Thanks Tommi. Great box with excellent tool control and descriptions of cuts with grain orientation. IE end grain or cross grain cuts to avoid chip out. Loved the 2 inlays. They really improved toe overall look of box.
That is a splendid little pot, the shape and the figure are wonderfully combined. And again, a great many tips and techniques. Thanks for another entertaining and educational video.
You make it look so easy, I've been pen making for a couple of years and want to do bigger projects. I really enjoy your work and teaching style and am learning so much from your videos. Please keep them coming.
You do some excellent work and as I’ve looked at many of your videos it is apparent it comes from great knowledge and experience in this medium. You have a great eye for proportion and the proof is in watching you or someone who is very good work. Because you make something that is demanding look very easy and the work moves along quickly. Thank you for sharing what you love with the rest of us.
Great work! If you get the chance could you please leave in the parts where you talk about what you are going to do and how before the video transition. I was curious to see how you would mount the piece when doing the bottom of the box (when you jjam it into another piece of wood).
I have tried that back hollowing several times but been mostly unsuccessful…. It is SO efficient, I’ll have to keep working on it!! Thanks so much for your videos! They are the best!!
Ive said it to you before, you may start off going somewhere but if you don’t know were your going you might end up somewhere else 😮 and it ends up very nice 🤗🤭
I like the design of this piece. The inlays work very well and the shape of the vessel and the lid are practical and interesting. I need to practice inlaying and inserting contrasting species. Thanks for teaching us how to do it.
I really love that inlay technique! I will have to give that a try! Normally I would do a glue up to get that effect, but it's such a waste of time and wood! Your method will save a ton of time! Thank you!
Perfect timing. I want to have a go at one of these! But I'm not at all confident with using the skew chisel. I get violent catches that send me down the length of my project. I'm struggling to work out what's wrong. Any tips you can give would be appreciated ❤
Loved the design and the inlays look as you say quite lovely! My favorite thing to turn is boxes and have added button inlays to a few of mine but never a ring, that is going to change soon. Well explained and executed! I have like 60 maple cylinders that I can use for this project. I will use walnut as a contrasting wood, should look beautiful dark in lighter wood. But first I have to make the painted bowl with the wavy tape technique you demonstrated a bit back. Been running around the west country here lately and I have been away from my lathe. I’m getting the shakes from withdrawals lol. I have been out of pocket, are the Tomisic signature scrapers available yet or soon? I need some! Again I have learned something valuable from you! I feel my box making skills are the closest to yours but I still am in awe when I watch you work! Mesmerizing to say the least! Your ability to describe what you are demonstrating is second to none in my opinion. You talk like I think about things, just a bit slower than you. I will attribute that to old age lol! Thanks, take care! Scott PS: one of the only things I just can’t seem to get right is back hollowing! You make it look so easy, but it is not! There is something unnerving about sticking the upper side of the spindle gouge into the wood at that angle and entry point that screams catch to me! I just can’t picture the slicing cutting action in my head and it makes me second guess myself but you and Richard and others have it mastered and again it is impressive! I will keep trying though.
Thank you Scott very much, my scraper is not yet ready, its in final stretch of prototype and hopefully within month two I'll have first preorder sale. I just wanna do this right so I'm taking the time😀. I have video specificly on back hollow and it might help, few months old video. Also try position the gouge without lathe running and spin by hand.... You should be able to get shavings 😀 ruclips.net/video/RUW6FluwD60/видео.htmlsi=9oDmGvuV9zkfJuBs
I am a slow learner, but do you set your tool rest height so your gouge lays flat on the angle of the rest? Your gouge seems usually about 45 degrees to the work piece. Thanks for another great video! Often new turners on Facebook ask where to go for instructions. I always send them to you and Richard.
Thank you sir for reccomending my videos,I really appriciate that. That angle changes a lot and height of tool rest as well, I have a video,here is link that might help out with this. ruclips.net/video/v0gS74Wfc4M/видео.htmlsi=3R2DatVbC4zR88NP
Wish you good luck with your move. Often these setbacks prove to be a benefit in the long run. I am sure that your obvious enthusiasm and drive will carry you through. Look forward to watching many more of your videos. All the best for the future. Jim
Should have mentioned this in original comment Tommi. When we comment and/or like. Which is best for your channel, both , either , or. As I sometimes forget to like but I usually comment.
Great video- I’m inspired! A tip for using super glue and saving your fingers from getting stuck- Try using barrier hand cream. I am a retired nurse and we used this in the hospitals to save the skin on our hands from cracking from frequent hand washing- also for patient skin to prevent breakdown from moisture. I keep a bottle of barrier lotion on hand to save my hands when using finishes/glues and I use it while gardening to help keep my nails/cuticles clean. It does contain silicone, so it is important to let it dry on your hands before touching bare wood.
@@randyrockwell6136 Yes- or Skin barrier cream. I’m partial to a brand called “Gloves in a Bottle”. The key to using it is to wash your hands throughly first, dry well and then apply a small amount (pea size) and let it dry so it doesn’t feel tacky. It does not wash off- even with soap and warm water. It wears off naturally as your skin defoliates.
That is a fantastic box. Beautiful wood. And thank you for the very thorough explanation on your thought processes and turning processes as you were creating that box. Always good to hear from a true craftsman on how they are creating their piece.
We are glad you were there to rescue this from becoming firewood as well Tomislav -- that is a beautiful piece of wood and the box you made is very nice looking. I really like the shape. Appreciate seeing the details for the ring inlay; I need to try that on a box in the future -- that really enhances the look.
Yes I am going to try to duplicate this one. Very nice with that inlay. No walnut turning for me today however. Instead I will be transplanting walnut seedlings I planted last fall.
Very nice Tomislav
I think Richard needs to send you a couple of his socks! Love the project and another technique to try.
I like the popcorn rag. It’s changed from white to gray and is developing its own personality 😊
His own patina😄
Great job Tomislav... that is really lovely.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thanks Brendan
great job, well done and finished. I really enjoy all aspects of your videos Tomislav.
Thank you
Beautiful little box. I think that's the first time I've seen you do inlays like that and I learned a lot. Thank you for doing these videos.
Thank You for watching 😀

