I put together a list of some of the tools I use in my shop (affiliate) link for my Amazon Store, if you'd like to support what I do, shop through this link: www.amazon.com/shop/thewoodshoptv
Carl, well done !!! to your Son, as an Australian Queen Scout I know the work he has to put in to get this far and you are correct, scouting will give him skills he can use all of his life. Thank you for another great box, you started me off on my journey as a wood turner several years ago as you were the first you tube I looked at, since then, other turners like Capt' Eddie and Mike Walsh have also contributed to my skill set. I love turning boxes and hollow forms keep them coming
Your son has made a life changing accomplishment. Congratulations to him, and to you for what I'm sure was motivation. As for your young wood-turner, WOW, what a fabulous project, and to begin only a year ago. This young man is on his way to success.
Hey Carl I love watching your videos and the stuff you make they are so beautiful I'm 13 and just love watching people turn wood and your one of my favorites and so is Peter Brown you guys make very pretty stuff and I hope you the best of luck
Fabulous about Cameron. My son made Eagle many years ago and it still represents a great accomplishment in his life. Of course, as his Scoutmaster I was pleased to see him and several of his fellow Scouts make Eagle.
Thanks Carl for showing my vase and the nice words! Congratulations to Cameron! I can't wait for the ornament challenge this year! Have a good week! -Justin
+Justin Fiaschetti Wow Justin, I can't believe how far you've come in such a short time! Can't wait to see what you come up with for this years Chistmas Ornament Challenge.
Congratulations to your son, Cameron, for earning the rank of Eagle Scout! Once an Eagle always an Eagle! Rarely does a young man earn his Eagle without the help of his parents so congratulations to you as well! Love your channel! I have learned a great deal and expect to learn much more. Thank you for the generous donation of your time and talents. Keep up the great work!
Congrats to your son. Not an easy thing to do, most give up. Love he box, one more thing to learn to do in addition to the tool handles. The segmented bowl - the kid does nice work. Scott
Well done Cameron! Welcome to the Eagle Club! Mom and Dad can rest easier now that he is done with the endless hours it took to get there. Found it funny that I found your channel and love it so much (Born in Coquille, now residing in Indiana). You were already an inspiration Carl, even more so now that you have raised an Eagle Scout. Keep up the good work, all of you.
Ur videos are my inspiration to my projects in my shop I'm 16 been doing woodworking for two years now and watch every one of ur videos ur an amazing woodworker keep up the great videos!
congrats to your son, that is an amazing accomplishment. I have a feeling your have been a tremendous role model to him and that is also quite an accomplishment, well done to both father and son. also great box and thanks for everything you do fof the wood turning community.
Wonderful box Carl and WOW! I can't believe how far Justin's come since the ornament challenge with his homemade drill lathe! Good to see another kid taking an interest in turning. Best regards, Peter
Congratulations Cameron. The trail to Eagle is a long road. Glad you found the Trails End. Carl, I am a new turner and appreciate your videos. Some of the projects I have seen you make, like this box, I turn in the winter and sell them in our camp trading post. The proceeds go to camper ships and our rangers tool fund. Keep the videos coming, they are very enjoyable and instructional. Ranger George.
My son made it to Eagle Scout too (had to force the issue), but after 4 years in the Navy he admitted it was one of the best things I'd done for him. Congrats to your son - he just elevated his character, potential and confidence by 100%.
Thank you Carl for another interesting video. You certainly have a lovely family.I'm looking forward to a video on your first modelling assignment.Happy turning.Alan
Beautiful box Carl! Great tutorial too. I haven't turned too many boxes, so I always like seeing walkthroughs to refresh the steps. I'm planning to get a hybrid blank made up one of these days and make a box with it. Great job on the intro too having the lid pop!! Started things off perfect! Congratulations to Cameron and Justin too. Great accomplishments guys!!!
Nice box, Carl. That's always been one of my favorite things to turn. Something very satisfying about turning a beautiful piece of wood into a beautiful box with a well-fitted lid. I have a little pill bottle I made out of massaranduba probably 12 or 14 years ago that I have carried in my lunch box for all that time. The lid on it still "snaps" when I put it back on.
Thank Carl. Best thing we can do is teach young people our skills. You have done well at this. I worry that kids today are losing the interest and ability to work with their hands. Off I go now to make another box using what I learned from you. Bill
Thanks again Carl, I learn more from each vid... Actually the company I`m working for owns a Robust,(basic thing) I´am the operator ! Made a number of cigartubes and 1 for pipecleaners. Sorry i`m so poor at making vids !
