Small in the size but so big in the art. Very nice your job. Congratulations Sir !

Wonderful job Robbie. Thank you for leaving the repair in, it helps everybody. I've just used a different piece of wood so it looked like I did it on purpose lol Take care, Carl

I don't want to say that I am glad that you needed to fix a " mistake" but what a valuable lesson. Thanks so much for your videos.

No equal to experience. You obviously have some, and thanks for generously sharing it with us cyber-scavengers. Charming little box. But the way you saved it and making the jamb chucks was even better.

Watched your video for the first time. You are absolutely amazing, love the work and the fact that you continued on. I learned a lot just from the one video. I have now subscribed to your channel. 🇬🇧

It's really great to see a video with a bit of a problem but then a solution comes out of it and all is right. Many thanks for posting and showing us beginners that it can happen to anyone...

I have heard the saying the mark of a true craftsmen is not the work they do but how well they can fix there mistakes. That's what I seen in this video. You are a true craftsmen Robbie. Thanks for your time and knowledge. It does not go unappreciated. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

Wonderful project Robbie, and a great save mate. I love making the little boxes, they are always very popular with the ladies! Take care Mike

My hat off to you sir for continuing to turn even though whatever it is that causes your hands to shake like that must be an easy enough reason/excuse to stop. Also, for showing that we all make mistakes. Another thumbs up. :)

Robbie that was an Official Field Engineering Design Change. Nice save on the little guy. I haven't cut through the bottom of one yet because I am to scared to get that thin. You taught me the box and a great method of repair. All kinds of good stuff. Then the lid finish at the end. Bravo!

I've been turning for 12 years and I learned something today. Thank You.

maybe because im irish.i find you very easy to understand your way of explaining things.realy like your videos.

Hi Robbie, thank you very much for your video. For those who are starting in the woodturning , it is often difficult when you make a mistake and we observe that experienced people, like you, also make their mistakes. Congratulations for showing us how to get around adversity. I would like to thank you for your guidance, even showing the things that don't work out, because that's typical of big people, of people who don't have their vanity registered. I wish you success and a big hug from Brazil and stay with God.

I only started turning in 2020 at the age of 65. Love your videos which have helped and given me the confidence to turn and enjoy the process regardless of mishaps. As you say it's only wood and better than throwing on the fire. Thanks Robbie.

Robbie amasing how you fix it that makes the real craftsman, i learned much from you thank you very very much.

Very nice box! I have repaired a bowl that way but it was nice to see a professional do it . I subscribed

I first watched this video when it was published almost three years ago when I first got the turning bug with my first lathe. Now, after watching probably every turning video and channel on KZfaq , I think its safe to say that Robbie has to be one of the finest turners out there. As we come to the end of another year Robbie, I would like to wish you every health and happiness for the new year. I raise my glass to a master...

Robbie -- Anybody that hasn't gone through a bottom or two hasn't been doing much turning. Nice recovery, my friend!

A wonderful lesson in practical woodturning, with the added bonus of how to get out of a jam.... a great box rescue.... Many Thanks for sharing.

You do such beautiful work! I'm a new turner and have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill!!!

What a save Robbie, simple box turns into a Master Class by a true Master. Wonderful Regards ........ Geof

Great job Robbie! A great recevery from an over zealous bit of parting off. Good of you to show mistakes and how to recover from them. It's a lovely little box. You've inspired me to make one!

Thanks for another great instructional demo Robbie, has a very very new woodturner I appreciate you more experienced turners sharing your wisdom keep up the great work once again thanks Harry.

Loved that video Robbie it just goes to show that instead of getting annoyed with it and your self you showed all the newbies that's it can be fixed and if you didn't tell anyone they won't know and it's a great little box keep up the great vids Cheers Robert

Great little vid R, proves we don't have to make anything world-changing every time we turn.

Great looking little box Robbie. Thanks for showing the save. Recently turned my first box and it suffered the same fate, but without the save. Thanks for sharing. Fred

I don't know why, but I thought of Clementine. Reviewing the lyrics it hadn't been little boxes, but herring boxes, oh, I'm getting old, memory's fading... Nice rescue of your little "bottomless" box. As you said, the ladies love these boxes, for us it's better they get a bottom, otherwise it'll cost a fortune to fill it with the neat little presents for Valentine's Day. Thank you for sharing your mistakes, I'd rather call them mishaps, and the fixtures. I think, I do learn the most out of my mistakes, and I am always glad to see other people's mistakes, as they save my wood and leave more room for my own ones. (Forcing one of these little boxes onto a slight tapered and therefor too big jam chuck, the box ended up exploding on me, as soon as I tried to finish the base). Another great (little) project also for us turners with low end equipment like me. Thank you Robbie for sharing. Greetings from Good Old Germany Peter

Excellent video Robbie. Many good lessons in this one. Thanks for posting.

The repair part was as good as making the box . I have two small bowls that i went through the bottom of , So i figured i would put a piece of would back in the bottom and save them I was"nt sure on how to go about it. Thanks to your repair part of the video I have a way to repair them. They were nice pieces of spalted birch. I was kicking my self for going through the bottom. Now i know they are repairable. Thanks for leaving that repair part in.

Amazing Robbie is all I can say. Your work is incredible.

