How to Turn a Simple Box on a Wood Lathe.

[@madonnakirby9101]

I'm a newbie and wondered how in the heck you got a top to fit the bottom and you answered it for me. You don't. You make the bottom fit the top. Another lesson learned. Thank you!

Great job showing the box process. Good explanation of sizing your jam chuck as well. The one thing you didn’t mention is that once the mating tenon is sized perfectly it cannot be sanded. How many boxes I’ve done with a French fit lid because of sanding the mating tenon. Now I will generally fit the tenon tight and then sand it to the fit I’m after. Lovely box. Keep it up.

Good tip Doug, Thanks for Watching!!!

Just getting back to my lathe ❤. Found your videos and just keep watching! Great guidance and explanation. Question. What tools do you recommend I get to start with. Thank you.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks for watching. It is hard to recomend tools but here goes for a budget tool the Henry taylor tools for higher end tools Carter and son or Thompson tools.

Looks nice but on video the decoration on top did not show up at least on my I pad

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks and you are right it does not show up well in the video on the splated wood. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@rogerdirkx.1679]

Dean, I enjoy your videos. There helpful, seeing helps me . I had a question on your video on home made sanding blocks. Where did you buy the self sticking Velcro? Thanks for your help. Roger D.

[@DeansWoodworking]

The best advise I can give you is to join your local turning club, They are always willing to help and many offer beginner classes. Good Luck and Welcome to Turning. Thanks for Watching!!!

Great video! How big was the blank when you started?

[@DeansWoodworking]

Very nice box. I stopped watching in the middle to view the build video for the hollowing tool. I have been watching your ornament videos lately. Pretty good stuff. Generally good production. Comment on this box. I like the box. You spent as much video time stating you were not going to show the sanding as the sanding would have taken. Better if you show a few seconds of sanding while explaining that you started with xx grit and progressed to xx grit. I really dislike when the presenter tells me what he is not going to show me. Not just you. Everyone does it. The burn rings would have looked better had they been symmetrical. The texturing disappeared in the spalting. Save the texture for plain woods. Thank you for sharing. have a great day and stay safe. Subscribed.
