Simply brilliant…
I would have cherished the opportunity to see him demonstrate live.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Key.
Thank you very, very much for this video. I turned my first box yesterday after taking lots of helpful notes and screen shots of the diagrams. The feeling afterwards was quite special. Made my day!!!
You rock Mr. Ray. You taught me how to turn boxes 20 years ago. I love seeing this again.
amazing man.. I think he could make a box just using his stare
thanks after seeing this comment i found it hilarious the whole way through cudn stop hearing this and laughing
Newbie, learning correctly. Making my first one this month.
Greetings from Bosnia!
You are the best teacher I have ever seen.
You explain in detail and easily.
Thank you!
the craftmanship needs to be at the very highest order 0:52 (what a boss)
I am gobsmacked as to how thorough and well done this video is. I swear those guys in the UK make the most informative videos. I search high and low for videos like this. They are worth 50 of the others.
A wonderfully comprehensive video: first the overview, then the demonstration. Thank you.
A true Master Craftsman who was such a talented turner, exceptional teacher, and dedicated ambassador of his craft, especially to younger generations. Although he’s gone on his legacy as an original standard bearer will forever continue to be a guide and inspiration.
Very good instruction. Thank you
I love this video. I am also scared of breaking any of Ray Key's rules!
Right!
Ray, those slices you cut off - the sound parts might make nice pendants. I am ENJOYING this video.
Hello, I am a German living in Brazil. Your wonderfull videos help me a lot to learn more about wood turning. Just want to say thank you for your lessons.
Hello mr. Ray.Absolutely magnifies this explanation, rich in details, a true post-graduate class
Thank you for posting this tutorial, I learned a great deal from it.
Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks much for making it. Your explanations are clear, concise and knowledgeable.
Hey, Mr. Ray...really great video! I really like watching you work this little piece and checking out your techniques. Thnx Beau.
Brilliantly detailed, easy to follow instruction forthe beginner. Thank you for sharing this. Very much apppreciated😊
Excellent video. The detail is fantastic and extremely helpful. Thank you for your help!
He is like the jack Hargreaves of turning 😊
I liked this video especially because it is both very clear on the techniques but also because you explain the aesthetics of the work. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you Ray.Even though that was an old film , it was most informative. Wax sanding, ooh? No dust. Best regards.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of detail and information very good for a beginner like myself many thanks.
The modified tools are great! thanks for the video I learned a lot.
Great video. I enjoyed how it went through step by step detail. I will be using some of these points on the next box I turn👍
Excellent video, thank you for the instruction!
very good video. never would have thought about wax with sandpaper. wow
thanks i am a beginner so this really helps
Well done. I learned much. Your teaching style is effective.
Great teacher. Love it. Looks like I need more tools. Love the box amazing figure in it.
Excellent tutorial. very good. From Brazil.
In english but very well explained. THANK YOU very much Mr Ray
Only now i learn mr Ray is not more with us… R.I.P
If I could go back in time, I would love to take a lesson or 20 with Ray, and then maybe go for a Chinese takeaway and a beer.
thank you for sharing your experiances, very easy to follow for beginners exellent
Thanks for the great info. I took your advise and turned a box out of pine...well I still have a few things I did not do, but the box came out and I am especially happy that the top fits tight and the box does not rock on a smooth surface..just need to practice some more now.
Thank you for the comment. Practice makes perfect :)
Nice details!!
Fantastic!
A great teacher, thanks🤗
Exelente trabalho estou começando
Nessea arte de tornear,suas ferramentas são perfeita muito diferente das ferramentas do brasil
Thank you so much for this very good video.
You're very welcome!
Thank you.
I am just beginning, learned a lot.
Ron
You're welcome. What kind of projects are you working on?
I like small pet cremation urn's. Lidded boxes. Shaving brushes.
Just purchased a King KWL-1218VS 12" X 18" Variable Speed Wood Lathe. A 60 year old birthday gift to myself. Older Beaver Rockwell lathe for rounding over. Very Small shop is a 15 year work in progress. North American hardwoods.
Congrats on the new lathe. Post some photos of your work on our Facebook page sometime.
Excellent class. Beautiful work. Could you give us more information about the tool you use at 21 minutes? Thanks.
Very excellent!!!
Many thanks!
This presentation is brilliant and covers everything that a new turner needs to get started with the exception of three things that come to mind.
What kind of wax is used for the sanding?
How is it that lacquer can be applied over wax?
The height of the tool rest relative to the center of the material being turned is never mentioned.
