Turning a Coin Box

[@phillight2008]

Agree with what others have said, Mike. Leaving in all the little mess-ups that we all make adds great value to your presentations. Some well-known turners NEVER make a mistake in a video - which, to me, means they edit them out. Thanks for being humble.

[@tonyturnswood]

I love how you leave the common issues a home turner would have (catches, missed diameters, chatter ) really helps understand how the project will go. You are a great instructor!

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Hey Anthony, Thank you for watching! Tag us on Instagram if you make a coin box I'd love to see it! -Mike

[@tedspens]

11:32 Wow, I like that box scraper! Look at them ribbons!

[@rodneymiller5141]

Thanks for the great project, Mike. I really like that you leave all of your mistakes, (uhh, design changes), in the video. The catches, the running gouge, making the tenon too small, these are real-life issues for someone like me. And you are good enough to make a joke about it and laugh at yourself. You are a wonderful instructor and it would be an honor for anyone who was fortunate enough to take one of your classes.

Thanks for explaining the tools and how they work.

[@alansmith477]

Thank for another great lesson. I have struggled with box lids fitting properly. It’s good you shared that everyone can struggle with this. Your tips will help a lot on my next project. You are an excellent teacher.

[@sirmesalot]

I would like to compliment you on being one of the best video instructors I have watched. You address practically every single thought and detail that comes to mind. Thank you for your hard work in producing these very informative videos.

Once again my friend you have hit it out of the park. My best pieces of artwork have always been the ones that took up the most time.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thanks for watching Ed!

[@mashmade-airth]

Hi from Airth in Central Scotland. As a completely new turner your instructions were fantastic & really helpful & educational. Guaranteed that I'll be watching your videos to learn stuff. Cheers Mike 👍

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thank you for watching! -Mike 😊

39:50 When this happens I cut a small groove in the tenon and add a large rubber O ring. It gives a good tight fit with a bit of give.

[@beav1962]

Interesting project. The dyed maple looks nice.

[@kathymoser9750]

Thanks for sharing. Your knowledge and technique is very helpful.

I like how walnut looks. So I love all the tables and the end table.

Great realtime presentation

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thank you kindly! 😊

[@garyjohnson9297]

Due to my sensitivities to dust , I use a cheap 1 inch natural bristle brush to clear shavings , air hose aerosolizes the dust usless you have a dust extractor, or the old household cyclonic vacuum hose

[@markanderson2713]

Hey Mike, I’ve learned more from you in this video than any other video I’ve watched. Thanks. Also I made myself a coin box.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

That is awesome to hear! -Mike 😊

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Great video and love those box designs! Very creative and practical.

Rocking video, Mike! You do such a great job and make a hack like me feel like I can do this, too. Best part for me was “Dammit!” Cheers buddy!

Great job as always Mike-to quote Tim Yoder, “You can’t learn from perfect, that’s why you watch me.” Thanks for the lessons on patience and composure. Turning for an audience is a different animal than just kicking it at home. Regards to Kirk DeHeer.

Excellent turning and lots to learn. I thank you for your tips.

Thanks 👍 Glad you liked the video!

[@CreationsDiSi]

Your explainations are so clear! Love the project I'll do one! 🤩 Thanks

[@michaelholmstrom7677]

Great video and instruction. I highly recommend a 90 degree drill for sanding, really reduced my sanding time and increased the quality of my turning.

[@laceyhansen1815]

Great instruction, love your videos. I am going to make this for my granddaughter, but I think I will glue the pieces together, and maybe do a decorative design where the pieces fit. Thank you for sharing your expertise.😊

[@SteveShivik]

Thank you so much for leaving your mistake in there. I often get discouraged as a newbie and it helps a lot to see people who have great skill have little oops moments too and then how they recover :)

[@trurex007lee7]

Great instructions and design.

[@jonlanier_]

Great idea... I think I can run off that. I think gluing the halves together would be an idea since the coins are easily retrievable.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

That's a great idea! The boxes I made for myself were a very tight fit as I didn't want the lid to easily come off. Tag us on Instagram if you make one, I'd love to see it! -Mike

It's amazing how much the inlay adds to the overall beauty of the project. Great job, as always!

Hi Mike -- Have learned so much from you and your colleagues. Thank you! I am a novice woodturner. Will you be having any in-person workshops in 2023?

