Woodturning 101 - Video 8 - Turning a Box

[@thomaskila3801]

You are an excellent teacher, Kirk! Seriously. Over the past 16 years, I've taken several turning classes and watched hundreds of hours of video on the subject. Your explanations and demonstrations are definitely among the very best. I'm so glad I found this one!

[@christopherharrison6724]

Very clear explanation thank you for clearing up those niggling problems that I haven’t figured out myself.

[@deanlipska549]

Thanks I have been having trouble with the bottom finish. The jam chuck will help a lot.

[@naturesparks]

great showing and explanation how to work a lathe! I viewed this video several times , its so good. I also really like the fact the chuck is made in Australia , Good choice!

[@leftymcshea6876]

Best instructional video on box turning, by far. Many thanks! 👍

[@PatLap]

I’ve been holding my breath for the whole part of the bottom finishing! That Monsieur Kirk is a master! ☝🏼😲

[@jamescarter8813]

Nice work, and well explained Kirk. So glad that Craft Supplies put this series together.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thank you - glad you are finding it useful!

Welcome aboard!

[@MickyBellRoberts]

@@CraftSuppliesUSA Thank you.

[@jean-louishoules5198]

Thanks from France Kirk for this master turning lesson full with precious details, precision and finition. Although it's in English language, and a little hard for me to understand every detail, I get a huge pleasure to follow your demonstration.👍

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

So happy you find it enjoyable! Good luck with your turning.

[@markwoodcock01]

You're welcome!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Great job, as usual, Dr. Kirk!

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thanks you!

[@skipproctor8979]

Kirk, love the finished bottom. I've never tried a raise bead on the bottom of any box. It really adds to the look of the finished piece. Thanks! Skip

[@markb8954]

Great step-by-step tutorial. I’m pretty good at making lidded boxes, but I wing it. This video really provides the WHY details and the sequence! Thanks very much to you & Craft Supplies for “turning” these out. 👍

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

You're very welcome!

[@hrfici]

Amazing and helpful video. It really hits two of my major issues with boxes.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Awesome - good luck in your turning!

[@todds4101]

Another great job on a video, Kirk! One of these days I need to get up to Provo. I've ordered a lot of of stuff from CS over the years but I've never actually dropped by to see the place.

[@longdriver2]

Great job Niel. You've done this once or twice before. Very smooth and beautiful finish!

[@keithcarothers2643]

Thank you so much for this video. Beautiful work

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment

[@stevenhansen8641]

Thanks for sharing, thanks for the time and effort. I have purchased many tools from Craft Supply. Awesome catalog and great selection. Thanks Kirk for another great video

[@TheTranq]

Great video. I’m still a bit confused on the jam chuck at the end. I enjoy a suction pop fit

[@WoodArtVlogs]

Wow amazing work

[@michaelkramer363]

Great video

[@kaygrant8757]

Kirk, you talk about using a friction polish. Which finish did you use?

[@jimzehner205]

Thank you

[@ned711]

Very informative! I wonder, is a roughing gouge the right tool for shaping of the outside? Seems a bit bulky and indelicate for doing this work. Wouldn’t a scraper work better, or maybe a skew?

[@jamesmcconnell9754]

Mr. DeHeer, I have been searching for the negative rake box scraper that you use in this video and have not been able to find a match. If you could, please advise the manufacturer and where it might be purchased. Craft supplies doesn't seem to have it . Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[@plmikado6444]

Hello, Your video is very informative. Living in France, I unfortunately did not understand your explanations but the images clearly show the work and the position of the tools. What finish did you do on this box?

[@leftymcshea6876]

The tool you use on the tenon of the base: is that a Bedan reground as a skew? Tanks!

[@jimjohnson1901]

Now that you're not broadcasting what brand is the friction polish? Also, can you tell me the angles of your tools? Neat video. Watched it twice! Jim J

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

[@johncearns7924]

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Scratch Freee is a general purpose polishing wax. It's designed to be the final step in your sanding process. www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/17/5652/dr.-kirks-Scratch-FREEE-Woodturners-Polishing-Wax

[@bradjunes1610]

Many funny statements sir. Much appreciated----

[@bettycushing2849]

I have a harbor freight lathe 12"x36" my problemnow is it stops on me dose matter what speed I have it on it stop. Could it be the cold cause its in its low 20 and I do'n't have heat in my shop so my question is could the cold be causing my problem with the lathe stopping BC, new wood turning

[@sugengwidodo8863]

👍👍👍🙏

[@bwrightaway2877]

🤦‍♂️ I can't believe I've never thought of using a bendy straw to blow out sawdust. I normally just blow on it and get sawdust all stuck in my mustache and in my mouth. I'm gonna buy some bendy straws today! Lol

[@ukcarver]

Sorry but as a very experienced box turner I would never make a box that I hadn’t part turned maybe several times. Doesn’t matter how dry the wood was. Good box making is a slow process.

[@tylersmith9868]

Are you saying this box will have issues down the line?

[@ukcarver]

@@tylersmith9868 Yes it could have issues as when you hollow the box out you release tension in the wood. . But you need patience when box making. Always part turn boxes in advance.

[@maofangjushi4711]

Oh my God! What happened to you? Last video you were about 30, now you are 60!

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

Nice box but umm acrossed is NOT a word
