When Life gives you Broken Skateboards : Making of

Woodturning, Making, Creating:
I show you how I made a lidded box out of mahogany, skateboard, and black walnut. I purposely chose to offset the skateboard stripe to give this piece a unique asymmetric look. Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching!

Cracking project, Mike. Love the asymmetric design - it really makes it top-notch. The shape has a really gorgeous....and the finish? Well, what can I say....you're using the best products on the market! ;-) All the best, see you in Portland, Martin

[@GetSquarewTomJolley]

Man this was one of the most satisfying KZbin videos I have seen in a long time. Love the little pot/box, looks great and has inspired me to do some more work on the lathe. What lathe are you using, looks like a nice set up. Good Job, Thanks for Sharing!

[@MichaelZurcher]

Wow!!! Thanks so much for the kind words! Hahaha I never know if it's called a pot or a box....just something to put stuff in...lol Really glad to hear you got inspired to do more on the lathe!! I am using the Laguna 24/36. I have another video of the unboxing on my channel for that lathe. So far I am really happy with it! Cheers

[@GetSquarewTomJolley]

Michael Zurcher I see you have some pa plates hanging. Are you anywhere near Pittsburgh?

[@MichaelZurcher]

I am about 5 to 6 hours from Pittsburgh...Much closer to Philadelphia.

[@lucioaybar6314]

Sabes loas mates que haria con una maquina asi no?

[@MichaelZurcher]

I don't understand, sorry :(

[@morgancalvi6675]

It looked REALLY good with the foot...it's a shame you took it off.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Love the way you did the final foot though. Many wood turners just do them flat. Plates and bowls have a ring, inside and out.
