Woodturning Lidded Boxes | Carl Jacobson

I really enjoy making these three piece lidded boxes, it's a great way to use up scrap wood in the shop too. I did some wood piecing on these lidded boxes after I turned them on the lathe. It's a great way to add some detail to a basic lidded box.

Carl, you are the first American that I've ever heard say Yorkshire correctly. Thank you and great boxes

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tom :)

[@PrawnCocktailBro]

Glad i wasn't the only one who noticed :)

[@manuelgarza969]

VERY NICE BOXES CARL. I LOVE WHEN YOU USE MAPLE AND BLACK WALNUT. IT MAKES IT LOOK REALLY NICE.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Manuel!

[@thomasverga469]

Carl another great job and great video. I hope you understand that he problem with watching your videos is that there is only so many hours in a day. My list of "hey I need to try that increases every time I watch one of these.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Thomas! :) Take care, Carl

[@SushilKumar-mp4tg]

Your Videos are such brainsoothing . I watch it everyday before sleeping . Thankyou

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Sushil!

[@kreegan]

Great job, Carl! Thanks so much for including the speed you're turning at.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Rich! Glad it helps.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

The first shipment of Yorkshire grit is on its way to Canada now. I hope to make it available very soon. Great video as always Carl. Take care Rob

[@CarlJacobson]

That's great news, I added a link to your website to. Thank you Rob! Take care

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Oops, spaltworkz isn't my website, that's Steve crawfords website, mine is in the works as yet for Yorkshire grit...

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Hi Carl, The Canadian website for Yorkshire grit and Hampshire sheen is now up and running www.woodsleesummercraft.ca Thanks again Rob

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That piecing came out really clean! I wonder if a led tealight might make those into cool looking accent "candles"

[@pjbaddict]

You should try some YG Peter ;)

[@Diskno]

do the holes abit bigger Peter and colour epoxy them... make yourself a disco candle

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Peter! I went through on the bigger holes it looks pretty cool. I like the epoxy idea too.

[@pacloete1]

Great hobby to share with the kids that turned out to be an awesome time passing activity!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Andre!

[@seniorchiefharris]

Great video Carl! I enjoyed your demonstration of piercing with a common dremel bit as it 'turned' out very nicely! Now to give it a try on a new box! Thanks again for all of your videos and sharing them with us! Safe turning always!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Kenn, I really appreciate that! Take care, Carl

[@matthewmiller4996]

You always have the best music. Great box

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you, and Robin thanks you too :)

[@AaronSKuehn]

Just love the design and proportions on this project!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Aaron!

[@alansimpson596]

Thank you Carl for another great project. I thought the hole-making process would have taken a lot longer. I have an under-used Dremel which I must utilise more often. So far I've used it mainly for a little dental work which I do on the side to earn a few extra bucks - nothing too serious - just drilling our cavities etc. I'm glad you like Yorkshire Grit. I've been using it for about a month and it's one of the best additions to turning I've seen for a long time. Best wishes, Alan.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan! I was surprised too, it's fast and adds some nice detail. I may have to come see you I have a molar that's killing me...lol Take care, Carl

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent, beautiful boxes...! The piercing makes a nice touch... Cheers...

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Adam! Cheers

[@spencerbrown2594]

Once again a great project to do. This helps me in my turning. Thank you Carl.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Spencer!

[@spencerbrown2594]

DO you do demos and hands own classes for wood turning clubs? I would like to recommend you to our club to come. Palmetto Wood Turners In Columbia SC. My email is [e-mail] and what are your needs to come and availability through this year or 2017. Spence

[@JimsonMakes]

A lovely project, looks great Carl ! I finally managed to watch the whole video without being interrupted ! Yes Milliput would work very well with this technique . The Yorkshire Grit is also great for finishing Milliput . All the best, Jim

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Jim! I really need to get some, and give it a go. Take care, Carl

[@robertsrnec1852]

Great job Carl. The boxes look awesome. Love the tree pattern. Thanks bob

[@ErikAnderson1]

That is a really nice piece and the piercing looks great Carl!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Erik, I've really been having a lot of fun with this.

[@gunterschone8402]

Beautiful video, Carl. The idea makes me happy, because it is easy to carry out. One might as well build a candlestick.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Gunter!

[@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop]

Great job carl, it come out really good I like it, take care Harry

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Harry! Take care, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Silvio!

[@AdamCollins]

Love the effect the rotary tool leaves man!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Adam!

[@timrhyne97]

Very nice box's Carl. I have done similar box's but used a wood burner with a pencil like tip to do the piercings with probably same outcome. You mentioned printing out some templates,, The possibilities are endless there on what a person could come up with. Some have mentioned lights inside, just drill holes of different sizes all way though. and maybe use a tea light. Awesome work! Love watching your vids!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Tim! I'm really having a lot of fun with this. I'm going to look into a wood burner too. Take care, Carl

[@PaulLockwood]

Excellent work as we always expect from you now Carl. The piercings look great, yes only a few minutes to do but I suspect that the clean out every time after each application of polish etc. took a little longer. Great job.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Paul! I used the air compressor it didn't take very long.

