Woodturning: My First Acorn Box

- Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! This is my 9th filmed project and my first attempt at an acorn box. I used the trial and error method for fitting the lid instead of using calipers since it was so important to get the fitment just right. Anyway, it turned out pretty well in the end, and I hope you enjoy the process!
I'm absolutely blown away by how many people have subscribed, commented, and liked! Thank you all very much! If you're not a subscriber, please consider becoming one! Also, consider liking and commenting, since that will help my channel grow!

Thank you! - บันเทิง
There is something so calming about your videos.
It's an mental health, Mr. Rogers field trip for adults. Fantastic!
The maple burl is gorgeous and the acorn you created from it is just perfection. Lovely work.
The things you create are only meant to sit on a coffee table and draw one's gaze - and hold it. For hours. They are lovely. I could look at your creations till bedtime
Beautiful art, music and video! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Cheers!
Nice. The circular part in the middle is great after a couple bong hits. 🌬️
Um. WOW! That is so beautiful.
Thanks Donna!
Top class woodturning, really enjoyed that thank you.
Such a cute little box!
I'm a nut for acorns, and that's a beauty!
Cheers! 🤟
Great as usual. Thank you ☺️ I 🇺🇸😊🇺🇸
Thank you so much, Marilyn! ✌️👊🎆
I’m in love with this. It’s beautiful.
simply splendid
Almost 2 years since you posted this but it was exactly what I was looking for as possible Christmas gifts for my adult daughters. New subscriber and I will checking out what else you have on the channel.
Awesome like the wood nice great job David
Thanks Rich!
Great video, the creativity is amazing.
Hi everyone! This was not the planned project for this week, but an experiment with hackberry broke my parting tool (don't worry, I'm fine), which meant this video was delayed. I'll hopefully be able to finish that experiment soon! But for now, I hope you enjoy this! Let me know what you think! Thank you all so much!
That's a beautiful peace and happy thanksgiving to you and your family
Delightful.
beautiful finish!
Very inspiring, love the music. Although nothing beats the sound of turning burl
Acorn box looks great 👍
Chris! Thank you so much! Btw, Congrats on how well your channel has done! That's awesome!
What a lovely job super piece of wood
Thanks very much!
Great turn David. It's nice to see some good traditional tool work. Thanks V
Much appreciated, Mike! I'm still learning and making mistakes, but I really prefer the traditional tools as well. Cheers!
❤️Just love the project and how your videos make me feel. My most relaxing part of the day. Thank you
Me too, and I fail asleep on few times
I am a new subscriber and I like what I see. I have just retired and I am in the midst of building our retirement home. I have done lathe work in the past but have a lot to learn. Part of my retirement plans include a nice wood working shop. Thanks for great videos.
Thank you very much, Dave. Congratulations on your retirement! Good luck in your shop and woodturning adventures! Cheers!
Beautiful Acorn Box David, great job turning it, thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much, Gary! Cheers!
Beautiful wood choice.
Beautiful! And enjoy the video and piano music.
Thank you so much, David! Music in videos is somewhat of a gamble, but it's hard to create something appealing to everyone. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Very nice acorn (akern). Great video production. Great choice of music. David, you never cease to amaze me! I just found this video by chance and I am glad I found it!!! Keep those wood shavings flying.
Cheers my friend! I always appreciate your comments and encouragement! Happy turning to you!
Davi voltei a assistir seu vídeo.Seu trabalho me inspira.
The acorn is so cute!! Beautiful craftsmanship, David--the proportions look just right. And it was fascinating to see you turn the unfinished base of the wood into a chuck--how clever!
Thank you very much! Friction is every woodturners best friend! Cheers!
It's called a jam chuck.
Another superb creation, thank you.
Thank you so much, Mike! Cheers!
Really nice!!!!! beautiful Acorn Box!!
Thanks!
Beautiful..so relaxing to watch.. thanks
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! That's what I'm going for! Cheers!
Beautiful!
I wanted to let you know how inspiring your work is, I've lost track of how many of your projects I've watched and of course I'm a subscriber. Thank you David, it's the best wood turning series I've seen.
Thank you so much, John! 👍
The figuring in the grain is amazing. I love how holographic it is. Well done sir.
Thank you, Haydn!
I agree and the choice of material is perfect. I would have never dared to set the wood on a different axis to get the most aesthetically pleasing view of the woods grain. I learn so much from these videos. My latest obsession.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful art, I absolutely love it 😍
Thank you, Shahrzad!
Very nice so relaxing great job!!!
Hello David,
You work so well and it does come to fruition with pieces of art. Great to watch and admire the results. Take care.
Beautiful piece of work!
Beautiful box and great job on the videography. Looking forward to more.
Mike! Thank you so much! Hopefully, I'll be able to be more consistent with my uploads soon. Life is crazy. Cheers!
Beautiful work. Love your work
Stunning piece
Thanks, Donna!
Wow stunning David, thanks for sharing ....and inspiring. Regards Jules, Droitwich, England
Thank you, Julian! Cheers from across the pond!
The Bob Ross of wood turning.
Thanks! Wow!
That turned out beautiful, David! Really nicely done. And the grain in that piece is striking.
Billy
Thank you, Billy! It wasn't the project I had planned, but it's something I have wanted to try for a while. Cheers!
I love these videos. I love how you find the best way to showcase the natural 2 of the grain even if it makes it more difficult. A fellow New Englander too.
Thank you so much! Cheers!
@@DavidAdamsen how can I get to buy some of the pieces you turn.
That turned out very well. Love the grain. Also love the music you chose.
Thanks!
Great work! Your an artist in wood. thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you very much, Forrest!
Way cool... and the wood🤙🏽
Thank you very much, Maui! But I can't credit for how gorgeous that wood is. Cheers!
Super!

