Beautiful piece Sam

[@MarklTucson]

Really appreciate seeing how you chucked the boxes without marking them.

[@dtork47]

Sam, all really nice boxes including your Brides! I need to think ahead more and incorporate tenons as part of the design! Snow coming our way over here! Stay well.....

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Great box, Cheryle! Yours are nice too, Sam!

[@carolriley8472]

Fun video to watch...love all the little boxes!

[@glencrandall7051]

Excellent piece of work Sam. I really like to see little boxes. This one is especially nice. Nice figure and color. Ash is such an interesting wood.👍👍Nice gallery at the end of the video. You have some excellent pieces there. Kudos to Cheryl. She really did quite well. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Beautiful little box Sam.

[@trurex007lee7]

All delightful shapes!

[@PHIL_S]

Always looking forward to your video releases - fun and informative!

[@randyrockwell6136]

Good video Sam …. I really like the shape of the box 👍🤠

[@richbulak7145]

Sam another solid video! Keep 'em coming I learn so much.

[@orgcoast5990]

Sam: I could not help but notice how much you use scrapers. I like to use them but have a devil of a time getting the burr correct. Do you have a preferred way to sharpen scrapers?

[@jimbalz3017]

Good stuff! Just the right level of detail. Not sure about that stuff at the end??

[@alanmullock381]

P.S. no sound for last couple of minutes ☹️

[@E.F.Woodturning]

I really like the shape and wood of your box. I always find it difficult to get minimal jaw marks on the boxes when gripping them by the base. It looks like yours was all good.

[@alanmullock381]

Great job Sam!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@oldcharlie5533]

Thank you sam..I did notice the richard raffin influence ..he is a master like you..

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Richard Raffan is in a class all by himself. But thank you for the compliment. He really taught me how to turn 30 years ago. I have all his videos, VCR, tapes and books sam

[@anthonygreen9609]

Hi Sam. For us Brits....what is True Oil....Mineral oil?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

True oil is a brand name for a gun stock finish. I just bought some and started using it lately. I like it a lot thanks, Sam.

[@ericmoorehead1100]

Well done, both your video and the box. Curious, why the choice of the tenon on the lid vs the body? Most all videos and books I read have the tenon on the base.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Eric You are very observant.... First the base-I intended to NOT put a tenon on the bottom but chuck it up directly in my 3 inch jaws. (This is a Richard Raffan approach). This worked very well. On to the top: I sometimes chuck and rechuck and reverse chuck an element in a project. I put a tenon on the lid where I eventually put the handle detail. It may seem I have extra steps in a project but perhaps it is just how I do things. I put an area (expansion recess) on the underside of the lid as well. When turning one must look forward and anticipate turning each element. Thanks for watching my videos. Sam

[@Terry-tree]

What a thrill to watch the box I now own being created! Thank you!

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Thanks for leaving a comment Sam

[@oldgeezer1746]

Is this one of the exceptions for using a spindle gouge on cross grain work?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I don’t feel there are hard and fast rules about using or not using a spindle gouge on Cross grain work. Watch Richard Raffan’s videos and he turns bowls, and everything else with the Spindle gouge.

[@davidmorgan7522]

Great little boxes Sam! Cheryle's is very nice! She does a good job! Hope this new storm doesn't treat you guys too bad! Take care, Dace

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Dave, yeah we’re looking forward to it. All hunkered down always warm in the shop. Have a great Christmas

[@davidmorgan7522]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Be nice to Cheryl and maybe she'll plow you a path to the shop! Lol! What sized blades does your bandsaw use? You guys have a great Christmas also!

[@tomcoker9882]

By any chance have you watched Richard Raffan demo? Nice work. Thanks for the video. Cheers, Tom

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Hi Tom, yes, I watch all of Raffan’s videos. And I have turned lots of this kind of box over the years mainly from watching Richard Raffan’s videos and work.

[@tomcoker9882]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER I also watch Raffan’s videos, yours and a few others which has greatly expanded and improved my turning abilities. Thanks for sharing all your videos. 👍 Now if only you would just find a comment selector that liked my name better for your “Notes” give always. 😉 Cheers, Tom

[@E-Glide]

Richard Raffan did three or four videos on cross grain boxes in the last month. Worthwhile checking out.

[@missteeturns]

Lovely cross grain box which I also like to turn. I do enjoy your videos, they're very entertaining.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Thanks Mis Tee Sam
