Fun little project and great dialogue as you go. Subscribed.

Nice little box, I think I've got some ends of branches that will do very well. Love the natural edge finish using the bark to best effect.

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

Thank you! I heat my shop with firewood so I always have a dry pile of branches. Normally I just cut 3-4 inches off the ends to get rid of any splits/cracks. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Hope you have success making some :)

[@jolilley3760]

I've been making boxes like this in clay for years. Just recently started wood turning. Glad I saw this. Looking forward to trying this. Thanks.

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

That’s awesome. My wife has done some clay work but I’ve never tried it. Hope the wooden ones work out for you. I have a wood turning fundamentals playlist that may be helpful to you as you learn to turn wood. I talk a lot of out the wood grain and what causes catches. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@jolilley3760]

@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle I'll definitely check it out.

[@danielemanuele5827]

Thank you for showing us your skill! Do you have a video explaining how to use the detail or spindle gouge?

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

You are very welcome. I talk about how to use it in several videos but I will make a video specific to the detail gouge. Stay tuned and thanks for the suggestion!

[@danielemanuele5827]

Thank you!

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

@@danielemanuele5827I just posted a how to video on detail gouges this morning.

Nice boxes! I have no idea why your channel hasn't been suggested to me before, because you check all my subscribe boxes. Good commentary, technique and video quality, plus you aren't afraid of your skews or showing your face. I'll be digging into your past videos.

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

Thank you! I’m not sure. I’m definitely a small channel but have been growing lately. Glad the KZbin algorithm finally allowed us to cross paths. At first I tried to talk while turning and that just didn’t work for me. So I think I prefer editing all the video and then doing the commentary on the final video cut. The viewers have given positive feedback on that method :)

[@jayscott306]

@woodworkingmcdanielstyle I just finished the filming of content to make a video for our local club, which will be uploaded in April. There's no question that we had some talking in person and sometimes where I'm going to have to do a voiceover because I was not speaking fluidly, with divided concentration. Anyway, I like your work and going to watch a lot more of your videos.

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

When I’m turning I sometimes can’t remember the name of the tool I’m grabbing lol. Thanks again for the support and hope you find more of my turning videos to be helpful.

[@Elyyfz450]

Thanks for sharing, I was thinking about making something similar but I didn't want to spend time on the lid. This way is as simple as it could be and I'm pretty sure I'll give it a shot. Thanks again. New subscriber.

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and the subscription. I’ve made a few more since the video and you want to make sure where you part the lid off is somewhat a steep angle. That way the lid diameter will be about quarter inch less than the bowl/box outside diameter. I did one where the angle was less steep and had to turn part of the lid off to shrink the diameter. No big deal but gives it a different look. My wife liked the look of the ones in the video more. How that makes since…

[@lewisdye1002]

Thanks for the idea! I've been looking to simplify my box making. Desert Driftwood Productions is coming on.

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

You are welcome! Yeah this is so simple, I’m wondering why we haven’t thought of this before. The normal box method is not hard but too many steps with the chuck to enjoy them. Thanks for watching and the comment. What is the “Desert Driftwood Productions” comment about?

[@kosspoetryandart-ke2ns]

These are cool. Do you do it with green or dried wood--and do you have trouble with them cracking?

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

I recommend using dry wood. If you do them thin enough wet they might not crack but will warp. Dry wood will give you a better experience I’m sure. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@ezetella5691]

Nice boxes Definitely gonna try and make these. Now I need a thin parting tool, thanks What quick release knobs do you use?

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

I like that cheap parting tool I have. It’s just a simple HSS one off Amazon. I use d-way tools handled with their quick change knobs. I have a video about tools with no handles that shows them off.

Very nice and simple box 😊 to try

Hope they work out for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@dwaiken975]

Very nice bo!. Did you mount the piece between centers initally to create the tenon and then flip it around? I'm definitely a new subscriber

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

No for most of these type projects I just mount the rough bark in the chuck. I use a chop saw to make sure the end going into the chuck is flat and the limb is somewhat balanced. Then put in the appropriate size jaws and start turning. If you want to mount between centers first, there is nothing wrong with doing that. For smaller spigot jaw type projects I would recommend making the tenon round by first turning between centers. I find the spigot jaws are not as strong. The larger jaws have a large shoulder of wood sitting against the bottom of the jaws that make things pretty solid. Thanks for watching and for the subscription!

Nice job, I like your explanations as you go

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

Thank you for watching and I really appreciate the feedback!

[@justinr9164]

Just curious how does the bark hold up over time?Does it stay on the piece?

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

I don’t understand what causes bark to hold or release. But you can normally tell if it is not going to hold on. I’m confident these will stay on for a really long time. You should be able to tell while turning them if the bark is on good or easily peels off. I’ve had really good luck with maple, sycamore, locust, walnut, peach, cherry all staying on well. Thanks for the question and for watching!

[@justinr9164]

@ thank you for your response and the video.

You are welcome! I try to answer all questions so if you watch any of my other videos, please ask.

what is wood butter

[@woodworkingmcdanielstyle]

It’s just wax and oil mixed together into a butter like firmness. Here is a video on how I make it. Also can make your own abrasive paste similar to Yorkshire grit. how to easily make food safe Wood Butter finish and abrasive paste for less $$$ kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZWppX-tj9Spqs0