Thanks JIM
Thank you for the insights.
I would also like an answer to these questions ... I in no way dispute or criticize, but I would have thought the sanding wax would prevent the lacquer from penetrating
Also, 2 waxes are mentioned, both referred to as “soft paste wax” - is but the final is “high quality” - could you please give some further explanation -
Otherwise, great video and great detailed instruction, I have learned much - Thank You.
great video,,,i love the vaccum lid,,what type of chuck are you using
Very nice detail and craftsmanship! I've heard that when choosing the wood a person should keep the pith in the center of the box so any movement will be as equal as possible. The theory is that the lid and body of the box will not be as likely to become egg shaped and then fit better during seasonal weather changes etc. I know you advised to use very dry wood to start with but I did not see any indication of you trying to choose wood leaving the woods center pith in the center of the box. Do you find this not to be a problem? Also, can a person use green wood and rough turn the box/lid and dry it using the wet chips in a paper bag method. Then finish turn it when dry? Please advise your thoughts.
Thank You!!
Most box makers prefer to use blanks that do not have the pith in them. As a box maker myself, I like to have the end-grain as straight as possible I.E. quarter-sawn to help minimize wood movement. Dry, close-grained woods will also help minimalize movement.
Many turners will rough out box blanks to help shorten the drying time. To do this, leave the walls of the body and lid extra heavy. I don’t try to fit the lid at this time, because you will have some movement. You can use the paper bag method to dry your blanks too. This will also help keep the body and lid of the box together. After the blank has dried I turn as normal.
Hope this helped :)
Sounds like the 3/8 is vibrating when hollowing deep. How deep is doable with the 3/8 gouge? For a beginner would a 1/2 gouge be a better option?
Am I the only person who tries to blow away the shavings while watching these videos?
Ooh boy! I was watching a video about a Japanese workshop that made Japanese tea caddies. Run by a dear old 89 year old lady. And her family. Beautiful work. But oh my! I don't think they swept their shavings away since the business began!
hola soy de venezuela muy buen trabajo de exelente creatividad, mi pregunta es la siguiente donde o como debo hacer para comprar el plato o cabezal que tiene ese torno para hacer esos trabajos ,gracias
Do u sell any tools ray? Also r the waxes u use available at woodcraft supply? BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful box and excellent narration. A lot of work has gone into the piece, could I ask what you might charge for it in a craft market?
very informative video! Could you please tell me the names of the waxes you use? your finishing is astonishing!
Thanks for the comment. Briwax Paste Wax is perfect for boxes. Here's a link. www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/43/987/Briwax-Original-Paste-Wax
Ce mec est un génie.
Very true :)
RIP Ray.
Great video lots of excellent information. Can you please tell me what lathe you are using.
Thanks Simon.

Looks like a Woodfast lathe.
If you use the end of the stock or blank to hollow for the inside of the lid, how is the grain going to line up once you flip it over.
I wondered the same thing. Matching the grain is very important on a lidded box IMHO. What I do is chuck it by the lid end, turn a chuck spigot on the bottom end, then part the body from the lid and hollow out the lid, then turning the lid's exterior close to completion to be finished while jambed onto the body which I turn last.
Ray is that wood spalted...?
Ray's stuff is so good, but wow.. that stare. Im glad he didnt show us his axe
Beautiful box! What brand wax do you use?
What varnish does Ray Key use?
It's most likely a melamine lacquer.
I think I read somewhere, that using steel wool on the lathe is dangerous, and should not be done. Is this true?
Steel Wool is perfectly safe on the lathe. If it does get caught in the spindle, it's thin enough that it'll tear well before it could pull anything in. It is flammable, so be sure and keep it away from the grinders in your shop. Use safe lathe practices and good judgment and you'll be just fine.
Hello
Watch the full length woodturning DVD, "The Basic Box" by Ray Key. Enjoy!

This man terrifies me.
Why?
I am more afraid of him than to get a catch at 4,000 RPM. Great content though
good information...no personality!
He's a woodturner, not an actor. Its apparent he was doing well just to read the cue cards
I disagree. I get so sick and tired of TH-cam presenters who wave their arms and grin and laugh and raise their voices. He's English, (likely from the Birmingham area) and they tend to be more reserved. Also you can see he is, or has been, a teacher. Actually, I find his approach very attractive. He's quiet and calm and confident and I get the idea that he would be good with animals and children.
Excellent video! Appreciate the clear, detailed explanation of critical steps.
Thank you for the education!
