Making A Star Finial Box out of Redheart and Maple Wood - Woodturning Project
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2020
- This wood turning project is more complicated than any other I've done a video for. It's pretty long, but I talk through a couple of my processes - laying out the design on the blank, how I'm ebonizing, and a couple other things. I'm still working on getting some decent commentary in my videos, as many have requested. It has proven to be more difficult than I anticipated. I included quite a few subtitle comments throughout the process since I didn't talk through any of the turning - I hope that helps for those who want commentary. The tools I use are a variety of bowl gouges, a spindle gouge, skews, and a round nose bowl scraper. The order that I do some of the processes may seem strange, but there are four pieces, three points where pieces have to fit together, and I can't dry fit two of them until they are completely finished... Luckily, it worked out okay! I hope it's not too hard to follow. Let me know if you have any questions.

Very fiddly but a great result from your patient, methodical approach..
That is beautiful sir, Very well done!
Beautiful little box! I like the contrasting colors of wood too. The large finial just works with the squatty little body of the box itself, its great!!
Thank you!
If you can handle that geometry like you did, I am confident you'll do great with the commentary! Thanks for demonstrating ebonizing, very stylish piece!
Omg...why have I never thought if using a rubber band?!? Great looking piece!
Absolutely beautiful and unique piece. Wonderful work.
It was great watching you work Chad, very sweet little box. Gonna give one a go over the weekend 👍
Awesome job, and an excellent explanation of your process, thanks for sharing.
Loved the video and it was a lot simpler than I had thought. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! It is actually quite simple, not necessarily easy, but simple. Let me know if I can help with anything that seemed unclear. Best of luck! Thanks for subscribing!
Pretty cool box looks like something that would belong to a wizard.
Great work and comprehensive demo Chad, thanks a mill, you are inspiring!
Beautiful piece well done .. looking forward to see the next video .. have a great day and stay safe 😀😀
Very beautiful,👍👍I like finial box, and made some...😅😅
Thank you so much 😃
Outstanding, Chad! We've missed seeing your new videos!
Hey Chad, like you I had reservations regarding the size of the finial. I thought proportion wasn't quite right. But once it came together my concern was put to rest. I'm a big fan of your work Chad. Another signature piece.
Nice work. Perfect balance. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
So gorgeous...the finial is perfect!
Nice project looks good May try something like that myself thank you
That's awesome Great job
Thanks, man!
Awesome design Chad, and brilliant execution!
I’ve been itching to turn some sort of finial box myself. I think this may give me some encouragement to finally do it!
Keep up the great work!
Seth
Give it a shot! My stash box video from a couple weeks ago shows a less complicated process for making a lidded box. Let me know if you have any questions!
Interesting and thanks for sharing
Very creative. Nice job! I've been wanting to try something like that.
Give it a shot! Thanks for watching!
Прекрасная работа, спасибо за видео)!

Hello Chad. I’m Antonio from Vila Velha-ES. Brasil; How are you dera friend ?
I’m waching one of your vídeo now. Congratulations all your jobs is amazing
I’m starting to learn to do the pieces on the lethe . You Will be more One inspiration for me.
I’m glad you enjoyed the videos and found them helpful. Thanks for watching!
çok güzel olmuş ellerine ve emeğine sağlık
Enjoyed your video I gave it a Thumbs Up
Much appreciated!
Chad, great video again! Love this channel. Can you make a quick video on how to use diamond cards to sharpen the bowl gouge or other lathe tools? The grinder takes off too much material. It’s a waste. Diamond wheels are too expensive, but diamond cards/paddles are cheap.
Just a thought. Great work.
Great suggestion... I'll add it to the Tips & Tricks video I've been planning. However, there is no replacement for a grinder for sharpening. The diamond cards can get you several more cuts before going back to the grinder, but they can only do so much. Practice grinding with cheap tools, so you're not ruining high quality steel. And I know they are pricey, but I love my CBN wheel... it'll save you money on wheels and tool steel in the long run. Thanks!
Nice box ! Finial mite be a little large , Great concept , well done. Thanks for sharing.
Eine sehr schöne Arbeit ich werde versuchen es nachzu Drechseln ? obwohl nsch einem Schlsganfall meine linke Hand nicht mehr funktioniert
Very very nice work. Absolutely ❤️ it.
I have a similar project in mind but I'll have to think hard about it with the limited equipment I have.
Also now following you on Instagram 🙂
Thanks so much for following me here and on IG! Feel free to shoot me a question if you run into any stumbling blocks as you try to make one... I love to brainstorm solutions to problems.
@@ChadEamesWoodWorks I've been making some pieces inspired by Cindy Drozda, some of these are on my channel. @MissTee'sWoodturning
Cindy Drozda is amazing. Her finials are second to none! Thanks for watching!
Just passing on something I discovered today. Instead of drawing a star just measure the diameter of the piece. Halve it, set your compass to that measurement then place the compass point anywhere on the circumference of the piece and walk it round, marking as you go. You should end up where you started and have six points ready to draw the ellipse.
I never thought about doing it that way, but it makes sense. Ever notice how 6 equal circles (like dowels) can be arranged so a 7th equal circle fits right in the middle? If not, try it with 7 little dowels. I've always noticed that, but never figured out a way to make that knowledge useful... Thanks for the info!
Great project Chad . Loved the use of the rubber band ! Is that a brass broomhead which you were using to clean the sandpaper ? Also liked the the way you just used the sander to form the shape . 👍
Thanks so much, Jim! The broom head is actually just a natural bristle deck brush. I also use one to clean the funk off my tools real quick while turning. Epoxy a few neodymium magnets to the back and stick it anywhere on your lathe. Thanks for watching!
I’ve heard of green heart,purple heart but never red heart before.
beautiful work again chad, whats the brand of your scroll chuck
Thanks John! My chuck is a Oneway Stronghold chuck. I also have an old PSI Barracuda 2 that I keep pin jaws on.

Honestly, Chad, the video is a straight six. Your detailed drawings on the wood at the beginning, where are they? Turned down. The road to Star Form, where is it? So I can't understand all this, it's not at all clear how you do what comes out of it. Weak, annoying, way too long video, thumbs down, you can do better.
Yeah, you’re probably right, I CAN do better but I won’t. Haha. I’m a woodturner first and that’s where my focus stays. My videos took a number of forms as I made more of them - some short, some long, some with explanation, some without, etc. Different people like different things so you have to experiment a bit. Is this one too long? Yep. Is it a little confusing in the beginning? Yep. Were there a TON of takes that had to be sorted through and pieced together to salvage parts of it? Yep. Was there any chance that I would have considered reshooting it? Nope. My videos get shorter and contain less explanation after this one… lessons learned. Your feedback is valid and I promise that I’m a harsher critic than you, but the alternative would have been no video at all. That’s why I haven’t put out a video in nearly a year - I’ve been too busy turning. Still trying to figure out a way to make it all work. Thanks for watching.
