Turning Coffee Caddie

[@bobraasch8699]

Wonderfully executed piece, Tomislav. I really appreciate your dialog as you turn.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@robertHerniak-xq8rk]

I love how you explain what you’re doing and the tools that you use. It gives me more confidence in My turnings and I get better results. Keep up the good work, Tom.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@vivianmorrow8828]

The inner lid elevates the tea caddy to soaring heights. It is truly lovely.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you soo much

[@chrispark3758]

What an excellent piece. I love how you explain everything. This is a project that I will be trying.

[@naturaIIydifferent]

I don't know about you guys in Europe, but in America, this would probably be used to hide your weed 😂 Nice work as usual, I really like the matched grain! Thanks to you and Richard explaining how to properly use scrapers, I do much less sanding now. You are appreciated 👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir, I think in Europe some will.use it for that as well😂

[@jimwhiting2267]

I am a coffee drinker and I can see using this to keep my coffee beans in. You did a really nice job on this project. Thanks for sharing!

[@mursleenalam1325]

Amazing project & great work

[@MillerWB87]

Excellent work!

[@lpvdsluis]

A real master. Thank you

[@johnwolf5288]

I have watched many of your videos. I've come to expect excellence in both your turning and your teaching. You don't disappoint! Excellent. Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@philippboetcher9959]

Using the jam chuck as an inside lid in the end just blew my mind!

[@burnleyize]

You are an EXCELLENT turner. Richard speaks VERY HIGHLY of you. Best wishes and stay safe.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that

[@baconsoda]

This is beautiful. I love how the inner lid shows the complete grain across the blank. That is a wonderful addition. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Brendan

[@Trashed20659]

Beautiful craftsmanship. What a great gift to keep tea fresh inside.

[@qapla]

Very nice, Tomi! I really like the inner lid. The matched grain is a really nice touch. Besides tea, this would work for coffee or cocoa powder. Thanks for the idea.

[@michaels775]

I don't know what the final boss of woodturning is, per se, but I think you're ready to face it

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂😂 thank you

[@arnonsinger6177]

Really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from you. If I may offer you something from my experience, Keep the resting tool away while using the saw. I broke sum teeth of my saw because of this mistake. By the way when I make a box like this I use a piece of leather (from an old belt) to avoid damaging the putter's catch. All the best ..

[@jayscott306]

Great turning, as always. That depth of hollowing is beyond my current ability. Not ashamed to use Forstners where I need to. About the design, it makes me appreciate the way things used to be done. Sealing a container, in this case. I've used standard size canning jar seals, before. It does limit size variation, somewhat. But people like the idea of a replaceable seal. But I want to make a stash jar for myself, in your design. :)

[@Janbacht]

I'm a Tea lover and woodturning addict for a year so this one is on my todo list, thanks for giving me a perfect example! Learning a lot from you. Very much appreciated.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Awsome to hear that

[@jorisdemoel3821]

It is very soothing to see a master at work and to see the wonderful end result. Many thanks for another entertaining and educational video

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Joris😉

[@STMwoodturning]

I just finished my second box and I’m having a hard time getting the lid fit correct. So challenging but you make it look easy Tomislav. Guess I’ll just have to keep practicing 😅

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That is true, but I'll do separe video on this topic as well

[@junulock]

Such nice work and you make it look so easy. Very excellent quality from an experienced hand. Thank you for sharing and your time.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir for watching

[@claudepotter7763]

Looks great thanks for the tips on turning the insides you make it look so easy

[@andyroberts2640]

That is a lovely piece Tomislav, the double lid really makes the difference.

[@c.a.chambers68]

Relly nice piece the grain is beautiful too

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great tutorial. I love the design.

[@racheldray1057]

I love making things like this and really like the inner lid. I'm definitely going to make one

[@jimneely4527]

Very nice work. /excellent fit and finish. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

A very nice lidded box, I am going to try to make my own copy of this project.

[@alanmckeown6462]

Excellent

[@billthompson9482]

Looks like a good gift project, Thanks for the idea.

[@jerrystark6766]

Excellent project. Excellent video. Thank you!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@stevenhansen8641]

🕶Very nice Tomislav.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Steven

[@jonathanmangold5024]

I LOVE your videos.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Jonathan

[@johnnyb95678]

A great project I can't wait to try. Thank you for the wonderful instruction and tips and tricks. Thank you!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Johnny

[@atelierbricoltout]

Vraiment top bravo À bientôt

[@Marman56-k5f]

Beautiful piece! The inner lid is such a nice touch. I noticed when you were hollowing that you had the tool rest above center and the scraper angled down. Will that work with a carbide tool? That looks like you can get a bad catch. I’m still learning and your videos are very informative, thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Honestly I don't use carbide tools but from What I know they are scrapers as well and they need that negative angle otherwise they will catch like standard scrapers. By tilting down tool slightly (in video its more then needed) you assure negative angle from top of the cutter to wood you are scraping.

