me understand why you turn bowls with a “ spindle” gouge and not a “bowl” gouge?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Spindle gouges are cheaper,in my hands they work close to bowl gouge, I just like using them and when I started out we could not buy bowl gouge here in Croatia, so tradicionally cross grain work was done using continental gouges....hope that make sense ☺️

[@bobwebberkc]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning thank you! I love your content. My early instructors forbid the use of spindle gouges Fot hollowing bowls due to the wider flute and catches and the spindle gouges have tangs typically not continuous rod of HSS like a bowl gouges!

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

Tomislav. I'm having trouble starting a cut on the side between the foot and top. My chisels seem sharp to me. I have no problem with a scrape or shear cut with my bowl gouge. Can't start and stay in the cut from bottom to top. What am I doing wrong?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its hard to help without visuals,but what usually happens is too much pressure against the wood and it wants to push gouge away....try finding that spot that push the gouge away and just hold the gouge and let the wood go over the gouge, without forsing anything.... Once you cut away that uneven surface you will be able to continue on.... I'll put this on the list of topics for videos, so you can expect something soon

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

Thank you for helping me . I wish I lived close to you and maybe you could be like a mentor to me. I don't know how to thank you. I look forward to your next video. You are so kind.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

@@joepapalia-xs1ds no worries, feel free to ask if you have throubles, if I have the time I'll be glad to help

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

I figured it out by reading your text. Thank you. (I'm still looking forward to the video that you talked about.

[@robertreihsen9096]

Beautiful turning! Ever thought of a career in neurosurgery?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂 thank you, I'm not good with latin so I won't be a good doc😂

[@user-qk2hw9zj1s]

Привет, Томислав! Ты, как всегда, на высоте: мастерское владение инструментом, классный дизайн, прекрасный результат! В видео ты используешь пластину с абразивом для правки режущей кромки. Как правильно она называется? Это альтернатива заточному кругу или ты пользуешься этим для того, чтобы меньше отвлекаться на заточку? Спасибо.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, its called diamond hone, this credit card size hone is from WOODCUT, it does not replace grinder,its to touch up tools and raise the burr when needed.