Small boxes are my favorite project. Love this design
Love those too☺️
Great video, love the inlayed band on top.I will be makeing one of these for my grand daughter. Thank you,
So fun to watch. Beautiful piece!
Wow! That ring inlay!!!! Amazing design and amazing skills.
Thank you Rachel
You make the lid fitting and inlays appear much easier than I know it to be. I will keep trying. Beautiful result.
Thank you very much
Excellent piece!

Another new and interesting technique in this video ….. really liked your method used on the lid! Thank you for sharing 🤠🇨🇱
No problem Randy,glad you liked it ☺️
Thank you. An awesome job my friend!
Thank you
Thank you for another great video covering turning techniques. The little box turned out beautifully!
Thank you Johnny
Your cuts are SO SMOOTH.
Thanks for another video.

Great design and incorporating the detail. Boxes are so great for design opportunities.
love the techniques and so much to learn.
thanks for another masterclass

It is really efficient but it does need a bit practice...I have a few months old video just on this back hollow
Beautiful
Nice inlay addition to the design, works very well, and inspires to give it a try at some point. Keep them coming! happy weekend!

I thought that you were making the base too small but, the finished picture proved me wrong. You have an artist's eye which I don't have.
Thank you very much, Trust me,I don't have it either, I just do what feels right to me... sometimes its good and other can be disaster.☺️
Very nice, the finish add great color to the box. Thanks for another great video.

Thank you very much, the Continental spindle gouge is from Crown cryogenic line of tools
And size I think its 30mm wide

Never heard of this ….. do I just look for “barrier lotion” ??
I use a product called Working Hands made by Burt’s Bees which has a wax base.

Will you wood burn your signature with the oil and wax on the bottom of the piece?
It will,just a bit slower 😀.... For videos I like to finish if I can so the grain can be seen
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
Great looking box tomislav thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Thanks Will, really appriciate that ☺️