[@Marman56-k5f]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you 🙏🏻 very much!

[@MrShaw-dn3un]

Another fantastic video, thank you for all of the quality content! What did you use for the finish?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its woodturning oil from Steinert

[@donnarobinson34]

I wonder after you do the first turn do you bring it to a warmer space to dry or leave in an area that is the same temperature? Thanks.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Usually I leave it in shop, if in hurry I would microwave few times

[@robertreihsen9096]

Great video. Thanks! Did the sanding dowel you used to sand the sides of the base also get the bottom?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That's correct, both sides and bottom

[@turningwiththewoods]

You ever microwave rough turned pieces? Very nice project.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I do , especially if I need that blank quickly, I did sometimes all sets in microwave

[@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING]

27:07 I held my breath, certain that your saw would hit the tool rest. Couldn't tell. Watched it again but looked at the wood dust on the rest. Yep, I knew it.😁

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

True, but it was only a light touch and no damage to rest, that saw is quite soft😉

[@gaboftak]

Hi.whats the best finish coating?so the tea will not get any smell from it?

[@bobraasch8699]

You may wish to try shellac, once dry the sealed container should not transmit odor to contents.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Oil is fine, any finish really even a non sealed wood should be ok.... as long its normal.woods like maple,ash,pear instead of something like teak or zabrano that has really distinct smell

[@alextopfer1068]

Do you pay any attention to the exact speed when turning? I always just go off feel, not a numerical value

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Just by feel,vibration, sound, but I never watch exact number or go by formula

[@pwest180]

Thank you for this! I've watched he'd twice now. I see a Tea Caddie in my future! Fantastic way to have the inner lid match, Instructional as always!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@tonyturnswood]

wow that stayed pretty round! what was the moisture content?

[@gaboftak]

That's endgrain container,so it's shrinking more evenly I guess.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

True ,it will.shrink more even but its was around 30% in summer and now its below 12.

[@mikulasbim2658]

Gurtool scraper Whats your opinion on it?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

This is actually their skew tgat I convert to scraper, so far great tool,or rather steel

[@bradbyers6865]

I wish Americans used these caddies more.

[@paulcross6962]

And Brits! It's all tea bags containing plastic particles!

[@terrydriskel9731]

Hi Tomislav. Fantastic video as usual. however i do have one criticism. I notice that you are often bring in new tools that haven't been seen before - ie the scrapper in this video. this a tool that I personally have not seen in any other of your videos. I have been turning for 20 years and I do not have the arsenal of tools that you have at your disposal

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Terry, well as woodturners we do accumulate tools over the years, its just square end scraper only a bit thicker, so not you what you trying to say? Honestly I won't apologize for having tools which I payed or got with extremely hard sacrifice and hard work. Its like saying to mechanic that he should not use proper lift because some other mechanic doesn't have it. Thanks for watching as always 😀

[@MichaelJohnstone-i2j]

What is the purpose of the inner lid? Can I buy you some new gloves?

[@AndrewMoizer]

He mentioned a while ago that he cut the fingers off on purpose. So they are probably now nicely broken in.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

As Andrew said, I did cut those on purpose as I can't wear gloves without any finger feel. And although these have several rips in it ,they are still ok , but I do appreciate offer😉

[@markduggan3451]

Your skill is undeniable, but forgive me for asking why two lids?

[@nemoemanon6679]

This confuses me as well. An inner lid seems to have no purpose to me. It looks nice and uses the excess tenon material but that’s all.

[@AndrewMoizer]

I’m assuming to give more of a seal to keep the tea fresh. I’m trying to figure out whether it’s a great idea, or something that would get old in a hurry having to take two lids off for every pot of tea. When you drink is much as we do, this could be significant 😅. That being said, it’s a very elegant solution, and something I’m hoping to try. I have enough dead and dying ash trees due to the Emerald Ash borer that I would never run out of wood in my lifetime.

[@naturaIIydifferent]

It's for freshness. Even though the outer lid is well fitted, the inner lid helps to keep the air out of the tea.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I think its mostly for freshness, I know Japanese make these kind of caddies and tgey have this inner lid, so client wanted something similar as well... but don't quote me on that😀😀
