Brother, that collet was a real V-8 moment for me! Now I can finally finish the lid on my mom/s ring box. I was stuck as to how to do the knob and finish the bottom of the lid and still be able to hold it without damaging anything. This should do the trick. Thanks :)
That carbide cutter you used was wicked. It jogged that thing ok in nothing flat. Nice box, it's always cool to take an ugly piece of wood turn into something great.
It really is! This is the first burl I ever turned "from the wild". I just don't have burls falling in my lap like some folks because I am not out harvesting green wood that much.
Mike Very cool box. I have a piece of cherry about the same size sitting only shop floor......just waiting. I need to get to it. I loved the chuck you made for the lid-the block of wood with the saw kerf is a really good idea, squeeze chuck? The color of the cherry is very pretty. Sam
I rarely use a shop made collet, Mike, but so far have always closed one with a strap clamp. The C jaws must represent an improvement,, and I'm now likely to use collets more often. Thanks for a valuable, if obvious, tip! Bernard.
Great little box Mike! Thanks for sharing. I have turned a few boxes, bowls, etc. from lilac roots. It's amazing the color and designs that are hidden inside that mess. Usually the holes, rotten spots are left in them and opened up during hollowing, for character. The boxes probably wouldn't hold anything but they are nice to look at! Learn a lot from your videos. Take care, Dave
Truly inspirational. Thank you for all your videos! I have a few pieces of burl I cut out of a tree when I was cutting firewood this spring, should I turn them green or continue to let them dry?
I have not turned enough green burl to really say but this burl was not dry and the lid was a somewhat loose fit. For the winged bowl, no problems turning a winged bowl green and having some wood movement.
Very nice piece Mike. I love the bit about turning the tool rest around, this is one of the reasons that your videos are so good, you are always giving us new and interesting ways to use our equipment.
HI Mike, Another great project and a great use of wood that might have been discarded without some imagination which you have lots of. Great tips as always! Thanks, Myles
this is one of my favorite pieces. i have watching this any number of times. i also picked up a great trick when i saw how you use a "collet chuck" thanks again
@@MikePeaceWoodturning im looking into a homeade inertia sander. i see you demo one from woodturners wonders, a company i use as well, but do you have a homeade version?
Thanks Mike for another good video. The trick with the poplar with the saw kerf to make a spring collet for the lid was an excellent tip. That alone was worth the watch, but the was a lot more little tidbits. Thanks again. And keep staying safe and well so you can make some more videos for us. Cheers, Tom
Beautiful piece Mike, thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome, congratulations b👍❤️
Really beautiful work, Mike! It looks incredible! 😃
Nicely done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! Will do!
BEAUTIFUL! My favorite.....so far!
Wow, thank you!
Very nice Mike. The Cherry burl is full beauty and the video is full of great tips.
Take care,
Gary

Excellent!. Happy to help.
What did you use to thin out the mylands sanding sealer? Very nice lil lidded vessel!
Thanks, Lacquer thinner since it is lacquer based.
That carbide cutter you used was wicked. It jogged that thing ok in nothing flat. Nice box, it's always cool to take an ugly piece of wood turn into something great.
I love watching what and how you work Mike. I never know what neat fixture or technique you're going to use. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. -Mike
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your video. That was a beautiful lidded box. It’s amazing how a piece of firewood can look so good.
It really is! This is the first burl I ever turned "from the wild". I just don't have burls falling in my lap like some folks because I am not out harvesting green wood that much.
Beautiful little box .. love the grain and the contrast on the lid.. Great work.. stay safe and have a great day ..
Thanks, you too!
Hey, Mike.. Awesome piece as always. You mentioned (around 14.38) cutting Mylands sanding sealer. What do you cut it with? Thanks!
It is a lacquer sanding sealer so you use lacquer thinner. If I was using shellac I would use DNA

The color of the cherry is very pretty. Sam
Thanks you, Sam. I got the idea from a fellow club member who picked it up from Mark St Ledger at JC Campbell Folk School.

Love the recessed lid. Very nice rustic bowl
Yes, that was an adventure! Enjoyed the video.
What a beautiful job you did with that piece of wood. The box with the lid is gorgeous, and the winged bowl is very nice. Thank you for this video.
Thank you very much!
Very nice piece Mike.

Thank you very much!
Nice job Mike. Thank you for stopping often so we could see the progress and how you thought it through!
Thanks for the feedback!
Mike a really beautiful turning I like the way the wood looks very good looking piece of wood you turned it into a beautiful bowl

I enjoyed watching you turn this lidded box Great job
Glad you enjoyed it!

I love my collet chuck.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning im looking into a homeade inertia sander. i see you demo one from woodturners wonders, a company i use as well, but do you have a homeade version?
@@MrAtfenn No, I never saw the need to make one. I had one from PSI that came with my first used lathe when I started turning years ago.
Pretty piece. Well done.
Thank you kindly!

It turned out great 👍!
Thank you! 😊
stunning
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice !
Thanks!
I like the way you held the lid to finish it off I can see that trick getting me out of a tough spot some day
Good to have alternatives ways to chuck, for sure!
