Great timing Mike. After being isolated for a long period, there may be some wives want to put us in one of these. Seriously, my father in law would love if I turned an urn for him, and would like to see it for a while before he needs it. Great information on sizing, and lid. Thank you
I have stopped using screws for face plates. I am sick of wearing out the head of the screws. I'm now using lag bolts with bolt heads. Using a socketto drive them in I have never needed to replace them.Montana Wood Art.
Well, at least this gives me an idea for when my time comes to meet my maker. I was thinking a Florsheim shoe box would hold my ashes, but this sheds a new light on things since someone might mistake my ashes for cat litter if stored in a shoe box.
Your video is the second one about urns in as many days recommended to me by UA-cam. I figure a message is being conveyed from someone...a higher power??????🙏
Mike, Any details on what appeared to be a flat plate vacuum chuck? I have a similar size piece of Fl mahogany that I have been saving for exactly this purpose. Great idea with the threads!!! Thanks for all you do for us!
3/4" Baltic Birch disk aboutr 12" in daimeter gluee to a wooden threaded glue block. A couple of pieces of 1/16 closed cell foram (fun foam) glued to the surface. Probably my most used vacuum chuck.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Now it makes sense, I believe your machine has the vacuum chuck adapter built in! So a foam covered "faceplate" would work great. I'll have to try to build something like that! Thanks so much Mike!
Hi Mike. I am a little confused with the formula to find volume. When I take the top row and use your formula, I do not get 36c”. I get 42.39c” What am I missing?
I don’t think I will ever be able to do that, but I enjoy watching you.
Never say never. And the two part urn I did recently certainly is easier and does not require specialize hollowing tools.
One of the best tips I learned from your videos. Take the piece to the sanding disc on the lathe, rather than using a disc on a drill.
A drill press is an alternative.
Thanks for the info on volume and proportions. It looks very good up to this point. Moving on to part 2.
looks good so far mike and ill be back to watch part two buddy . hope your safe and doing well . god bless my friend .
Thank you, Mike. I appreciate all of the useful proportion tips.
For most woodturners, tool control comes first before we can really concentrate on design.
Hi Mike, I have been asked to make a cask so this gives me a great start. Thanks from Scotland
Glad it helped. I had a great visit to Scotland a couple of years ago. I believe Edinburgh may be the most beautiful city I have ever visited.

Thanks, Scott. Glad you found it useful. I have a couple of other videos on urns. On my channel just do a search on urn
Beautiful work, Mike! 😊
Thanks!
Why not drill a larger hole with a forstner bit to eliminate some of the wood removal with turning tools?
Cutting end grain with a large forstner bit is hard! It won't save time.

I guess I am not using them often enough to wear out. If I do, I will replace with lag bolts. Thanks for sharing.

I pray you are in touch with your maker before then. 🙏🙏

Loving it so far Mike. Heading off to part 2. Curious why you don't use countersink screws.
Hard to find the right size and do not want to use slotted wood screws.

Area of a circle = pi*R*R D=6.75" R=6.75/2=3.375 R2=11.39 Pi =3.24 11.39*3.14= ~36
What kind of glue did you use to attach the blank to the bottom?
Wood glue.
I'm new to wood turning. Why the sanding sealer? What does it do and is it needed? I may have more dumb follow up questions lol
Maybe this will answer your questions ua-cam.com/video/qYTMqxV_1vg/v-deo.html
how often do people send you wood? that seems like a great perk
That was the first and only.
