Keith,
The bar is certainly too high for some of us (me in particular). I don't particularly like the box finial, but that's just my opinion. You executed Cindy's project very well.
Someone must put all the pics together at the end of this. A job for you, ?
I've found that if the lid-fit or jam chuck is a fraction tight, I simply hold the base or the jam chuck in my hands for a minute or so. The base expands a fraction with the "heat" and you're on your way again. Oops, it's the other way around....Last edited by jefferson; 7th August 2009 at 03:22 PM. Reason: I got it wrong

Thanks for the jam chuck freeing tip Jeff, I'll try that next time.
I started out a bit cold on the finial but I'm pretty attached to the little box now. Plenty of faults but a bit of fun to make.Keith

Sweet! Must do a Silky one too.
Don't some people drill a hole in the jam chuck so you can poke something through to get the thing out again.anne-maria.

Yep. Hot-melt.
It just peels off. If you're just HMGluing a spigot on it can be tricky; you need to be very, very careful when taking heavy cuts. Combined with a jam-chuck it's a pretty solid mount.

In this case the jam chuck was the base of the box so not a good idea to drill a hole in it

Maybe not, but it wouldn't be the first time someone did just that...

Believe me I was thinking about doing that! With the foot added and the inside lined with gold leaf (not that I have any of that) no one would ever know

Very nice work and I think I've learnt a lot from your discussion and the other comments made by everyone else
I hope my third is in the same class as yours
Yeah RR makes it look so simple. I'm at home crook so have watched his DVD a couple of times (Lane Cove library has it for those who are in this neck of the woods)
A suggestion for your dust extractor nozzle. I've put a piece of gutter guard in/across mine. So when you lose the piece of sandpaper it doesn't end up in the dusty. Not that that is much of a problem. But it is a PITA when it is a new piece . I've got mine sort of hinged so it lifts out of the way when I'm doing chisel work, otherwise it clogs up with curlies.regards

Thanks Sawdustmaker and Ed.
That DVD (from Brisbane library) was about the first thing I saw when I started woodturning 3 months ago. I though holy #$%^ how am I supposed to do that! I'm still not game to try his hollowing technique and I don't rough anything out with a skew chisel otherwise I follow his methods as best I can but much slower.
That's a good idea with the dust extractor. I do have a dustbin separator which makes it easier to recover the sandpaper but it's still a nuisance! I got some of that hermes stuff that has been recommended in the forum on Saturday and certainly don't want to lose that!Keith