Great job, great rescue and great accent. Thanks Robbie.

A neat rescue job there Robbie and still a lovely little box! thanks for sharing

That's a nice little box. I liked the way you did the repair, that was very informative, I learned a great deal from watching it. Regards, Bob

Excellant job again Robbie, I have thrown away many, many projects with holes through the bottom!!!. I will now try out your repair. Thanks for all your help and advice. Chris.

Beautiful Robbie, you have an eye for shape. Thank you.

A nice job, really liked the way the box was rescued, a lot to learn.

Nice repair job Robbie, learned a lot.

What a lovely little box and a great save! Looking forward to seeing more great videos

Great job Robbie. Glad to watch how someone else approaches the too often problem I have also.

Very nice. Got to learn a bit more than I expected. Now I will give it a try minus the bottom problem I hope. If I do blow through the bottom I will get to do a repair!

Thanks for that Robbie You had me sitting on the edge of my seat and holding my breath as you re did the bottom. Its good to see the experts sometimes have a stuff up. Cause I have lots.

Robbie, this is an amazing demonstration of detail work, thank you very much for sharing with us. Kind regards.

Great little project. Really enjoyed seeing how you repair a problem with the bottom.

Many thanks Robbie for a great video. The making of the jam chucks was especially helpful as sometimes I get a little impatient when I should be making them but I can now see their true value. Looking forward to your next video. Best wishes, Alan.

great job, nice to see others make mistakes but good to see you kept going with it and useful tips how you repaired it and the use of jam chucks.

This was a nice "little" skill building project. I did it out of a small piece of maple I picked up in the woods. It turned out great and the jam chuck experience was helpful.

Great recovery!! Thanks Robbie

This has to be one of the very best turning videos on here. You had me holding my breath a few times. Best Wishes, Brendan.

Nice job Robbie. I do a fare few saves. It adds character and you don’t feel so disheartened when you know there is a way so save a piece. Many thanks take care. David

Love your Box! Nice work man!🤙🏻

This video is awesome for several reasons.

First time I've seen your videos. Great job; enjoyed it.

Many thanks Robbie learnt a few useful tricks here top man, knew Mike Waldt and Carl Jacobson had good taste in turners to watch ;)

Nice job and repair Robbie. Very good video. The piece turned out beautifully

Really good job robbie I was peeking through my fingers as you were turning the bottom haha amazing come bk learnt a lot especially as I am a new woodturner take care x

Nice fit little project. Thanks for sharing

thanks Robbie, for teaching all of us something new and different, t.s.

Hi Robbie, I’ve watched all your videos and have learned a great deal from your work.. You inspired me in my early days and Im sure I’m not the only amateur turner out there that loved the way you explained each part and process of particular project, a true teacher that connected with the camera like no other. You haven’t posted anything for a while now, are you okay? Can anyone shed any light on Robbie? My best wishes. Craig.

That's brilliant, fantastic repair.

we all try to achive perfection, and you just show to us how dificult it can be, we are all dommed, what a big hole. Great video thx

thank you for all your videos Robbie. I tend to watch them several times. I have just recently gotten back into turning and i have learned a lot from watching you.

excellent video Robbie fantastic work and thank you for the repair idea i have tossed a few projects away cos i have done that not anymore thank you again

Inspirational as always Robbie! Thanks!

Good design. Ever happened to me to break the back glass I was doing. But in my case I could paste the same piece that had broken after pasted was also noticeable. Congratulations on your recovery. hug Eduardo

Nice recovery Robbie great video

To err is human - or so they say! But nicely repaired in the end. Thank you for sharing it with us. Best wishes.

It's good to know you can actually repair, I never thought of that. I haven't got my chuck yet.....

It's a very pretty box. I like very much.

Very cute. Elegant

Nice work. I will try it and see how the ladies react. Greetings from the Netherlands.

It happens to the best of them. There 2 kinds of turners those that have and those that will make a tunnel. I have already. Good recovery my friend. Cheers mate

wonderful job robbie, how you know ways to spare sommething realy amasing

good job Robbiethe

Cute box!

Hey Robbie: Do you know that this way of making a box never occurred to me before seeing this? Another one to stash away!! Thanks! And a very nice recovery job as well! Larry

nice small bowl!

great video pleasure to watch..

Fun to watch!

Great video!!!!

That was really Great!!

Very nice! Love the "rescue", honestly never considered that! What gear do you use to video and edit? I really enjoy your videos please continue the great work!

I hope it isn't offensive for me asking, but what causes your hands to shake? What is it called and does it cause you any issues in turning? Your work is amazingly good and helpful to guys like me who are just getting into the hobby

here is a demonstration on how to turn a small lid ash box

Lovely little box Robbie and great to see how you rescued it. Like the joke about subscribing to see more mistakes as well lol

thought i was being original when i talked about the 2p inserts. iv just seen a bowl on ebay with an old 5p in it

Hi Robbie. I hope you are we'll. I've missed you online. Let us know if you're okay.

HI rOBBIE, WHAT SIZE/ SORT OF LATHE WOULD YA RECCOMMEND STARTING WITH. i DONT REALLY WANT TO BE SPENDING MONEY TWICE..LOL RODNEY
