Really nice box. I love working with walnut.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks 👍It is not one of my favorites as it can sensitize you to otther woods that can cause respiratory problems down the road.

[@jeanlong4285]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I'll be sure to wear my respirator. The wood has so much character.

I always love the way you use the tools and how you have master them ! Thanks a lot for sharing brother!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

My pleasure. Good practice makes perfect!

[@dougrobins8291]

Thanks for showing the details. I used to think that making a box was a beginner's project :-)

It can be!

Great job, my friend! Good luck!

A nice little box and a top-class video. Thnx Mike! I'm learning a lot from you and you are also providing me with inspiration. Going to try a Man-Bowl shortly.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Great to hear!

[@stansharp1126]

Mike, Once again nice little video - It is certainly a project I will now do after watching this. Thanks for the excellent video

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@jackthompson8019]

Nice box Mike. I have made a few but never did much texturing on the. I have a home made texturing tool so I will give that a try.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Sounds great! Practice on a scrap first.

[@BradsWorkbench]

Nice one. I really enjoy boxes as well although I'm not very good at them yet

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Practice, practice, practise😁

[@kenharper616]

I always enjoy your narrative videos. It is, I believe, a element of outstanding videos. Many KZbinrs don't and they their channel struggles. Thank you for your hard work in producing these videos over the past years. I appreciate your channel very much.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

Nice one Mike 👍👍👍👍

Thank you, Douglas

Love it when you turn boxes, really nice.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you like them! They are fun.

[@trunyan5080]

I agree, Mike does an excellent job on boxes.

[@howardaappel194]

You always create beautiful stuff -- I am jealous.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You can do it!

Nice little box Mike. I like the texturing detail. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.

Thanks, Glen!

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Neat looking box

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@jarmstrong2843]

Nice demonstration, Mike!!! Thanks for sharing!!! This video demonstrates why you are one of my favorite wood turners. You provide lots of nice detail and explain things.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Wow, thanks!

[@jerrystreeter4751]

Very nice, I haven't tried adding texture to my work yet; however, I your inspiration encourages me to try it on my next project. Just waiting for the weather to warm a tad here in North TX before venturing into the unheated shop.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Go for it! But practice before you apply it to a piece that you want to keep! No one gets to the stage without practice!

[@johngriffiths4874]

Masterful. Can't wait to see you virtually demonstrate for our club in May.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I am looking forward to it, John.

[@jackburton6085]

Thank you for the inspiration, great vid, looking forward to more. ✌️👍

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

More to come!

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks, Mike!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You are most welcome, Lewis.

[@ralphsnellen8703]

Using a round carbide to get a really smooth finish, I turn it to a angle to get more of a slice than a scrape. More like using a bowl gouge. Just my approach, still prefer my bowl gouges! I use carbide mostly for hollowing with my Lyle Jameson hollowing system. Love boxes, like your work. Keep it up, always watch for your videos.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Ralph. I bet you are using the Hunter cabide on you Jamison rig.

[@ralphsnellen8703]

Yes , also 3 others I made to fit it. Up to 5/8 and scraper in carbide. Make your one holder to fit in handle.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Sounds great!

[@timmillswoodturner.]

Nice job Mike! Those are real “beads of courage” when our hands aren’t as steady as they once were 😀

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

So true! I do get some benign trmors in my left hand.

[@VictorThiffault]

Thanks!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for your support!

[@PattersonPatch]

I think this is the month for lidded. This month the club I am in the monthly challenge was lidden, and I used two pieces of scrap walnut that were 4x4x1 1/4". (i posted pictures on your Facebook) . Also were you using a pure square carbide or the radius square? The radius square does slightly better than pure square on tearout since there is a smaller surface contact.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Pure square but I was not using but probably half the edge similar to if I was using a HSS scraper.

[@jackwagon4313]

I like that tool rest! I need to get a shorter one for my powermatic.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I get a lot of use out of my two short tool rests, one 6" and the Robust 4"

[@bernardfutter5327]

Really elegant little box, Mike, thanks. Although we woodturners enjoy our hobby, some find different irritations, including hollowing and stopping to fashion jam chucks. Carbide tools for rough hollowing really accelerate the process, but I find square tips a bit scary there, and have changed to a radiused square tip. Then, I have a boxful of jam chucks, just needing adjustment for each job, but simply using the unfinished box base seems a really useful tip, thanks .The various sanding sealers are a bit of a mystery to me: so far I have used only a spirit based formulation, and only when considered necessary. Would that be a topic worthy of your attention? Bernard.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback, Bernard. See if this video covers the topic or I need to go beyond. It is several years old so could be a candidate for a do over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4q3fqSui8RkrMk

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Thanks for leaving the audio up. I didn't realize how loud woodturning is. No one ever mentions it. I am thinking about purchasing a lathe but I have sensitive ears. Yes, I know, wear ear muffs but I don't ever see anyone wearing them. Comments?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Lathes are not that loud compared to a BS or tablesaw that I wear sound protection for.

[@garsonprice3441]

The microphone is amplifying the cutting sounds. Some KZbin turners attenuate these sounds (or null the turning sounds) during editing. In real life you will hardly notice the sounds (I have sensitive ears also).

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

@@garsonprice3441 Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

[@kathymoser9750]

This is great Mike. Want to make some boxes myself, I appreciate your detail and the suggestion of books for reference. Do you have a recommendation on masks and face shields?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

This Bionic shield gets good reviews and has a better design than most. amzn.to/3qhLJ2v

[@zetuskid]

Mike, love the box especially the special effects. One little, not really a complaint, just a suggestion, the camera location would have been better(for me mind you) looking at he front of t he box when you were doing the actual work. Just a thought.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for the feedback. Camera angle is always something I need to be aware of. Sometimes it is hard to walk and chew gum.

Mike. Where did you get the military smock?

[@marknienstadt6963]

Camera angle while turning the inside of the lid was a great shot of the chuck. Not so much for what you were doing on the tenon or hollowing.

Wow! Good stuff, but way to many adds.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Sorry about that. Without some ad revenue, I do not think I could justify the time I spend making the videos. I guess that is the price of free videos, isn't it?
