Woodturning Projects Winged Box 1of 2

[MrTyleryates]

What are the dimensions of the started block? would I be able to do this with just a faceplate?

[kenny474]

Also, if you search for "Gwinnett Woodworkers Association" on Youtube, and then look for Mike Peace's video on winged box's in their listings, you'll see what I mean. That is where I learned to cut them, though I have given a few my own distinct touches.

Again, nice work and nice videos. You do have some really neat ideas for sure!

[kenny474]

Good job.

I personally like them with the sides of the wing a consistent thickness on the entire side, rather than getting so fat where the bowl portion is. Just a nicer, cleaner look in my opinion. Also gives the bowl a more defined line.

If you have an email I can send you some pics of mine, though the nicer pieces were given as X-Mas gifts, but I still have a couple kicking around waiting for lids and finish.

Might be a silly question but, what is the stuff your putting on the sandpaper?

[haydenHD]

It is a combination of mineral oil and paste wax. 10 parts paste wax and 1 part mineral oil.

You can find both of these on my website.

[brewerbrian420]

@haydenHD Oh wow, super quick reply hehe, thanks. What are the benefits of the wax oil mixture?

I am trying to purchase a lathe now but for metal work. Can you turn wood in a lathe made for metal working? Was thinking maybe I could just purchase a chuck head for wood working but I am not sure if the speeds will work. Thanks again and gorgeous work btw.

[haydenHD]

I use it to cut down on the dust and it give you a nice satin finish. You can use a metal lathe to turn wood but you will need to get a tool rest and wood chisels. make sure the RPMs are high enough.

I wanted to ask...how do you keep the wings from splintering? I tried something very similar using Tulip wood, but the wood splintered on the wings requiring me to sand them clean.

Love all the videos. Gives lots of inspiration.

[haydenHD]

By splintering you mean your not getting a clean cut?

[kniggette87]

@haydenHD exactly. I thought it was just that my tools were not sharp enough, but even after sharpening, still had large chips seeming to splinter off.

[haydenHD]

I would try a hard wood like maple you can get a nice clean cut.

[kenny474]

@kniggette87 Spin it faster (2400-3000rpms) and take very light cuts with a VERY sharp tool. I use a fingernail grind spindle gouge (1/4" flute) and a 1/4" Ellsworth grind bowl gouge. I avoid scrapers, as I find they are more prone to chipping on these.

Remember, speed is your friend when dealing with interrupted cuts.

[jwolf2655]

Quick question. I just started turning, I have a few that blow apart when almost finished, is this from trying to take too much off at a time? The walls of my bowl is about 3/8 or a little less. Was my second attempt but is frustrating!! thanks!

[firemanek1]

Can someone tell me what this wood is ventures?, Or some sort of paste wax?

[firemanek1]

Może ktoś powiedzieć, czym to drewno jest zapuszczane?, czy to jakaś pasta woskowa?

[haydenHD]

Thank you,

[Buzzsawman]

Carl when you make a tennon on the end of a project to hold in the jaws of your chuck...how long do you make that tennon...I have a nova chuck and can't seem to get it to hold tight enough...my chisels are razor sharp so I know it can't be that...but I always seem to have my projects jump out of the chuck

[haydenHD]

There 1 1/2" I have them jump out some times to.

[prnyus61]

What model Delta is that you're using? I have a 46 701 but your seems to be a different model.

[haydenHD]

I'll have to find the manual I can't remember.

[mojoeshaw]

Hi Carl. Great videos by the way. I'm really getting excited about wood turning and I have a project I would love to see demonstrated before I attempt it. I love to cook as do a lot more people nowadays and I was wondering if you could show me how to make some boxes for flour, sugar, coffee, tea and other things in a decreasing size. I used to love the traditional style but I'm curious to see your take on this and how to get that tight fit plus make it fit for holding food products.

[haydenHD]

Hi,

I'll work on it for next month I have a few more projects to do this month. I was thinking a glue up might work.

Thank you,

Carl

[mojoeshaw]

@haydenHD Thank you Carl. I am fast becoming one of your biggest fans. I just started watching a few weeks ago and am wanting to integrate a lot of natural materials in the plans for a new home. I have a lot of ideas, thanks to you and a few other furniture builders, that can integrate turning and building furniture. Thanks again and I can't wait to see your future projects.

[TheYotard]

WOW, if I had it all to do over again I would have made wood working a career! What is the price range for a good new and used Lathe?

[geert108]

heel mooi gemaakt top

[ironlionkalo]

what kind of video games did you use to make this?

[haydenHD]

Video games?

[ironlionkalo]

@haydenHD yeah like in the first part, wasnt that the new x men game?

[g4GHornet]

you, sir, are a mad genius!

[haydenHD]

Thanks I think!

[Aharndts]

So what speed are you running when you start this.

[haydenHD]

I think about 1600 rpm

[psychodelicdragon]

so the trick is DO NOT CUT the outer parts very much at one time to keep from eating the chisel, right?

this stuff is amazing to me. fabulous art again!!

[haydenHD]

Yes always take it nice and easy.

[chudozniks]

thanks for video. amazing

[haydenHD]

Thanks,
