That is amazing and well worth the time. I just retired and have started to put together a woodworking shop and after seeing what you can do I am looking at wood turning in a whole new light. Thanks for the video.

Guy goto your local Wal-mart and purchase a roll of rubber matting that they have, you will find it over in the area w/ the dish drainers.

It works great for holding things in your scroll chuck w/o damaging the projects.

Great video. I particularly like the camera angles you use. I can clearly see your angle of attack with the tools as well as the tool rest alignment. It’s not always clear on other videos I’ve seen.

Hey there Guy, another great vedio as the others said great camera angles your a real teacher about how to do it. I was wondering who made the chuck you are using I’ll wager a block of real nice piece of maple that it’s Grizzly if I lose sed me info at fddbowler at yahoo so I can pay up

Yo Guy, I had to add another post the changes you made to the box top were a great improvment to the overall design of the jar (box) whatever you call it BTW did you ever convert that cupboard under you tablesaw to slideing tray shalves just wondering about it thought you might check out the draw slides at Grizzly the price and quality can’t be beat and the service is top notch (in my homble opion) thanks again for the great videos you do I have learned some real good stuff fom ya Frank

Love the color on that wood, great job on that box.
Written by nicholls611 about 5 months ago.

@customcutting213 It really depends on what you want to do, If you want to do basically everything you can, as far as tools, A skew or 2 (different sizes, different size spindle gouges a scraper or 2 for projects like this one and bowl gouges again different sizes would be what I would suggest. Yea I know you wanted Guy to answer. but I figured I’d give my 2 cents too.

@windsor927 Please forgive me. “Blush”, LOL. Sorry about that, Deb. That was a terrible thing of me to assume. According to my stats, I only have a 7.5% female viewing audience. I would like to see more women get involved in woodworking.

@kipperdude1 Well, I move kind of slow these days, but I am making progress. I recently got the wood for it. now I need to get be a good set of full extension drawer glides. There are a lot of days I cant do anything. Car accident, two back surgeries, bad neck injury (no surgeon will operate for fear of paralysis), head injury (30 days in the hospital with no memory). This all happened about three years ago, and I still can’t be on my feet more than approximately 2 hours at-a-time.

@customcutting213 Hey Man, sorry about the delay in getting back to you about lathe tools. I started with—an 1/8th in. Parting Tool—a 3/4 in. Roughing Gouge—a 3/8 in. Spindle Gouge—a 3/4 in. Skew Chisel—a 1/2 in. Bowl Gouge—a 1/2 in. Round-Nose Scraper—a 3/4 Box Tool. This makes (in my opinion) an excellent set. By the time you are proficient with these tools you will already know what you want next.

Take Care & Be Safe
