hey everybody welcome back now i was given these old jar lids quite a while ago now by
my lovely neighbor uh and they're made of teak they look quite pretty now i've also got this
which is a lump of firewood but it's a big chunky bit of firewood and it seems to be quite dry
so i thought i'd try to do a uh three-piece box today we'll see how we
i've cut this right right down on the bandsaw and managed to get rid of the cracks
so this is a reasonably solid piece uh it's reading a little bit damp it's about 12 13
but that's not too bad so i'm going to rough this down to round
i put my big big daddy jaws on
and uh hopefully it's actually not i thought that wasn't going to be true but it is
so we need to hollow this out and i'm probably going to drill it i think
i'm going to have to come in from both sides and basically make a tube
all right well i've cut the end off because there was some cracking on this
end anyway it's now hollow all the way through i'm gonna just true this up a little bit
a little tenon
this is a bit of yorkshire grit which i'm gonna buff up so this is just the bait uh just the body
of the box we're gonna make the bottom and the top and i'm not sure quite what shape we're gonna
go for we've got these lovely pieces of teak so it'll be interesting to see how they turn
they're cut side grain on so it should be an interesting one
it's pretty i have absolutely no idea what wood it is put on some feeding wax carl
if you're watching Carl Jacobson, thanks for the recommendation we'll see it how it goes
oh it smells amazing it smells very citrusy
ah it's got orange oil in it that'll be why
all right time to uh have a go at the bottom first i think all right so i've chopped up this teak
lid i managed to cut if you can see that i managed to cut a piece off
which has actually left a lovely tenon so it's gone in the truck nicely enough
i think i'm going to try and keep it like a platform type shape
and then flare out the lid hopefully to the same amount i might actually mark roughly where
okay flatten this down i'm going to leave the edge for a minute because i'm not actually sure i might
keep it it's quite nice the idea being is that we'll put a recess in here to drop the box into
uh glue it in and then
spin it around in the chuck and uh shape the rest of the bottom is kind of my idea
oh it's very chippy
this wood is so hard a little tip of this i mean you can see from the nib of my uh scraper if you
take the burr off with really really hard wood it does a good job if you leave it on it'll catch
i'm going to glue this in with some ca
the trick is to put the ca
in first and then get the bottom
and spray it with activator
and then quickly and quickly put it in it is straight it's the bottom that's not straight
i've chucked it up the other way around it just about holds in
over here was a bit of a tight fit actually over the jewels even completely shut but it works okay
i've just bought the tail stock up just for a bit of added support
i really don't know what shape to do it that's kind of like a mental blank suddenly
it's too big around the bottom it always helps if i talk to you about it it's uh kind of a bit
like programming i'm actually a programmer in my day job and uh quite a lot of the time if you're
really really stuck on a problem if you just talk it out it really helps even if you talk it out to
like the wall but seeing as you're actually here i'll talk it out with you so i like the
thickness i think it's too wide in its diameter um and i'm not sure i like the way it comes
kind of over here it's uh kind of a big bead it's ever so dry and very chippy and i think
i'm gonna need to take this surface down anyway because obviously it's got all the wear and tear
of a million hands over the years yeah okay thank you for the chat that was very useful
okay i've chucked up the other piece which is now going to be the lid i think the first thing
i want to do is to make give it the right side of diameter i've measured the uh i've measured
the base and i want to do it slightly smaller than the base so it's kind of got a taper
so i reckon somewhere
maybe about there
normally i do this the other way around but
because of the weird pieces of wood i've got i've had to do it this way around
oh look at that too big too big
okay
a little bit on the outside edge i think
there that's much better
all right so just the uh shaping of the lid sounds like it ought to be a movie don't
have the foggiest idea what i'm gonna do with this i'm gonna just make it up as we go along
better
not sure the colors of this are going to go very well together a bit worried about it but we'll see
teak is a very rich color i was hoping that the
wood that i used for the middle would be a bit lighter than it is but i guess it is what it is
all right that looks pretty nice
see that
just remembered i haven't finished the bottom off so let's do that
maybe the colors do look okay together
tell me what you think in the comments i think there is enough contrast between them
i always think on multi-piece boxes that you ought to have a decent amount of contrast
and maybe that is enough
we'll stop this thing falling off
lovely grain isn't it
anywhere everybody a nice
lidded box
made from a bit of firewood and two old jar lids who'd have thought it
