Curly maple small box using glue block method

This is a lesson for the process of doing a lidded box. I use my glue block method because it is stronger, and more secure, and more accurate compared to using a chuck.

For the laser measuring system techniques see my recent video on a kitchen utensil caddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tRjSHDIoIs&feature=em-upload_owner

Welcome to my channel. I have been turning all my life and want to share the techniques I discovered over the years. The first 40 videos on my channel were technique oriented showing different parts of the process. Lately, I have been doing project oriented videos. I still hope over the long haul to cover all the techniques over multiple videos. This project format is much better at showing the entire turning sequence start to finish. My focus is on teaching methods of turning that are easy and safe and that are versatile for any kind of turning you wish to pursue. I hope you enjoy my videos, please use the comment section and let me know if you have any questions or topics for me to cover. I am always looking for new projects to turn. Please subscribe to get a notice from YouTube when I load my next video. Please share with others. Sharing increases your presence and increases your topic selection.
