How to Turn a Lidded Box

www.fouroakscra... This video shows how to turn a lidded box on the lathe. A classic woodturning project that's fun to make and sharpens your woodturning skills.
You can learn more about this project and other projects at my website:

This project was inspired by some videos I watched by Carl Jacobson. Here is one you might want to check out where he turned a lidded box out of Sycamore: • Woodturning - Lidded Box
I hope this video will inspire you to get out in the shop this weekend and try making your first lidded box. If it doesn't work out the first time, don't give up. Just keep trying and practicing.

Beautiful box. I was wondering what you were wet sanding with?

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

I used Butcher's Block Conditioner on the sandpaper for sanding.

Hi! Does the hood help with dust? How many watts?

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Yes, it helps especially with the finer dust. The dust collector system is 1.5 HP and made by Fox Shop.