Nice box - Congratulations to your son on earning his Eagle Scout It is amazing the things you learn as a scout that help you in your everyday life as an adult.
Congrats to your son. My son is an Eagle Scout, too. When he went to his first job interview, the VP was impressed since he was an Eagle Scout, too. Of course, my son got the job. Nice little redwood box. That looks like a huge forstner bit in the pic. I guess I blink too much to see which EW tools you were using except for the parting tool. :)
+Carl Jacobson . thanks for the tool info. I really use both the starter and midsize detail tools a lot. I have a complete set of the Harrison carbide tools also. I use them a lot but also find that I use the standard tools just as much. I'm sort of at the itermediate level. Your videos are really great. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Hi Carl !! Nice video and thanks for including measurements and explanations.My sincerest congratulations go to your son,Cameron.....Awesome job !! Take care. Chris.
Carl, Congrats to Cameron and to you and your wife as it took lots from all of you for him to reach the rank of Eagle. I am an Eagle also and even better I am the father of an Eagle, so I know both sides. also nice video on the box techniques. Thank you for all you do. Mike
+Carl Jacobson close enough... I'm in newberg. But I might be able to convince my parents to drive me there. I'm 15 but haven't gotten my permit yet haha. I have family over in Eugene also.
Great to see Cameron achieve the rank of Eagle . . . That's an awesome accomplishment . . . only two to four percent of boys reach that rank . . . It is with young men like Cameron that give hope for our country. Blessing my fellow Eagle.
+Carl Jacobson . . . Hey Carl . . . I really didn't do anything . . . folks helped me along my journey . . . and when I have the opportunity, I like to help as I can . . .
It's a little hard to see in the video, but what tool are you using on the inside wall of the box to make sure it is straight? Also, how do you insure that the bottom of the box and the wall are at a right angle? Many thanks.
Always a pleasure watching you turn... And yes, I'm another that watches to the end, but occasionally I may fast forward a bit. It is easy to see you are proud of those young men. A side question, is a 4x4 redwood post ok for practice turning a box like this? It should be large enough, easy to get at any big box lumber yard, and give me a lot of turning blanks to build up skills. What do you think? Thanks again. Thom in San Diego
+Thomas Lindgren Thank you Thom! I don't think the Redwood you find at the box stores is the same thing, I think you're talking about pressure treated wood. It probably not a good idea to turner it without a respirator. Take care, Carl
+Carl Jacobson At Home Depot they actually have multiple kinds of 4x4 posts, pressure treated, cedar, redwood and douglas fir. I try to stay as far away from the pressure treated as I can unless I am building something that is coming into contact with the ground or concrete. Thanks for the feedback. Thom
how would you recommend finishing the inside without a round carbide scraper? All I have in terms of scrapers is a bullnose scraper that I cant quite get the angle right on when working on narrow vessels like this.
thats really cool little box carl! & thats really cool you teach classes.good stuff man! what kind of tool were u using when u hollowed out that piece? thanks for sharing man!
+Carl Jacobson oh ok..ive seen those at rockler but im hesitant to get the set..pretty pricey and im just beginning. .but go big or go home right?;) lol
Muy bueno su trabajo ,Felicitaciones .Pregunta .....como mantiene sus manos tan impecables?veo que no utiliza guantes cuando realiza sus obras.-Nuevamente mis felicitaciones
well you video taping any of you box tuning classes.Cameron I know first hand what you did and the feeling you got from doing a great project, I am all so an EAGLE never let any one tell you that you where a eagle scout, your an eagle for life
You make it look so easy... seems to have something to do with your skill level I think. If you ever wind up teaching a class in Michigan I am sure my wife would love to go.
Thanks Carl I really like that box. Would it be possible to show the tool tip that you are using at the time? Just for one second in normal time. Just quickly hold it up for us.I love your projects. Al
Hi Carl, just a quick question. At the 2 min mark you use the round carbide tool, and I see that you are plunging straight in and not on any angle. I have tried this but get nothing but catches. Is the RPM a factor in using this tool. I was using it on pine so I am not sure if that is the issue also. Thanks and I love your work.
