Woodturners Journal: Turning a Lidded Box with Legs

[@celestinedunn5855]

I love how you changed the grain of the wood to make this gorgeous piece! Bravo!

[@josephinelarosa635]

Well done.

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Thanks for sharing the legs idea. Haven't seen that! Nice job.

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Jimmie at Stuart Arts Thank you. Did a bowl with legs a couple videos back. This was just another way of doing it.

Hi Jerrod, I know this is several months late but just wanted to say that I enjoyed the turn. It turned out great! I especially like the affect of alternating the grain direction. Amazing how such a small thing can yield such a great affect. The general shape reminds me of old "jaw breaker" or bubble gum machine. Yeah, I guess I just aged myself. LOLI also love that stainless steel bench you work on! Never have seen that in a wood shop, it is a great idea. No stain issues, no glue. build up and no nail heads. :-)

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Thank you and no matter how late, it always much appreciated. I agree about the shape. After I turned it, I thought the same thing. The stainless steel table is a heavy duty restaurant prep table that someone was throwing away and offered it to me. I was in the right place at the right time. It has worked out really great. Like you said, clean up is a breeze. Even things like epoxy chip right off of it. Thanks again.

Cool project. Never worked with Canarywood, but I have worked with bloodwood. Very nice wood to work with.

[@Woodturnersjournal]

AnkleBiter Woodworks I've never worked with either, but I am now a fan of both. Thanks for watching.

NICE!

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

It is awesome.

[@davidjackson5421]

Great video of the bloodwood boul

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Thank you.

[@davidjackson5421]

Also enjoyed the boul with legs

[@davidjackson5421]

I would like to know the maker of your lathe

[@Woodturnersjournal]

David Jackson I use the Rikon 70-100, but I would not recommend it. It is cheaply made and as time goes on it's getting worse and worse. My banjo has a huge crack in it out of no where and getting replacement parts seem to be a hassle.

[@davidjackson5421]

What would you recommend, or should I ask if you were to buy a new lath what might that be?

[@ChurchClown7]

When glueing up wood you will have better results (especially segmented projects) if you apply glue to both pieces of wood and let it absorb for a few seconds before joining them. This approach is almost mandatory for end grain projects. Wood moves... Love your videos.

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Donald Fugitt Thanks for the tip. I'll try that in the future. And thanks for the support.

[@brianbarlow1480]

Nice work

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Brian Barlow Thank you.

[@stevenmacinnis418]

beautiful work. love the legs..What type of lathe are you using

[@Woodturnersjournal]

steven macinnis Thank you. I have a Rikkon 70-100. I need something bigger, but it works for now. Thanks for watching.

[@Brykl1]

Moc pěkná práce

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Děkuju.

[@marceloviscarret9743]

Que hermoso te felicito de Argentina te saludo

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Gracias. Eres muy amable.

[@zippy3711]

You could band saw those corners off.

[@Woodturnersjournal]

zippy Ahhh...if I only owned a bandsaw.

[@alfkey4155]

Re-tear- out ,,,,you are turning between centres ,,use a spindle gouge,,, Regards Alf

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Alf Key Thank you. I will try that.

[@ChurchClown7]

Tear out is a result of the “end-grain, side-grain” approach of this project. A sharp bowl gouge and turning at higher speed are a couple of effective approaches.

[@mikemarlin7731]

Nice video! But add a remote microphone (Bluetooth). You need to improve your audio quality if you want subscribers. Just a suggestion.

[@Woodturnersjournal]

Mike Marlin Thank you. I've been looking at them. I guess I'll get on it.

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

It is awesome.
