I don't tend to make boxes... but want to add them to my product line. I work with mostly all green wood. What you do here is what I do with bowl blanks. Good to know the process is the same. (Oh... I always brown bag the bowls, write the date and what's inside)

What spindal speed are you using?

I would have left it as is and posted it on 1stdibs for $2K as an ancient bowl.

Cool

Informative and appreciated. Thank you for sharing.

How long did you say you let it dry?

Thank you for making informative videos despite the negativity. New turners like me appreciate it.

Too bad you lost a piece of the bark. Real nice. I'm going to try these.

Some day I hope to start a wood turning business I have over 1000 bd ft of rough cut cherry that's been staked in my barn for over ten years, just waiting for me to build something out of there 1x6s2x8s I'll get there some day.

Beautiful!

Nice job

Never saw such a pretty little simple piece before 😊

Thanks. I was having trouble with this problem the occasionally occurs!

Hi Appreciate information and education your videos provide. My lathe can only turn up to15” diameter, thus I won’t be turning large/heavy pieces. On the Fugal Vacumn pump and chuck system is there a limit, size, weight that you have used? Thank you.

Very nice. As asked in prior comment will look to purchase the inverted cone used on tail stock. As a new and local,turner appreciate your teachings, thank you. David

I'm out of here

Could you make a video without the boring background noise Why do you think you have to do that anyway, it adds nothing and frankly it sucks

really great video, shows how to actually make this box from start to finish!

Isn't it the worst when you bust through a wall

Nice enough shape, but could be refined to appeal to the ladies. I’d never suggest that it’s ok to take a tool that close to spinning jaws! When turning spalted pieces it’s essential to use sharp tools, to avoid tearing the very soft parts of the wood. I would also suggest a mask especially for the fine powder you scraped off with the swan neck. Again a sharp insert would cut better and produce a shaving not dust.

Great job clarifying what and where and why. Question, the engrain sealer, could you not do the same thing using bee's wax or that spray one stuff you use on trees where you cut a branch off off work to keep it from cracking and still let it dry?

where's the link to the sanding paste?

how to seal the bark and keep it on the pcs

Thank you for this lesson. As I listen do typically leave the wood in the chuck while drying? Again thank you. David

Thank for all these useful videos!

Thanks. Great demonstration.

Wow ! What a great video, clear and concise. Love the form of your bowl as well. So tired of seeing bowls with 1" thick sides. Your bowl is much finer.

Nice video...thank you for your time in making it...and I agree about the intro :) On another note, after your applied your finish and parted the box off the lathe, how did you remove the nub on the bottom?

Beautiful

This is a great method which I hope to attempt soon. I think thought, I'll keep my tool edge much further away from the chuck jaws in rotation.

What type of wood is that?

Great video, no frills just straight up good work. Nice piece. Is it spalted maple or birch or…?

I've watched a lot of different channels with wood turning in them, and a vast majority of them either don't talk, or they have some awful music attached, and at times its a toss up of either the music, or the lathe sound overpowering the other. THIS video, I love how you explain each process and how/why you use it that way! Sub from me!

nice job, good explain..., thanks...

There is no link to the Sanding paste.

Looks great! Nice work!

Great camera work on hollowing it out! Fascinating.

I love watching woodworking videos, these lathe vids are mesmerizing at times. A curious question I had though is, wouldn't it be better on the tools for the lathe if you had cut down the "square" shape of it first using a saw or is it just the satisfaction of beginning to end on the lathe? No hate I promise, just a curiosity.

I love the lack of music and straight forward instructions, very informative. Thanks you!

As a beginner, I appreciated this video.

thanks for posting this!

Why didn’t you round off the outside first

Video is good. I had to turn off the sound though. I don’t know why woodturners think music adds anything. It can be downright annoying.

Excellent video, to the point, down to work from the start, no unnecessary fillers and I actually learned something. Thanks for posting !👍👏

Thanks for the step by step video. Really helped this newbie who just tried woodturning something like this yesterday and was frustrated to no end

Way too much dead time just looking at piece

Why didn't you (Jam Chuck) finish the bottom of the box? Wakodahatchee Chris

Kind of sound like Ray from everybody loves Raymond

How long to soak in? What do you use to put the oil on the wood? I saw foam brushes in other videos, but the brushes kept disintegrating!

Thank you sir for keeping it real..(simple)..Your vid was extremely helpful,,Greetings from the uk