Congratulations to your son. Well done, you should be proud. Would you please explain your sanding technique? What is the liquid you use and what grits. Thank you
I am gathering as much information as I can to try my first box. If you dont mind does sanding with the walnut oil help fill course grained pockets in the wood? Or is it purely dust control?
I have a lot of Oak readily available which has very open grain. I will try the walnut oil on birch, you dont show it but do you sand with just one grit and is there drying time between segments of the project?
Hi Carl, I just wanted to know what product you passed with the sandpaper, that of brown and if you use that just finished. Big hug from Argentina. Carlos

It's a little hard to see in the video, but what tool are you using on the inside wall of the box to make sure it is straight? Also, how do you insure that the bottom of the box and the wall are at a right angle? Many thanks.
I used a #1 hollower for the inside of the box base, and a square carbide for the inside of the box lid. www.easywoodtools.com/products/
Congratulate your son on making EAGLE. I remember how much work it was to get the silver palm. You should be proud.
Thank you Gerald, yes I'm very proud!
Always a pleasure watching you turn... And yes, I'm another that watches to the end, but occasionally I may fast forward a bit. It is easy to see you are proud of those young men. A side question, is a 4x4 redwood post ok for practice turning a box like this? It should be large enough, easy to get at any big box lumber yard, and give me a lot of turning blanks to build up skills. What do you think? Thanks again.
Thom in San Diego
+Thomas Lindgren Thank you Thom! I don't think the Redwood you find at the box stores is the same thing, I think you're talking about pressure treated wood. It probably not a good idea to turner it without a respirator.
Take care,
Carl
+Carl Jacobson At Home Depot they actually have multiple kinds of 4x4 posts, pressure treated, cedar, redwood and douglas fir. I try to stay as far away from the pressure treated as I can unless I am building something that is coming into contact with the ground or concrete.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thom
+Thomas Lindgren Wow! they don't sell Redwood, or Cedar post at my Home Depot :( I'll have to talk to them :)
+Carl Jacobson the local store shows a 3.375 x 3.375 x 8 feet fir $12.97.
+Thomas Lindgren for that is, not fir
Thank you! Congrats to your son!
Thank you!
how would you recommend finishing the inside without a round carbide scraper? All I have in terms of scrapers is a bullnose scraper that I cant quite get the angle right on when working on narrow vessels like this.
+howycwap I used a round nose scraper for years, if you have a tool rest that will will go inside the piece that really helps.
+Carl Jacobson I cant make contact with the cutting edge of the tool since its such a narrow vessel, it only makes slight contact with the corner
You make it look so easy! I'm going to try to make one. Thank you for the nice video.
Thank you Tana! Good luck, and have fun :)
very nice! good project.
+knives&stuff Thank you Maarten!
Thanks again. Congts. To your sons job well done on both ..
+Robert Helveston Thank you Robert!
Is starting out with the Wood Peck Carbides recommended. I like them
I don't think so, you'll get a better finish with Easy Wood carbide
@@CarlJacobson : Thanks Carl. I need some input on size and Lathe product to buy. Bowls and plates are my main interest in turning.
I think a 14 in lathe would work great for bowls and plates.
It looks just perfect.
Thank you very much!!
Great, Carl!!!Cheers.Mauro
+Mauro il tornitore Thank you Mauro!
May ı ask what do you use for the red color
nice job Carl, is there a reason to the wet sand . You are the only one i seen do this thank you
+Thomas Morris Thank you Thomas, I sand with the mineral oil to cut down on the sanding dust.
thank you for the info
Thank you I'm a beginner and enjoy what you put out
Thank you very much Jason!!
thats really cool little box carl! & thats really cool you teach classes.good stuff man! what kind of tool were u using when u hollowed out that piece? thanks for sharing man!
+Joe basementwoodworking Thank you Joe, It's one of the Easy Wood hollowing tools.
Take care,
Carl
+Carl Jacobson oh ok..ive seen those at rockler but im hesitant to get the set..pretty pricey and im just beginning. .but go big or go home right?;) lol
Nice work as always. How do you get that lid to pop? Do you have a video you can direct me to? Thanks
Muy bueno su trabajo ,Felicitaciones .Pregunta .....como mantiene sus manos tan impecables?veo que no utiliza guantes cuando realiza sus obras.-Nuevamente mis felicitaciones
+Orlando Herrera Gracias Orlando!
you make it look sooo easy!=)
What is the main chisel for hollowing this out?
