Mike, an excellent production. I do want to see the sanding though. Although just enough to see your technique and special tools. And you did that very well when working the box interior. I feel the same about the turning itself. And also finishing. Show enough to demonstrate the function and move on. I think you have balanced all the steps very well. I don't think I would start with a Forstner bit that large. At least not initially. I would have started with a bit about half size. Then finish with the full size bit. Looking forward to part two. thank you for sharing. Have a great 2024 and stay safe.🙂🙂

Thanks Glen .... you're right re the forstner bit ... I normally start with a smaller one ... must be my age! 😉

At the beginning of the video you have something in your chuck while you true up the ends, what is that?

Good tutorial. I've become more a fan of having the tenon on the lid as well. Just getting caught up. Now off to see Part 2

Started doing the threaded boxes again with the Baxter jig. I need to find or develop an X/Y jig for cutting so I can get the recess and tenon spot on parallel. One can never have too many toys...

Dear Mr Waldt, would you like me to send you a house brick, you could use it to sharpen your forstner bit 😂 Great project well explained as usual.

That was really excellent, Mike, with plenty of important fine detail. I suggest its worth pointing out that a 54mm Forstner bit benefits from a higher HP motor. Also , you seem to be using a small size of NRS here; notable to me as I am just making a couple, whilst I think most novices might posses just one. The details on sealing and sanding and equivalent grit given by a proprietary product were valuable. For my set of sanding sticks, rather than Velcro, I use plain backed papers fixed with UHU glue (balsa cement in our younger days).One can just add layers as they wear. Again, a few minutes delay needed. Thanks. Bernard.

Nicely done MIke. Made quite a few lidded boxes but it never hurts to have a masterclass refresher. Sponge on a stick was a great tip..and I have got a little sloppy in a few places so thanks for that. 1Q what was the drive center you were using? Catch you on Part 2