You did a brilliant job on a lovely piece of wood. Your video production is second to none, I believe it won’t be long before your subscriber numbers snowball!

My friend, you are amazing. I just found you thru the proposal box vid and then watched this one. I feel a binge coming on lol! Your video making is scary good! Oh, did i mention, those turning skills "ain't" bad either.
Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous burl!
Thank you, Christi!
Love it. I'm going to try to make one as a big Christmas ornament, i think.
Thank you very much, Jen! I can't wait to see what you make! Cheers!
Nice form for a miniature birdhouse ornament. Hole in the side and a perch.
Bonjour de Quimper en Bretagne.
Bravo beau tournage et belle mise en scène.
Bonne journée
Laurent
Merci beaucoup! Meilleurs vœux!
Lovely! My only thought was, if it's an acorn, it should be oak wood... ;)
Very pretty. Great editing skills, also! -Mike
Thanks very much, Mike!
Merci...C'est parfait...
Nice job!

Perfect 👌👌🇺🇸
Thank you, Marilyn!
Nice...!
Thanks Paul!
You killed it man! Nicely done
Thank you so much, Rick!
@@DavidAdamsen I have my lathe, but no tooling yet! This just makes me so much more excited. Keep sharing what you're doing, it's wonderful!
@@rickhickman2730 Well, I'm an example of the fact that you don't really need a ton of different tools to get started. Thank you and good luck in your projects!
@@DavidAdamsen that's been a tough thing for me - trying to figure out what turning tools I need to get started
@@rickhickman2730 I really only use three tools for most things. 1) You need a bowl gouge. A good bowl gouge with a grind that works for you will do practically everything you need to do. 2) A parting tool will help you save wood and make mortises and tenons. 3) A scraper will help remove tool marks from curves or "flat" surfaces. These are the big three, in my opinion. Another really helpful tool is a skew chisel, which helps smooth curves, refines mortises and tenons, and helps with detail work. In fact, I relied on a skew chisel for most detail work before I became comfortable with the spindle gouge.
Hey David, I was turning resin this week and the shaft on my round head carbide tip snapped, ouch that hurt 😭. I think I was trying to take too much resin off at a time. I know now Ha Ha. Fantastic job. Cheers, Sean
Oh wow, are you ok???? I've never heard of a carbide bit snapping from resin turning! Cheers!
I’ve chipped carbid on catches and steel spur centers, but resin is surprising. Maybe there was a micro fracture in the head from before. No idea. Hope things are well for you.
Art & Hugs that’s life. Yeah it hit my fat gut, so no harm 😂😂😂. My engineer friend said the same thing about the tiny crack.
Hello from a fellow Maine woodworker. I would like to say you do some very beautiful work. Maybe someday I could do a meet and greet session with you and see you work. Keep those great videos coming. JR WoodWorks in central Maine
Hello, John! Thank you so much! I don't have a ton of time to turn other than weekends occasionally and weekday evenings after work. With the amount of time required to make each video, I really only manage one project per week. It would be cool to meet someday though! Do you know of any woodworking/woodturning events in Maine?
Another Mainer, here. Started turning a couple years ago but only recently have had time to dig in. I look forward to seeing more videos and maybe one day I'll upload my own. Thanks for letting us watch!
wow,your good.
Thanks Alfred!

Dzięki!
Hi David..sorry for the late comment, but have been at a few shows and catching up on Xmas orders ha!... anyway once again David you amaze me with your skill , and technique for only turning in the short amount of time you told me last when we spoke. You did just a wonderful job on that acorn burl box!!! Very pretty and cute! Hope you got my email and we can stay in touch perhaps. Hope you have a great thanksgiving, and keep up the amazing work that you do!👍

Hi John! Thank you so much! I sent you an email on 11/4, and I never saw a reply. Hopefully I sent it to the right address. my email is Adamsen.david@gmail.com. I'd love to stay in touch! Cheers! And Happy Thanksgiving!
Beautiful you need all the equipment to make these
👏👏👏👏👏👍
Beautiful work. I got caught up watching all of them! I'm in Portland Maine and do woodturning as well...perhaps we could turn together sometime!
Hi Alex! That's awesome! I'd love to see some of your work! Do you have a website?
@@DavidAdamsen it's still in the works. You can see some of my work on Instagram @turntwood
Ha David that is beautiful I was wondering about the beeswax and orange oil is that something you made on your own and the walnut wax I've never seen one for sale ? do they sell that ?anyway great little piece! Thanks so much!
The beeswax and orange oil is a mixture sold as Howard FeednWax. The walnut oil is made by Mahoney.
David eu estou montando um torno para fazer algumas peças. Encontrei seu canal e tenho aprendido muito assistindo seu trabalho. Vou me inscrever no seu canal.
Obrigado Alcino! Eu trabalho com madeira há menos de um ano, então não considero meu trabalho educacional. Mas eu aprendi assistindo outros youtubers também!
Boa sorte na sua configuração!
Absolutely beautiful! Beeswax and Orange Oil. Is that your own concoction? Can you share your recipe, and which oil you use?
дерево красивое и красивая вещь получилось но надо подставку
I love this acorn! Did you sell it?
Hey David, if you live in Maine why is your Etsy page set to euros instead of USD? That looks pretty sweet. How big and what's the species is the wood? What are you going to do about keeping the box upright?
Hi! That's interesting... I just verified my Etsy settings are at USD with the correct time zone. For this project, I used maple burl. I intentionally left no base on the acorn since the lid holds firmly enough in whatever position the acorn is in. So, no need to keep it upright.
Your using a bedan (what I know as bedan anyway) @ 1:16! get it rubbing flush and cutting with the corner tip, the finish will blow you away, sanding after it seems like violation!
hi, what sanding sealer do you use? I haven't tried it
