Woodturning - Pocket Boxes - Craft Fair Impulse Buy Item
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2021
- For those shoppers who aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on some hand turned items at the craft fair, it’s always good to have some lower priced items that might grab their attention.
In today’s video I’ll turn a few pen blanks into pocket boxes which is a quick and easy beginners project for woodturners. It’s a low-priced item that sells well at craft markets.
If all of you woodturners are like me, you’ve probably stock piled hundreds of pen blanks. This is a good way to use some of them if you’re tired of making pens and finials.
I begin by securing the blank in the chuck and marking out the top, bottom and where I plan to cut the piece in two. It’s then drilled with forstner bits, and a tenon shaped to fit the lid. You can design any exterior shape.
Feel like buying a beaver some wood?

My compliments on knowing how to use lathe tools. It seems that every video on TH-cam shows someone using a bowl gouge for everything. When you brought out that skew chisel, you made us old turners proud!
Haha, thanks! My first turning was a pen with my local club and they steered me in the direction of traditional tools over carbides. I'm definitely not a skew master but I took a class with Alan Lacer years ago.
Excellent video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Michael!
Those Are Cool Hodge!
Nice One Hodge
Nicely down Robert
Beautiful little boxes! The grain is fabulous!
Thanks so much Judith!
Ok so I now know what I can do with all the pen blanks I have stashed around that my wife doesn’t know about.
Always trying to help a fellow man in need!
Hell yeah, eat up those scraps!
Haha, yes! They are never ending and I'm too big of a wood hoarder to throw any away!
Sangat kreatif kawanku
Beautiful little boxes, Robert. 😉🧐 great use for all the pen blanks. Perfect for doobies. 🤫 nice job. Take care.
Oh hell yea with the doobage thats the first thing that came to my mind well done Hodge
Hi Rob, What a great idea. Might well be an addition to my table at craft fairs. Thanks Rob. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Glad you like it Huw! Best if luck at your craft fairs!
Good video, Hodge. Always love your projects and Harry's direction.
Those are AWESOME! Nicely done!
Looks great 👍
That's a cool project, great work Hodge
Thanks!
Great little project. Turned out really nice Robert.
Great little project Rob…..love them !
Thanks Adrian!
Neat box. Beautiful wood.
Thanks Jack!
Very nice idea Robert. Great project
Thank you! Cheers Japie!
you make it look easy. it took me 3 tries to get one to turn out. kept getting ever so slightly off center, and turning into the tenon of the lid.
That's the power of video editing! I had a few that ended up being off center too!
Great idea thanks - and much simplified the way you did it!
Thanks Paully! It's pretty simple but at times you can end up with the two pieces being a bit off center from one another so making one that is meant to be completely flush can be difficult.
@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks I have watched other videos of box making and people seem to make a bit of a song and a dance about it but you demonstrated a more simplified method, cheers - I really like your beaver!
Thanks for sharing, nice project. Full View and Like 👍
Thanks as always!
Excellent tutorial! You make it look so easy!
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice project. Thank you for sharing it.
Ya make it look easy
Cool stuff, Robert!
Thanks for watching Billy!
Hi Robert, I thought your project was a great idea and I think I can use them to send messages of incouragements to those who need to be lifted up and shown love !
Yeah you could always put little messages or letters in them. That's a great idea.
Great little project , 👍 brilliant way to practice tool control as well
Great project. Make life interesting when those expected events take place. You did well with it. You’re the 2nd person I’ve seen making these lately. Guess I may have to jump on the band wagon.
Nicely done on a great little project. It makes life interesting when those unexpected events take place. You handled it well. You’re the 2nd person I’ve seen making these lately. I may just have to jump on the band wagon. Well done.
Love making these little boxes as well. Dont do drugs mmmkay
I tell Harry that all the time...🤷♂️
Cool little boxes! I have a similar one, in brass, which is a needle case. Very useful, as it takes little space, but keeps the needles warm, dry, and sharp!
Love the idea! Now I need to market these towards seamstresses too!
@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks may I be 1st in line. That is perfect for any kind of handstitching small enough to be put in the bag with a project. Large enough not to get lost. Now how much for 3 of them
Hi Judith, I'm glad you like them. I usually sell them for about $20 a piece so for 3 I'd give a bit of a discount and do $50 plus whatever shipping is. If you'd like to talk more you can email me at hodgepodgeww@gmail.com
I can then get more specifics if you want and you can pick which woods you'd like or let me know how long it needs to be to fit these needles.
@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks ok I'd say 4 inches on the cases. One of the light, one a medium, and one of either the redder wood or a dark brown. I will contact you tomorrow when I know. I can afford them
Simple mais très judicieux bravo 👍👏
Nice work man! This is awesome! I’ve got WAY too many pen blanks lying around and could definitely stand to do something with them. Might have to give this a shot!
Thanks Seth, that was my problem. I get burnt out on turning pens too.
👍
Great idea to use on small pieces of wood. Is the Huts wax more durable than the Acks or just as one step it is easier to apply?
It's just a simpler one step wipe on wipe off finish.
Good way to use them up, but also inexpensively learn to turn boxes.
nice box my friend hope u r doing well brother? who does the voice for harry? just remember, God loves u God bless. chris
i am terrified of getting my fingers that close tot he chuck
Don't do anything that you're uncomfortable with. I still get a bit nervous when I go to part something off really close to the chuck.
Those are nice, Robert. What's in the left front box? Take care.
Bill
Awesome beginners projectreally like the boxes that were made how much are they?Well Done Hodge
I'd typically sell them for around $15ish unless it's some really exotic wood.
The piece sure looks good. What would be the price?
My experience with selling things is that the environment determines what you can ask for something.
Also: It will never be worth your time in real money, unless the environment is right.
Can't stand the Muzak and watch on Mute with CC. Otherwise, excellent. Subscribing.
Thanks for the feedback Eric. Do you not like the particular music selection or just prefer hearing lathe/cutting noises?
@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks I'd rather hear the process. I'm in the minority, but, for me, music nearly always is a distraction, especially that which sounds like I'm on telephone Hold.
@@EricRush If you haven't watched The Wood Whirler I believe he never used music. th-cam.com/users/TheWoodWhirler
