Woodturning a lidded box in 12 steps with basic wood turning tools
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Woodturning a lidded box where I use very basic tools and a chuck for the wood lathe. I´ve divided the process into 12 steps. The tools I use are the roughing gouge, parting tool and skew. Making a wooden box is new to me and I hope to inspire others to try. This technique is for beginner woodturners but I´ve seen more experienced woodturners use it too. A fun wood turning project for everyone.
My great inspiration @CarlJacobson has videos on this and I´ll link to one of the first woodturning videos of his that I ever saw. He uses a bit different technique where he gets the grain to align. I have another video doing this so I´ll link to that one too.
Here is a link to their videos:

I never would have approached this this way. I have never used a skew in this manner. I have always matched the grain for the lid. Having said all that, this was so well done. I enjoyed watching it, thanks for posting.
I’m glad you liked the video at least 😂 I’m still learning and appreciate any advice 👍 thank you
@@nordicturning I did, and the approach. And the final result. I just never thought of doing it this way. Its clever.
I think it’s time you used a sound Al gouge, make some interesting shapes, your more than ready for it, you have awesome talent!
Spindal gouge Siri rarely gets it, I should proof before posting
Carl's videos are very entertaining, but may I recommend you to see Richard Raffan videos to learn and achieve some woodturning basics. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I will 👍 Thank you for watching and the advice 🤩
Quite nice. I appreciate the lid fitting demo and the minimal tool use.
Not being really skilled in using a skew chisel myself, I will admit it made my heart lurch the way you utilized it. I have never seen it used in so many ways. Nice video, thank you!
Garry Not Linda. Used in so many ways? The only way it was used was as a scraper. Oh, wait, one peeling cut, that was it.
Thank you for this detailed video. That record power looks strikingly similar to my rikon 220
Probably from the same factory in china? 😆
You're really good with a skew. Im still practicing to get better with one.
All cracked up? ...for me those faults are the features and one of the big incentives of why I turn. It does sometimes turn a nice piece into firewood over time, but then it was firewood to begin with anyway. I was going to mention grain alignment but see that CJ's video covered it. 👍
I do feel the same way. But I get a bit worried when posting and there is cracks. My experience is that mostly woodturners are watching and they know there is nothing wrong with cracks(most the time). 👍
When my kid is too loose I put a 1mm groove in the lip of the lid and add a large O ring. It gives a nice snug fit.
A very nice simple lidded box
Thank you Gary! 😃
I really liked this video. The steps and explanations helped a lot.
I’m glad you liked it 👍 thank you for watching 😃
Great ideal thank you so much!
I really need to learn to use a skew. then again I am starting my 6th piece.
Love it.
🙌🤩
That was great! I’ve made a few of these but I think I like your process better than my current method. Nice work!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it 👍
I wish to learn this method.
Great job i did a lidded pot today using yew
Thank you Roy! 😃I’ll check it out if you post it 👍
@@nordicturning I have put only on Tiktoc as photos
Interesting approach. If you want the grain to match, I'd do it a little differently. But this definitely will make a functional box. Also, hollowing with just a scraper is fine, but a gouge is much faster and cleaner of a cut.
Thank you for watching and commenting Jacob. I have another video where I match the grain:

I have a bit of trouble with making the bottom flat with gouges but you are probably right. I’ll have another go soon 👍
Very nice👌
Thank you 🤩
Ha c’est jolie bravo 👍👏
🤩
It would be nice if the grain matched on the lid.
what are the 'shims' you put inside the chuck jaws?
Great little project and a good way to produce a lidded box
Thank you 🙌 It’s from a roll of adhesive cable ties.
😎👍👍
🤩
🎉
🤩👍
Several ways to skin a cat……… It’s not the process that counts……… It’s the final product……….. Beautiful lidded box
Thank you 😃 The process was a bit unconventional 😆
12 steps? But Raffan can do it in 8 steps. Lol
Hehe I’m going to make a new video with 7 steps 😆 I don’t think I have seen Raffans. I’ll see if I can find it 👍
@@nordicturning , name that tune. Lol
Sure would have bin a better vid if you talked there sir 🤔
The knob on the lid, not so nice😊
Could probably be a bit more elegant 😆
Oh dear. Making the lid Fit. Sorry but this is not the way to make a good box.
No need to apologise, I appreciate the feedback 👍
And how should he have done it? Seems like your comment is lacking content.
@@terry2346you’re right, I’ll answer instead: there are many ways to turn a lidded box and the OP may very well have learned other methods by now. The box was well made and is functional, no question. An alternative constructive method:
1. Turn largish sized tenons on both ends of the prepped spindle, remove and mount L side tenon in the chuck.
2. Part off the lid first towards the R side (continuous grain pattern thus preserved) put aside
3. Hollow the base, cut a shoulder for the lid, finish the inside. Remove and set aside.
4. Mount the lid with it’s tenon and shape the under side, perhaps add a pattern, complement the shoulder of the base carefully with fit checks using the base. Finish the inside of the lid.
5. Return the base to the chuck, then fit the lid and firm it in place with the tail stock. Shape, sand and finish the sides and lid, part off both ends and sand, finish. Make a finial for the lid, or if you left enough length for the lid, a knob can be turned before parting off. I’ll sometimes tape the lid on to finish.
A shoulder could also be made in the lid rather than the base. Hot glued jam chucks can be used also.
We are all learning, I can’t yet do threaded boxes nor am I that great with the skew, so be reassured I’m not being critical. Cheers. Happy turning all.
Passo dopo passo ho imparato qualcosa in più. Grazie nordic...