[@jlf1430]

Another great video. Thank you Carl... Jack

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jack!

[@davidmorgan7522]

Beautiful as usual Carl! Thanks for sharing. Take care, Dave

Carl Really beautiful compliments

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Giorgio!

[@JS-qp4ht]

Oh hey, I am also from Portland. :) I'm brand new in woodworking but I'm jumping in deep. Restoring an antique lathe bed onto a singer treadle. Going to try doing some old style turning! Love your videos. Hoping a lidded honey pot and dipper will be my first work after some practice spindles.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks neighbor! I'd love to see some pictures of the old lathe, and the project when you're done :)

[@knecht105]

Very cool ... thanks Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Colin!

[@ridinghighwithbill]

Truly inspiring. Cant wait to get to the shop and dig out the scraps. Thank You.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@AsWoodTurns]

Nice box and great idea with the piercing. Alan

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan!

[@MikeWaldt]

Excellent video Carl, the box with the piercings looks really cool mate. Like you I find the ol' Yorkshire Grit is very impressive, if only it could reattach goblet bowls as well! ;) Take care my friend Mike

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Mike! Ya, love the grit too :) Take care my friend, Carl

[@Matthewroyermusic]

Carl, always enjoy your content, was a pleasure meeting you on the maritime makers show a few months back with Pat lapp

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Matthew! It was nice to meet you too.

[@jimrobb6325]

Braw wee boxes Carl. Love the background music. Thanks.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jim!

Great job! A good lesson! Master as always on top! Thank you!

Looks great, that grit worked really well! 🤓

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Lew!

[@donnymcarter]

Very cool boxes Carl!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Donny!

[@MARKBaid]

Cool idea Carl. Looks like a nice box to put some type of scented ingredients in. Or a electronic tea light would be cool. Take care my friend and do a kindness Mark

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mark! Yes lots of options for this. Take care my friend, Carl

[@christianjensen9216]

Very nice. Another hit.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Christian!

[@willemkossen]

I like that piercing thing! I definitely need to try some of that soon! And i have been using the grit for a while. Its great! I will be using it in one of my upcoming videos too.

[@CarlJacobson]

I really think it adds some nice detail. Loving the grit too, I'll keep an eye out for the video.

[@greenbarngermanshepards4308]

like always Carl great project. love it!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much John!

[@WithTheGrain527]

lovely box Carl :) I love the piercing

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Matt!!

[@charlesreicks648]

Great Looking boxes. Thanks

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tim!

[@ndshoreful1]

Nice boxes Carl, look Good with the holes. Keep up the good work Mate. Cheers Buddy. Desmond.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Desmond! Take care, Carl

[@dtork47]

Jeez....Carl those are really nice boxes, love the piercing!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@gordroberts53]

I like the piercing effect a lot. Another bit for the dremel coming up. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Gord

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Gord! It really does add some nice detail. Take care, Carl

[@LibertyWoodworking]

Unique looking, I like it

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@baconsoda]

That's lovely. I understand your problem with trying to keep a random 'pattern'... see, I can't even type it. There's a lady called Yvonne Arlott who does lace-type piercing and she has to keep a pattern balanced around, say, the rim of a plate or the surface of an egg. She is extremely skillful. I don't see any videos on here but her website is well worth looking at. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@CarlJacobson]

Random Pattern....lol Thank you Brendan! I'll check out her website too. Take care, Carl

[@supermonkee48]

These are great. You could drop an electric tea light in there and use the piercings to create a nice back lit effect.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! Yes they would make great little lights too.

[@nathantonning]

A cute design!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Nathan!

[@frojhe3854]

Nice pattern =) i hope we can see more piercing wood boxes in the futur

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! Yes I'll be more of this :)

[@thomasnorris4449]

Very nice box's must do one soon thanks

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Thomas!

[@mickwilton7750]

Very nice effect Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mick!

[@gilgrace1915]

I really like the piercing patterns. Looks great. It doesn't look like they penetrate the walls. I'd like to see one done with...say 3 different sized drills in similar patterns to make a Potpourri pot. I lean towards functional pieces myself. All of the boxes came out great and nice video as well. "Like"

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Gil! I went through on a few it makes a nice light too.

[@Bramsshed1913]

lovely boxes Carl ! must give piercing a go now :) Great video mate !Cheers, Bram.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Bram! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Take care, Carl

[@bradturbo44]

Love the boxes carl all the best john (uk)

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much John!

[@chasepugh8006]

They are Amazing

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Chase!

[@derekaday7787]

Fantastic video! Always enjoy your work and have made many of your projects - thanks. Will be ordering Yorkshire Grit later today. Curious about the use of the air grinder vs a standard dremel and I'm considering getting one or the other (or both). Is there a reason that the air grinder would be preferable in situations like this? Thanks!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Very much! I think a Dremel would work just fine, but this one is very comfortable for things like this. Take care, Carl

[@Texascarnivore]

Carl I always learn something from your videos. Are you going to SWAT this year? I hope to meet you in person.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Joseph! I'm pretty sure I'll be at SWAT. I look forward to meeting you.

