Nice work. I would like to try making this but it's a little hard to follow your steps when you re-chuck the parts. Can you add some captions that say what part you're working on at each of those steps?
I am a beginner, I want to make one of these for my husband. I noticed you drilled a hole to use as a mount on your chuck. Is there any special technique and angle to doing that?
Thank you! I used a homemade friction polish. I just mixed equal parts (about an ounce each) shellac, boiled linseed oil, and denatured alcohol in a condiment bottle. I put it on the piece and then applied some pressure to generate heat. I'm not really sure about the science behind it, but it gives it a nice finish. I also used sanding sealer before applying the friction polish, but I don't think that step was really necessary. Thanks for watching!
I like that you showed the mistakes and how you fixed them.

Wat are you finishing it with? What are you putting on the wood? Is it safe around fire?
Any chance you have a link for the mesh basket you used?
Sure do! I got them off Amazon. Thanks for watching.

Can you give me the sizes of each of the forstner bits you used?
The bits will depend on the screens you purchase.
@ yes, but can you tell us what you used?
