Thanks,
I really, really enjoyed that video! Thanx a million.
Hi,
I’m not sure I will do the next video on how to do the lid.
If the lid or the bottom is tapered at all the lid will not seat properly.
Carl
I am having a problem with a tight lid. The bottom of my box started off about 3 inches long and is now 1 inch long!!!! I cant get the lid to stay on? The air trapped inside seems to be enough to losen and pop the lid off. What am I doing wrong??
Thanks Nic,
I have a “tripod” I mounted above my lathe.

Hi,
I started with 120 grit on the redwood it’s soft and it’s hard to get
a clean cut.
Thanks,
Carl
this is cool but did you start sanding wit 80 grit because your cut you had was about equivelent to 220 grit
Hi Brendan,
I love the contrasting woods on something like this.
Thanks,
Carl
That’s lovely. I have tried mushroom boxes but I was working with one piece of wood and the results weren’t satisfactory but seeing two different woods used here has inspired me to have another go.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
