Turning a Utility Box 2.0 (Woodturning Project How-To)

[@rodneymiller5141]

Great video Mike and I really like the new design. The box looks much more refined and no longer looks like a beginner project. Thanks again for a great video.

Great presentation Mike. Love the ‘improvements’. Definitely takes it to the next level. 👏

Great demo Mike, love your style! I will get out there and try the box!

[@eliotfeldman-zq2jk]

Absolutely fine presentation! Comparisons are always odious, but it is every bit as well done as those of, for example Richard Raffan. I like the trick of using same Forstner bit for the lid mortise to size the knob tenon.

Mike, what finishes are compatible with Scratch Free wax-based polish?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Most solvent based finishes will work great with scratch free. We typically use Waterlox, Deft, and Melamine lacquer over scratch free.

[@YimRath]

good

Tried to purchase the bead cutter, but there are no "bare" handles available. Must one buy an Easy Wood tool of some sort, remove the existing cutter and replace with the beading cutter(s)?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

That is correct, the cutters fit all Easy Wood Tools Ci2 tools.

I just bought the wen 4444 4 jaw chuck. For some reason when I mount my bowl to turn the inside, the blank comes out of the chuck. I thought maybe it was my tenon length being to short. Maybe not enough wood for the jaws to grab. Tried that and that did not work. Didn't know if anyone else had trouble with their chuck.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

I have heard people complaining of the grip strength with that chuck. It is a fairly small chuck, what size of bowls are you doing with it?

[@michaelyork3198]

It's a small bowl like a 4 inch bowl

[@Paddle124]

what paste did you use to stabilize the torn out grain? thanks so much

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

I used Scratch Free, here's a link to it: woodturnerscatalog.com/collections/waxes/products/dr-kirks-scratch-freee-woodturners-polishing-wax?variant=40619031330839

[@Paddle124]

thanks so very much

Great video, it is easy to follow what why and how. One thought I had, could one use some guitar string holding it in a loop with one side of the loop to the piece and burn into those rings on the bottom? One would have to hold the loop at just the right angle to the work, not 90 degrees.
