Turning a Lidded Stash Box - Woodturning Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Using a chunk of spalted maple that I've had sitting around for years and a little scrap of walnut, I made this small stash box. I started the project with no particular plan other than to make a lidded box. All of the design elements were made up on the fly, as was the process I used to execute each part, which is why you might notice some places where I stop and think about what I'm doing. As far as tools, I used all the usual suspects - a couple bowl gouges, a skew, and a round nose scraper. Sanding sealer helped quite a bit since this piece was relatively punky (it's silver maple). I sanded to 320 grit and finished it with danish oil.
Many of the turnings from my videos are available in my Etsy shop, along with a lot of other unique and interesting pieces that didn't get recorded. So, please take a look... it's a great place to find wedding, housewarming, anniversary, or birthday gifts that will really stand out from the rest! And since every art show I planned to attend this year has been cancelled, there is a good amount of inventory available. Link is below...
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you'd like to see a certain type of project in a future video!

excellent design, excellent work.
Thank you very much!
Great look with the spalting 👍👍👍👍
C’est une très belle réalisation bravo 👏👏
Merci
Great job,beautiful piece 🤗
Your piece is interesting to watch and a beautiful finished project. As for your customer research mentioned below, I am a turner and find I like voice overs in appropriate spots where an explanation or added info would be helpful for someone trying to learn from your video and apply it in their work. Aside from that let the turning speak for itself and no music. New subscriber.
Hey Chad, another example of art, function and form. Thanks for sharing your amazing skill and artistry. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Ron!
Beautiful turning, the wood is amazing looking, nice save of what some would have tossed in the fire......
Beautiful work and wood. Glad to see you have a four legged friend helping you!! Thanks for the videos.
Thank you too!
Very nice piece Chad, enjoyed watching you turn this one, well done.
Ver neatly done Chad
Very nice little box..
Awesome lidded box great job
Thanks again!
love your work, great skills and imagination. really enjoyed this one
Very cool... I dig it!
Gorgeous piece!❤️👍
Thank you!
Lovely piece Chad . Interesting to watch someone just turning on the fly , although I think lots of us do do that . As you've said you just wait for the wood to tell you what it wants to be . Great watch !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice Work
C'est magnifique 🥰
You know what would turn your outstanding video to WOW WHAT A VIDEO is to add a simple narrative (voice over) to your video.
nice work
Your extractor fan looks like something out of Doctor Who 😁🥂😀
Like the shape and the Walnut finial.
Thanks!
I need a stash box but being a poor man mine needs to be a lot smaller than that one LOL Looks great and great job turning it as well
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks man!
A stash box! I don't know if this is something I should ignore. Cos the stash I know about is illegal here in the UK 😀😁🥂🌑
Beleza de peça parabéns 👏👏👏🙏e fica com Deus, obrigado pela apresentação isso nos ensina muito obrigado.
Nice project man!! Beautiful..!!
And just an fyi.....I'm realizing that I prefer woodturning videos with at least, some commentary throughout the video! Don't want a chatterbox, but I think some relevant comments here and there is appropriate!!
I've had a handful of comments requesting commentary and I've tried to oblige, but even with a limited amount of talking it slows down the shooting and editing so much that I've abandoned two project videos. I really don't like a disconnected voice over in a video, so I'm avoiding that. I do try to add a little extra info in the descriptions to answer some basic questions that I usually get asked. I'm starting a series of videos showing some of my shop made tools and gadgets, where I talk through the process. Maybe after those, I'll be more capable/efficient at making talking videos and I'll try it again on the turning videos. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
My videos must be relatively watchable without narrative considering how much they get watched. But I get your point - you want commentary. I’m curious... How much turning experience do you have? What kind of narrative would you like to hear? What do you hope to get out of a UA-cam video when you watch it? How much talking is too much talking?Just doing some customer research, albeit on a very small sample size. Haha. Stay tuned... I’ve got videos with some narrative coming. I bet they’re still not really what you want, but maybe a step closer. And maybe the ones after that you will actually like (just a little)... If not, that’s okay. I’ve been alive long enough to know that I’m not for everyone.
Chad, I like this and I'll add it to my to-do list. Is that just an oil finish (a favorite of mine)?
Hey Josh! Yep, it's just an oil finish. That's what I use on probably 95% of my turnings. Thanks for watching!
Like the shape of the box and wood. But, what sort of stash are you you planning to put into the box? 🤪 Wacky tobaccy? Guess we all have our ways to get creative. Nice job!!! 👍👍👍
Lol. I suppose one could stash anything they like in it, per local law of course. 😉 Thanks!
@@ChadEamesWoodWorks Guess I was being a smart a$$. Glad you have sense of humor. I’d probably store my pipe tobacco in it if I still smoked one. But a cancer scare made me stop few years back. Regardless, nice work on the box!!!
Gotta have a sense of humor (although it probably doesn't show much in my videos... ha!). A "cancer scare" is probably good motivation to give up pipe smoking. I hope you're doing okay now!
Love the wood, but what sort of “stash” box is is?
Very Nice! Just found your site. Thank you for making a finial that is appropriate to the piece of work. Too often I see projects where the finial just distracts from the rest of the piece and does not compliment the work as yours does here.
Quick question -- what is the thin cutting tool you use? It is clearly made by you and looks as it works great.
Thank you very much! I like to keep my finials pretty simple because, like you said, they can get very distracting (unless you're a master at them, like Cindy Drozda). The super thin parting tool I use is actually a reciprocating saw blade with the edges of the teeth ground down, then sharpened at the point like a parting tool. I need to make a new one; mine is getting pretty short.
You're the first person I've seen using the same sequence as myself, for a lidded pot.
Congratulations!😉
That piece of wood looked closer to firewood than turning wood, but the final result was fine.
Is your parting tool made from an old reciprocating saw blade?
Yes, it is. I have a video of making one on my channel.
Uma linda peça parabéns amigo
i guess im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Lionel Emilio instablaster =)
@Jaxon Duke thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jaxon Duke It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Lionel Emilio happy to help =)
Good design. The slant on top of the finial was a nice touch. What do you use for sanding sealer ?
Thanks! It's Minwax "Professional Formula" sanding sealer.
Another beautiful piece. Can you tell us what the tool is that you use at 12:53?
It's just a shop made depth gauge - a strip of straight wood with a hole to slide a rod through perpendicularly. I'm starting to make some videos showing some of my gadgets and how to make them. I'll try to get to that one soon. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for enriching my rather dismal existence.
Now I have a place for my medicinal marijuana.
Hope I can get an answer on this from the creator:
I'm soon to be working with spalted maple and I haven't yet done so. Obviously I'll find out in due time, but my curiosity is nagging, and I'd really like to know how it behaves compared to still green, silver maple wood. Does it cut easily or is it more prone to catches and such?
Also I'm curious to know what grit you used, starting, stopping, and in-between, for sanding.
Absolutely beautiful work, thank you so much for the video!