[@josephmreeves2962]

New to your channel what name brand tools do you use . Yours is s very good teaching channel. Mike

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

I use the Henry Taylor M42 Stay Sharp tools for the most part. -Mike 😊

[@paulgreen2863]

I love this video. There were lots of reasons why and why not. Like, wide open flute at the edge of a rim and rotate as you move inward. I like the change box. Everything was explained well, all the way down to moving your tools. Question. Do you kiln dry you wood?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thank you for watching! We get a fair amount of our material kiln dried before it gets to us. The rest we cut, seal, and let air dry. -Mike 😊

[@garyjohnson9297]

An anti fatigue mat under lathe foot area helps prevent tool damage

[@paintilludrop]

The ads pop up are in my view..dislike that. Love your teaching

[@mdaley3102]

Nice job and a nice piece. Your work is always perfection. Any suggestions for those of us that don’t have the huge four jaw chuck you have so the piece can still have the wide base. Thank you

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

On the base, leave enough material so that you can turn away the tenon when finishing the bottom of the box if using a smaller chuck. For holding the lid, you could turn a small recess on the underside of the lid to expand into.

[@amyhoward1439]

Why didn’t you raise the tool bar for the peeling cut on the tenon

[@amyhoward1439]

When you used a scraping cut with the flute closed to true up the end before hollowing the piece. Did you just have the lower wing contact the wood? Assuming if the top wing had contact there would be a catch.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Scraping with the flute closed is cutting with the lower wing. You can also drop the handle a bit and get more of a "slicing" cut if you need to leave a cleaner surface.

[@martinm3474]

In adjusting the tendon, a problem could be with the eye-hand wanting to follow the previous line. Difficult to make a step less than the established line getting your fit.

[@pb-bx1ll]

Great video thank you

[@TheAcidmyers]

what size holes do you drill with each screw.... I have had trouble with blanks not staying secure with this chuck....

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

1/4" Hole for the 3/8" screw and 3/8" hole for the 1/2" screw.

[@martinm3474]

on sanding the tear outs, do you sand mostly with the grain or against grain?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

The biggest concern sanding tearout is creating a divot or low spot. I usually try to sand in an X pattern across the tearout to blend it with the surface around it. -Mike

[@jackeisler4067]

nice job,

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

thank you

[@erictownsend4236]

After reading the title, I hoped to see a project which would separate the coins per their denomination. Not so. Oh well, i will keep using box I have to keep change in, till I find one which will separate coins out. Beautiful box though!

[@garyjohnson9297]

I like your step but step instruction and hints on how to use tools . But just a trminder , remove the cone live center so you dont gouge your elbow on it

[@jamesc2212]

What lathe is that

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

It is a Powermatic 3520C.

[@mjn55128]

As usual, great tutorial, very inspiring, chock full of tips for improving technique. However I lost interest when you broke out the dye 😝

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thank you for watching! I'm on the fence about the dye myself. If you turn a coin box, tag us on IG i'd love to see it! -Mike

I am surprised that you left the live center in the tailstock and left the tailstock on

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Hey Gary, I probably should have taken the center out of the tailstock. Good spot! -Mike

[@Traceyhepler71]

I LOVE how you teach, but an advertising break every 6 minutes is more than I can stand. I often skip to the parts I need to watch closely just to avoid ads. How do I make them go away?!

[@fritzreimer7933]

Run a KZbin channel cost money, adds help pay for it.

[@Traceyhepler71]

@fritz reimer there is such thing as too much. If people don't watch the video due to constant breaks for ads, nobody is making money. I don't mind ads, but one every 6 minutes on a 2 hour video is a lot!

[@gregmislick1117]

Ecologically, the bio brick has a bigger carbon footprint. That said, the bio brick turns a waste stream into a fuel source and potentially offsetting their own carbon footprint by reducing fossil fuel consumption They are handy, my 78 year old parents find them handy for starting the fire - 3 bricks in a table arrangement will light with a match and durn long and hot enough to just add logs.

[@Thesotochannelblock]

If it's ever loose i just use a paper towel between the two pieces to add enough filler to make them snug .

[@mjn55128]

Yeah but when it’s looser than you want the finished product to be that doesn’t really solve it.

[@dldrick]

Mike needs to learn how to made a jam chuck.
