Unusual wooden box / almost ruined it at the end

[@PoisonShot20]

Watching your reviews on lathes and you got me on the hook 😂 ! Sunday morning here in NY USA, leavings are falling outside at the same rate as the wood shavings from your lathe projects!😊 I'm relaxing here , drinking coffee while watching your videos! May God Bless you and yours brother in Christ! Just keep turning!🕊💪

Very nice looking box. That mishap at the end was heart-wrenching. Nice recovery from it. It's comforting to see that even very experienced wood turners have those kinds of incidents.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Mistakes often happens, there is a saying in Croatia, 'he who works ,makes mistakes' ... Its normal thing,its a way that you recover from it .... Thank you very much for comment and for watching 🤗

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

You are very skilled with a skew chisel, and nice save on the catch at the end. One thing I really like, is reverse chucking the base to finish off the bottom. I like that. Regards. Sam

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Sam 😀

[@brianfinlayson3410]

Such great tool technique, you can see the artist has been doing it forever....Beautiful

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Very much sir🤗

[@thomaskahan3922]

Thank you for warning us about the catch. It was almost as violent as a Tarantino movie... 😄 Beautiful work !

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂 thank you , it looked worse then it is.... Thank you for watching 🤗

[@jayscott306]

Whew! Great piece and I'm glad it wasn't the end of the vessel. That exact end grain entry cut was the last place I would regularly have a catch. Part of the problem was that it is always an obscured cut from my seated position. That, and I didn't realize my flute was open too far. A similar rounding cut/bead turning away from the headstock would also often catch on me for a similar reason combined with not raising my handle to make the curve as the cut is made. I was accidentally giving it a wing to bite into. Great fit on the lid!

Thank you Jay,very much 🤗

[@johnnyb95678]

Beautifully done, and thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly about recovering from mishaps. Thank you!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, glad you enjoy it ☺️

[@gfsimmons1]

Thank you for the honesty of you work. It gives encouragement to those of us without your skills

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to be of help.... Thank you for watching

[@ShevillMathers]

Another excellent demonstration including a catch and how you fixed it. I like all the ‘ooops’ moments because they show that even a master can have the odd one. It shows clearly why it happened, and it helps newcomers that it is all part of the learning process. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🇦🇺🦘

That is really elegant. I love your precision and the seeming ease with which you demonstrate it. Beautiful work. Best Wishes, Brendan,.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Brendan very much 🤗 ... Skew is pretty much always in my hand while I turn spindles.... Thank you once again 🤗

[@billm2158]

Lovely piece, well recorded. I felt that catch at the end!

Very nice little box! Great skew work that encourages more to use the skew more often. Thanks for sharing! Take care, Dave

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you mr.Dave 😀

Great looking box beautifully turned as always Kind regards From Will 😊

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Will very much 🤗

[@brettgl21]

I haven't tried it yet but an older turner told me that you can make a hollower from old hex keys. epoxy the long end in a handle and make the short end into a cutter. I am going to give it a try. I enjoy making my own tools. I attended a demo by Elizabeth Weber this week and she uses the box itself as the jamb chuck. Turns the top and then takes the box flange to size. Also,, she does beautiful work.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed she does, I usually do the same with the box part as a jam chuck but totally forgot as I was doing several things at once....😀.... I would be catious about using hex key as a tool.... Not beacuse of the steel but beacuse of the shape.... Its 90degrees short to long part and your contact area is of balance and its very easy to twist in your hands and break a wrist.... That is why cutting point is always in line with the handle.... hope that make sense😉... Thank you very much for watching and support what I do ☺️

[@brettgl21]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I will keep that in mind. thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.

Good looking box, it was reassuring that you still make mistakes occasionally!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, mistakes happens quite often, its a part of turning🤗

[@harrymellor8797]

Not exactly a how to video but there are lessons to learn, well rescued

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@tonyturnswood]

I have had that happen to me more than once... great recovery.. usually my pieces will loose a little height or diameter... 😛

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its part of turning and I consider catches as design opportunity 😅

[@pjseiber2774]

Very nice ❤

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

Cool brother

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 🤗

[@davidsadler7258]

Excellent video and technique. I learn something from every one of your videos. Q: what price point would you place on this piece?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that David..... Uff that is quite different beacuse shopping power in Croatia and close by countries are not that great.... If I would like to sell it I can't put price for this one more then 35-40euro..... In pretty much every other country I've seen this kind of boxes go for double..... It really depends on where you live and where is your market..... I hope to expand to ouside Croatia even more as with only 3,5milion people its easy to saturate the market..... Hope that makes sense 😀

[@randycosgrove3608]

Nice save! I like that little box. Did you put finish on the inside? If so how did you apply it?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I did same as on outside,just didn't show that well... Its odie's wax , little bit on 400 scotch bride pad and its melted with friction...vworks ok but still loving more the regular beeswax over oil for boxes... Thank you Randy, hopefully that helpes?