It's the number 1 hollower from Easy Wood Tools.
@@CarlJacobson thank you very much. Im new at this so this means a great deal
the one i went to was by the river it has bentquite a few years ago we have family in oregon
well you video taping any of you box tuning classes.Cameron I know first hand what you did and the feeling you got from doing a great project, I am all so an EAGLE never let any one tell you that you where a eagle scout, your an eagle for life
+Clyde Carden I don't think I'll be able to film the classes. Thank you very much Clyde.
You make it look so easy... seems to have something to do with your skill level I think. If you ever wind up teaching a class in Michigan I am sure my wife would love to go.
+Make Crazydays Thank you very much Aaron! Hopefully I'll make it over there sometime :)
Carl, what is in your sanding slurry there?
Thanks, Mark
+IBDaddyO It just mineral oil.
Thanks Carl I really like that box. Would it be possible to show the tool tip that you are using at the time? Just for one second in normal time. Just quickly hold it up for us.I love your projects. Al
+Allan Wright Thank you Allan! I'll start adding that in the videos.
Take care,
Carl
Carl seu trabalho merece muitos likes.
Muito obrigado Alcino!
Gorgeous work! Tell us more about your finish -- you're wet sanding it with what?
+Joel L Thank you Joel! I sand with mineral oil, and finish with beeswax most of the time. It really cuts down on the dust.
Hi Carl, just a quick question. At the 2 min mark you use the round carbide tool, and I see that you are plunging straight in and not on any angle. I have tried this but get nothing but catches. Is the RPM a factor in using this tool. I was using it on pine so I am not sure if that is the issue also. Thanks and I love your work.
Hi Stephen, Thank you very much! This tool is the Easy Wood #1 hollower it has a small cutter, the lathe speed is 3000 rpm
Thanks Carl.
Are you wet sanding with a finish? Thanks for the great video!
+brycerick It just mineral oil, I finish it with beeswax most of the time.
that is just awesome wish I had the tools lol
+Julian Rada Thank you Julian!
No problem feel free to send me your tools haha Just kidding
Congratulations to your son. Well done, you should be proud. Would you please explain your sanding technique? What is the liquid you use and what grits. Thank you
Thank you very much Andrew! I now sand with Doctors Walnut Oil, it captures all the sanding dust and put the finish on at the same time.
Nice video. I imagine that "pop" is the sound of satisfaction.
+Barry's Workshop :) Thank you Barry!
What is the mixture you use when you wet sand. Jim's wood shop.
This was paste wax, but I now sand with Walnut oil. nilesbottlestoppers.com/product/walnut-finishing-oil/
Carl, what finish did you use on this box?
I sanded this one with mineral oil and put on a wax finish.
Could you explain how you sand your projects? What grits and is that mineral oil?
+Guy Smiley Hi Guy, Yes it mineral oil, I start with 150/180, 220, 320, 400, and finish up with 600.
I'm curious, why did you quit using the paste wax and oil mixture?
Any suggestions on getting the lid to fit better if you have a loose fit, re cutting is not an option.
I always try to leave them tight, and wait a few days to do final fitting. If you've already turned it, you can do a inlaid sleeve.
Thank you, as a person with hearing loss, that you don't have music and talking at the same time!
You're welcome :)
Carl. What RPM do you use to turn your boxes?
It really depends on the piece of wood, but normally between 2 and 3000 rpms
I am gathering as much information as I can to try my first box. If you dont mind does sanding with the walnut oil help fill course grained pockets in the wood? Or is it purely dust control?
It's just for the dust and as a finish it wont fill any voids.
I have a lot of Oak readily available which has very open grain. I will try the walnut oil on birch, you dont show it but do you sand with just one grit and is there drying time between segments of the project?
Hi Carl, I just wanted to know what product you passed with the sandpaper, that of brown and if you use that just finished. Big hug from Argentina. Carlos
+Carlos Urreta Hi Carlos, I sand with mineral oil to cut down on the sanding dust. I finish with beeswax most of the time.
Take care,
Carl
+Carl Jacobson Mineral oil is baby oil?
First you use the mixture of sand and oil, then wax only. Hug and very good living.
Can you make a lidded box out of a branch? Or do I need to worry about the pith? Great video! Thanks SO MUCH!
Thank you! Yes you can do it with a branch, but with the pith the wood will move a little more.
