A beautiful box. Lovely grain on all the parts. What I took away is to continue on when accidents happen. The results can still be excellent. Many thanks for another entertaining and educational video!
Well done Mike, great examples of real work experiences and reviews plus recovery. As others have also commented the Four Ways series is a fantastic resource for Woodturners to get inspiration and encouragement to try their hand at projects.
I love these 4 way projects. We never know what y’all are gonna come up with next. It’s not a contest, but Mike yours is definitely the prettiest finished piece this month!
What I have gained from this video and Richard and Tomislav’s (watching Sam’s next) is inspiration for doing this project but specifically from yours is your design process and how you recover from mishaps. Very methodical and your explanation makes clear what you are trying to achieve! I will be making one of these today for sure. It’s good to be retired! Thanks again for this particular project! O yeah, I also prefer to add separate knobs and finials to my lids like this. In fact I turn multiples of them to have in stock to apply to my boxes as I go. If nothing fits this current design I turn it now but I have a pretty big variety of them. Usually when finishing a project and have some leftover wood I turn it up then and there so I don’t just toss it in my future possibilities box where it will sit lonely forever! Take care. Scott
Mike I am 3/4 the way done with the winged base. Honey locust. Looking great and I discovered something new, at least to me and I’ve never seen it before watching hundreds of hours of videos. when cutting the outside and you reach the edge of the piece with the bowl gouge you have 2 corners that experience chip out regardless of how light you cut as you enter that straight end grain coming into the tool. I solved that issue in a way that I believe is exciting! I started to chamfer sand those 2 end grain edges at an angle before I made the cut to the edge. Zero tear out so long as your cut doesn’t cut deeper than the softened edge. It’s like back cutting the top edge of a bowl at an angle so you don’t get that tear out on the top edge when cutting the outside of your bowl and exit into the air. I finish a cut shy of that softened edge and if I need to go deeper I soften it with my sander again and work my way up to the final thickness. It worked so well I had to share! I hope this makes sense and welcome your opinion if you try it. Doing this I could go right off the edge into space on the exit and experienced literally no tear out. Hopefully you’ll get this and try it. As I reached my final cuts I just gently pre sanded that edge just slightly and again worked better than I ever expected! Take care! Scott
I think you fixed your sound problems! Love the shape of this. Thanks for not editing out the "oops". Oops stands for Other Optional Possible Solutions.
Good video. Had seen winged bowls but never how it was turned. Thanks. Also, advancing the quill by 1/8s was my "why didn't I think of that" moment. At the 4:22 mark, the lever on the banjo was in the way of your turning the piece. Suggest: Either place the camera for the video overhead or from the back of the lathe. Thanks. Just what I need...another project.😵💫
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I enjoy your videos to the point that I subscribed a while back. Wife asks when I'm getting a cheap hobby. Is there such a critter?
Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but I wonder why you didn't finish shaping the bottom of the wings when it was still on the drive screw? It's a great piece Mike. The lid and finial are very attractive. Excellent wood selection. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Very cool piece, Mike. Did you mention that you have a DYI version of an abrasive compound similar to yorkshire grit? I would be interested in making that myself. I have seen the brit woodturners mention those products and wondered what goes into them. I see these winged boxes and never really put much thought into all the little struggles that go into making them. Fun video to watch, and your solutions to issues along the way are creative and interesting.
Must find some 40mm jaws and be accurate with tenons, we've all been there. I think doing one of those with a live edge log could be interestung,even a set of candlesticks mounted along the curve.
I didn't. I used the same process I typically use for a cross grain bowl. I mount it and rough shape the bottom and add a tenon before reversing and doing the top.
you turned the top of the wings first, why? I think the bottom of the wings would be done first as they are a more complex surface…. This 4 way is one of the best ,seeing different styles technique and bloopers 😂!
Nice one Mike. I'm glad you showed us that you have the same dilemma's as we do with flying objects. Cheers Russell
I appreciate you watching, Russell!
Nice job Mike.

Very nice …. One more to watch I appreciate your videos. I will try this project myself soon.
...watched you and Thomas so far...y'all do just amazing work!...👍
Off to watch the other two...
Matt
Thanks for checking them out, Matt!
Never tried this but may be a future project
Well done Mike, great examples of real work experiences and reviews plus recovery. As others have also commented the Four Ways series is a fantastic resource for Woodturners to get inspiration and encouragement to try their hand at projects.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I appreciate it! I am with your on pre turning precious bits to have handy for that special occasion.
That is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing your technique! I've never tried that before. I will check it out.
great job
Thanks Mike
great video, learned alot thanks
I am glad you found it helpful!
you win
It is not a contest, but I appreciate your support.
A great design, off to see the other three.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the other three designs.
Nice presentation learned the steps necessary that you explained well
Thanks! I’m glad you found the presentation helpful.

Thanks for the feedback! It’s all about learning and not being afraid to make mistakes, Ken.
@MikePeaceWoodturning There are a lot of people who enjoy and appreciate what you do!
Mike, really awsome job, and thanks for mentioning refiner, free add 😊
Your homemade scraper works great 😀
Thanks 👍

I suppos I could have if I sized a Vee groove on the base like Richard did. I did not want to add a permanent chucking feature.

Thnaks for sharing. Here is a video ua-cam.com/video/y-4t7S67-CI/v-deo.html

It is always interesting to find something new we can apply to our own work.
Very nice !!
Why did you turn the top side first?
I didn't. I used the same process I typically use for a cross grain bowl. I mount it and rough shape the bottom and add a tenon before reversing and doing the top.

34:07 Where did you get that long narrow tailstock. If you could post a link that would be phenomenal.
That is from Record Power. I did a review of their centers here ua-cam.com/video/oNEiPKVgjWg/v-deo.html
Well, if you give it wings it'll want to fly.
