Beautiful little Keepsake Urn Sam! I just finished 5 of those for a friend's family in Gillette. Now I know what to call them. I used the Ron Browns stabilizer and really like how it works. Great video! Keep em coming! Take care, Dave
Excellent instructional video. I do mostly segmented turnings, and have a collection of faceplates with glue blocks attached. I prefer this approach instead of chucks because the piece is always concentric no runs true no matter how many times I mount/dismount it. I drill the center of the glue blocks out to the same diameter as the spindle (1-1/4") ... leaves the flat bottom of the piece intact so it is easier to turn and finish. I don't feel this compromises the glue joint as there is plenty of holding power around the outside rim of the glue block.
This is a great project Sam. The wood is beautiful and the proportions are perfect. The finial / top is outstanding. And I really like the insert in the top to accept the threads. 👍👍 I think you could reduce the amount of turning you show and devote a bit more to things you are doing off camera. It's the special items that make things interesting. Like the reverse chucking in order to finish the base, for instance. Still, thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 😃😃
I do appreciate the input Glenn. Sometimes what I do off-camera, I have other video showing the same thing. It’s always a tough decision what to live in and what to cut but thanks Sam
Sam, I like the use of a glue block. I picked up some Bloodwood while in Billings and I want to make the most of it as it will take a great thread. I plan on making some small treaded boxes (or is it boxen?). B-
Thanks for sharing the details of the making of this beautiful piece. I’ll echo Glen Crandall’s request to show how you reverse chuck pieces like this. All told, how much time does a piece like this require to make?
If you look on my channel you'll find a playlist with around 50 videos on thread chasing. I've done a lot of inserts with Hollow forms as well as videos I just didn't wanna make a video too long and didn't wanna make it too much about thread chasing Sam
Can you provide more info on the Ashley Iles parting tool you were using. I like the thicker tool narrowing down to a thinner area near the cutting edge but haven’t found one like it on line. The closest I’ve found is the fluted parting tool.
I don’t agree with the way you did this video,the most important part of creating this piece you did off camera. That being said it’s more like look what I created rather than teaching someone to do the same. I hope you take this in and not feel offended. Viewers need to see how to create a piece !!!!!
Beautiful little urn Sam.
Thanks for talking thru some of the more delicate parts including the speed!
Beautiful piece of wood, so glad you dyed the top all black. Love the shape!
Nicely done once againSam! Thanks for the inspiration as always! Stay well….
Very nice Sam. I like the insert and threaded top.

Love it - I have got to get up to your shop and get some wood threading lessons. Thanks for sharing your work and project steps with us!
I’m actually thinking about doing an open shop Saturday on thread chasing. Not this Saturday of course but later on. Sam
Beautiful!
So nice work, thank you very much for the videos. I really would have loved to see the mounting of the piece for the finishing of the bottom!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your work. Liked and Subbed look forward to seeing more videos
Thanks for the sub! Sam

I'll try to show the reverse chucking of this type of turning in an upcoming video. Something like this would take 3-4 hours. Sam
Beautiful little keepsake urn Sam. I would have liked to see the insert, what kind of wood did you use? Thanks for sharing.

Nice piece Sam. Would have liked seeing how you reverse chucked it to clean up the bottom. How did you do it? Vacuum chuck? Jamb chuck?

When you posting your July notes from the turning shop?
It will be on July 31. Cutting it pretty short ….