[@justanuthaguy8080]

Nice piece, and video. Really like all your work. Does the Dremel cutter burn the inside of the holes to make them black, or is that just an effect of shadows? If neither, how did you get the dark effect?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Tim! Yes the bet is burning inside of the holes. I'm going to do a more indepth video for the Q&A monday. kzbin.info

[@DropbearWoodworks]

G'day Carl! I've been using U Beaut's EEE Shine for a while now with great results (I still sand to 1200grit...LOL!). Is that Yorkshire Grit a similar product? ie Tripoli particles? On a side note, love the wood piercing. Will give that a go in some future projects. The boxes look a treat mate. Well done. Glen

[@CarlJacobson]

+Pipe Nutter Thank you very much Glen! I think it's similar, but the Yorkshire breaks down as you use it. Take care, Carl

[@skyboat345]

Beautiful work carl, good job! Could you tell me what are the woods shown in the thumbnail? maybe from left to right or something. Thanks!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! From left to right Maple and Walnut, Olive and Walnut, Maple and Redwood, Walnut and Holly.

[@skyboat345]

+Carl Jacobson Thanks!

[@mitchwoodwork]

Nice box Carl. I don't know why Forstner bits have such long points these days 😉

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mitch! Right?! :)

[@Av8r611]

Nice.box, very well done. Is the Yorkshire grit the same as the EEE Ultra Shine?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Bill! It's kind of like it, but it breaks down as you use it. You can feel the grit getting finer as you work it in.

[@hamadaahmed1714]

Excellent Excellent Very Good carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Hamada!

[@shannoncooper3298]

I really like the lids you did could you make it into a light that would make a neat pattern

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Shannon! Yes if you go through it would make a nice little light.

[@rickpar5]

Great video, Carl.I've got a bunch of plain wood and these boxes are great. You pierced them all the way through, right?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Rick! I pierced the large ones all the way through. Please share some pictures.

[@ilyeskhalfi974]

Very beautiful

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Ilyes!

Great looking boxes Carl, thanks for the shout and send me the bill... I'll spring for the new shirts ;)

[@daletprescott3458]

That was and air tool you use right, what was it ? I really like the box ,you did a great job

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Dale! Here's a link to the tool I used, astore.amazon.com/thewood0c-20/detail/B006SJJUU8

[@shellyrappaport3864]

Nice work. I've not used a waste block with hot melt before. How do you separate fished piece from the waste block?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Shelly! A parting tool cuts right through it (like butter) I just part it off like anything else.

[@johnpatrick6154]

Carl, please explain how you darkened the inside of the piercings so uniformly in the three part lidded box. Thanks, john

[@CarlJacobson]

The bet is just burning as you drill the holes. I'll show a little more detail on the Follow-up My Q&A channel kzbin.info

[@Tim_Pollock]

Never been into piercings Carl but you've inspired me. ;- ) May have to get me some LOL Very cool video as always bud! With pipe rusticating the hardest part is to be totally random and fight the urge/natural instinct to do patterns.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tim! It really is easy, and it adds some nice detail. Take care, Carl

[@tompuskar4426]

Nice touch Carl. It's hard to tell on some of the boxes and lids if the piercing when all the way through. Did they? Have you tried to enhance the piercings with Milliput? Would probably be an even nicer touch.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tom!! The piercing did go all the way through on these boxes, but I have done that too. The Milliput really does add a nice touch.

[@blackemmons]

Carl, That piercing really adds to the look. Did you color the piercings in any way? They looked dark. Maybe it's just shadow. Thanks, JimE

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Jim, the bit is going so fast it's burning them.

[@irenedavo3768]

I love it!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@pottsydeep]

Great video. Think I'll try some micro-boxes. i.e. 1.5 X 1.5 inches.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you William! Share some pictures, I'd love to see them.

[@RealRuler2112]

Interesting... don't think I've ever pierced before hollowing before. You ever try a dental drill for piercing Carl?

[@CarlJacobson]

I haven't tried a dental drill yet, but I'm looking into getting one.

[@rjleggett6038]

Hi Carl, like your boxes, does the piercing go right through the side walls?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! The larger holes do go through.

[@jimmyhumphries953]

Great video thanks. Which 2" Fostner bit do you recommend, one that can be re sharpened.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks Jimmy! I use the Woodriver fostner bit. I think you can resharpen any bit though with a diamond sharpening card.

[@jimmyhumphries953]

@@CarlJacobson Thanks Carl that's a great help,

[@mummatoni9211]

You should also try the matching Hampshire gloss. You won't go back best finished ever used and found don't lose it gloss like the shellawax or beeswax so quickly. Hampshire has won me for an awesome finish

[@CarlJacobson]

Yes I've been using it for a while, and it works great!!

[@pauldiers6738]

Another beautiful job Carl, I've really enjoyed all your instructional videos. I'm teaching a beginner woodturning class at our local Sr. Center woodshop and plan to use some your videos if that's ok with you? HAGD Master Woodturner, keep the v ideos coming.
