Wow that hour went fast, great little project and Ron Brown is a funny guy. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed watching this and look forward to making them.
Great video Ron, these we'll be on my Christmas list this year. Growing up in a family that has always canned things from the garden, this will be a big hit. This is my second time to watch the video, I enjoy and learn something each time I watch your videos.
I just acquired a lathe (had never ran one before). While it opened a lot of doors, in so far as exterior design of my jar lids is concerned, using my router worked well for hogging out the center. I used a pin router to insure repeatability. My sides are about 1/8" to a quarter inch (straight sides). For the lathe, I'd start with about 3/4" stock
ty soooo much 4 this vid! really helpfull ! I'm a 'newbie' but I have the same old passion from my old man tough :) , woodworking is ZEN ! starting my 2nd project and my first just finished up ( a shelvingbookcase from simple turned logs :-)) ) now I am working on more detailled work and I had not done anything small in turning but this is so helpfull , how u explain everything is just perfect for everyone ! p.s. : thx 4 the idea :)
You can put a groove on the flat surface with your tool of choice. I use some pieces of laminate that are given out as free samples in the big box stores. Press the corner of the laminate into the groove until it burns into your wood. It may work out better to try this on scrap wood before a good project.
The only problem I have with most, if not all, Gwinett videos is the audience throwing out questions and comments that I can't hear. Now I gotta listen to a 2 minute convo that I can't follow. Otherwise, always great content.
1) its really funny watching men try to figure out what i thought was just common knowledge 😅 2) would you be able to use friction polish as your finish and still silicon in a ring??? Or would the friction polish make it too slick?
I'm seriously trying to be nice,But I wish the Camera man would STOP moving the camera around so freaking much. And,I really wish they'd stop zooming in so close. I don't have to see the grain depth. Carry on.
This is a really nice idea, I am making these and so far I have been very successful. So far, I have not used the lid part because, I am making canisters and I would like the inside of the lid to be decorated (much like you would a turned box). Another thing I do that is a little different is, I do not use a forstner bit, instead I hollow using a 3/8" bowl gouge and a parting tool (if needed use a 1/2" scraper for clean up). Forstner bits are expensive and they don't seem to last because of the heat build up. I do recommend trying this craft because at the very least you might learn some valuable skills. By the way, I am making one of these to take to Italy as a house warming gift (filled with M&M's).
I really haven't considered selling them; I have had a lot of complements on them but of course I put a lot design elements inside and out. I use woods like hard maple, and zebra wood etc. I have made these utilizing the different sizes to be used as canisters. Good luck with your endeavor
Great video! I'm going to meet Stuart Mortimer this Wednesday in our club :) I'm very excited. We have an opportunity to spend whole day with him on Thursday as well. www.gaw.org.uk/

Thank you! Were happy to hear it was helpful to you.
How do you put the burnt ring design on a flat surface? Thanks for showing this interesting video, really appreciated.
Cheers

GWA has presentations for live audiences. The TH-cam videos are just a side benefit. I hope were able to get something out of the presentation.
@@gwinnettwoodworkers of course, you give great presentations. It would just be nice to be able to hear the questions people come up with.
I was once told never to use silicone where food would be stored or served, is that true ?
Good work, inspired me, Thanks
1) its really funny watching men try to figure out what i thought was just common knowledge 😅

Very nice, TY

GOOD VIDEO ENJOYED DEMO
Cool 😎
Your camera man is not following the main feature of the cutting but is ok.

what would you sell these for ?

Fast forward 9 years and that same can cost at least double four dollars
Where can I get your hand out I can't find you web sit you can get back to me Robert Greene
Use larger dia dowels.
Ron Brown can sell Ice to Eskimos. ... in Bulk.
You are probably correct on this but Ron does not sell these items.
Make it wooden with the help of the Woodprix instructions.
