Just another wonderful tutorial on how to make the lidded box. Sneaking up on a fit has always been difficult for me. I will practice your methods.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir.

Top job mike 👍

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Peter much appreciated.

[@brucecraig4954]

Pleasure to watch as always. You have inspired me to make many of the lidded variety of boxes. Using always contrasting woods.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Bruce your kind words are very much appreciated.

[@glencrandall7051]

Another tutorial well done Mike. It's a beautiful little box. Simple design to show off the lovely grain. I prefer videos like this one to run about 15 minutes. They usually get a bit tedious when they are longer. But here we are at over 24 minutes and I never had a thought about the time and then it was over. I attribute that to your organization, explanation and excellent narration. You are quite easy to listen to. I also prefer to see just a bit of the sanding and finishing but your description said it all quite well. The only thing you said I take exception to is: "You can always take off some wood but you cannot put it back on". Of course you can put it back on. As woodworkers we often glue a little sliver or piece of veneer to an area that has been shaved a bit to thin. I have done that and I would bet you have too. Thank you for sharing Mike. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for your very kind words Glen much appreciated. Yes I have glued slivers on occasion 😉. Cheers. Mike

[@wardwilson3216]

Very well turned and explained Mike

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Pete appreciate that mate.

[@rogerbossart9586]

Mike, GREAT as usual. I’ve missed your videos. Weather here has been very wet and windy…making my shop access very uncomfortable. Aren’t you coming to USA for a turning symposium soon? Or, did I miss you. Roger from California.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Roger ...it's chilly here as well. Never been to your side of the pond ....maybe one day 🙂

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

Thanks. I found Part #2 doing the lid.

[@randyrockwell6136]

Very good set of videos on making a box! As I knew turner I found it to be very informative ….. Thank you Mike 🤠🇨🇱. Question: Noticed on your back wall that your turning tools seem to be “clipped” at the shaft to the wall. What type of clips did you use?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Randy, I just use spring clips positioned at ferrule height so as not to mark the handle, the base of the tool sits in a half round "cup". Thanks for watching.

[@vidarreiersen4820]

Nise!👍

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you.

[@trurex007lee7]

Very well done. I’ve seen turners have the top overlap the bottom joint and yours the bottom overlapped the top. Is it preference or a reason? I mostly see endgrain boxes like yours but is it possible to do sidegrain boxes, I.e., orientation like a bowl?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you. It is just my personal preference to have the tenon on the lid, as I think the body looks better when the lid is removed. It is possible to turn side grain boxes, but light cuts with a sharp tool needed to minimise tear out. Thanks for watching.

[@uladzimir7868]

👏👏👏👍
