263 - Turned Box - The Wood Whisperer








At first look, a turned field doesn’t look all that difficult. It’s primarily two bowls that come along with a mortise and tenon joint. However to tug this “easy” venture off you’ll have to execute a selected collection of steps supplying you with entry to the within and out of doors of each the lid and the bottom, and also you’ll additionally have to rigorously finesse the joint in order that the 2 items come collectively in a satisfyingly comfortable match.


The Clean


I used some scrap 12/four walnut to make my field, which yielded ultimate field dimensions of two three/four″ in diameter and three″ in peak. You can also make your field smaller or bigger however make certain your clean will accommodate the specified measurement. Additionally remember to embrace additional materials within the size of the clean to function handles for the turning course of. Additional size additionally means extra room for fixing errors. 2″ must be sufficient for every little thing.


In the event you don’t have 12/four inventory, you"ll be able to all the time glue collectively a number of items right into a lamination. This might create a really cool multi-coloured look! Have enjoyable with it.


The Steps


  1. Use the chuck spur and the stay middle to convey the clean into spherical.

  2. Create a dovetail “deal with” on every finish of the clean.

  3. Separate the clean into two items making a lid and a base.

  4. Change to a chuck with dovetail jaws and safe the lid.

  5. Flip the within of the lid, creating the mortise wall on the similar time.

  6. Set up the bottom piece into the chuck.

  7. Create the tenon on the bottom utilizing the lid for check matches.

  8. Flip the within of the bottom, leaving a minimum of a three/sixteen″ wall for the tenon.

  9. Connect lid securely to the bottom and switch the surface floor of the lid and base.

  10. Flip the highest of the lid, then take away.

  11. Half the underside of the bottom from the remainder of the clean.

  12. Flip a jam chuck on the remaining piece of the clean remaining within the chuck.

  13. Set up the bottom opening onto the jam chuck for a cosy match.

  14. Flip the underside of the bottom.

The End


There are many methods to complete one thing so simple as this field. It’s not a heavy-use merchandise so it doesn’t want something tremendous sturdy. Be happy to use nothing greater than wax and name it completed. Additionally, contemplate ending the field proper on the lathe. As soon as the insides are turned and sanded, there’s no cause you"ll be able to’t simply apply the end proper there, so long as you don’t thoughts giving it a while to dry earlier than shifting on to the subsequent step.


For my field, I’m utilizing two coats of satin wipe-on poly. That ought to supply slightly safety, a bit sheen, and each coats might be utilized in a single day. I end the field off by including some wax to the mortise and tenon.

Sophisticated. The tripod riving brake shown here is the sophisticated version of a contraption to help hold logs and billets as they’re split with a froe. Get some splitting leverage with this simple contraption. by Peter Follansbee R each for a froe, and you should immediately think, “Give me a brake.” The brake can be a constructed workholding device, or just a couple of logs. Its function is to trap your workpiece in such a way that you can exert leverage on a section of a log as it’s splitting. The froe – used to split a piece when it’s in a brake – is a tool that requires some nuance to really get the most from it; the brake helps make that happen. There are many kinds and configurations of brakes. The first one I learned is just a forked section of a tree, propped up with crossed timbers underneath. Forked. Here, a student is using a forked-tree brake as he rives oak with a froe. Jam your billet into the fork with its other e...

Welsh Stick Chair Shoot: A Diffferent Video Approach

I can finally put a tick next to something that’s long been on my “to do” list: Learn how to build a Welsh stick chair. With all that’s going on with my house right now (I just started tear-out on one of the bathrooms and still haven’t finished the stairs), I knew it would be years before I would get around to a chair build on my own time. So, I invited Kentucky bodger Don Weber to come teach me and a few friends on camera, which meant I could do it on company time. But as with all plans, the gods laughed. After Don said yes, and my friends – Christopher Schwarz, John Hoffman, Narayan Nayar and Justin Lieb – picked the week that would work for their schedules, I got called into two days of unavoidable meetings during said week. Ah well. So while I did in fact get hands-on, step-by-step instruction in building a Welsh stick chair, I have not (yet) actually finished building one. My seat is saddled, the legs are fit and I’ve dril...

There are many ways to cut this popular edge-to-edge joint. by Bill Hylton from the April 2005 issue When setting up the table saw to cut the joint, just eyeball the rip-fence position for the groove. Sight down across the end of the stock and align a centerline drawn on it with the center of the cutter. A two-pass work routine centers the groove and eliminates the need for test cuts. When making the joint (right), a snug press fit is your goal. This is a first try – honest! A tongue-and-groove joint is an edge joint with a mechanical interlock. The edge of one board has a groove. A matching tongue is formed on the edge of the mating board. The tongue goes into the groove, and the boards are joined. You probably are most familiar with the joint’s many applications in building construction, such as strip flooring and paneling. In furnituremaking, the tongue and groove is excellent for edge-to-edge glue-ups. If cut precisely, the joint ensures that the faces of adj...
