Bert,

Most of us can do square boxes, some can do amazing square boxes.

I am learning as You go, to do round boxes as You go through this tutorial.

Thanks for sharing. – Len

Thanks. The one that triggered me to do the round or cylinder type is the difficulty of doing it. Challenge is always there during the construction. Rounding the edges and curve sidewalls can be done by gyration or rotating the cutting bit from a center. Easy when you make with lathe machine, but my target is to use only what is available. That makes the challenge.

Hi Bert
I apologize for being late to the party but I’m caught up now.
This is really a cool idea.
Your imagination knows no bounds and your courage to attempt anything you can dream up is just as admirable.
...................and then there’s the fact that you always succeed.

I can tell you are having fun with this.

Splendid work, Bert. This is a great way to make cylinders.

I am really thankful for both of you Martyn and Paul. You are always behind the scene… Martyn made a round one with bottle mold that is one who triggered me while Paul never ceases to amaze me about the capabilities of veneers that is why I used the veneer. If only I could cut veneer like Paul. I will do this on the side.

or this….

Thanks,

Thanks David,
You can see the rabetting on the rims… that’s your style that I copied only that it is now applied upside down and circular motion. I will have a long way though to have fully your skill cutting pieces for 10 boxes in an hour. My next challenge probably will have to do with starboard side and port side… ???... just leftwards and rightwards too.

You can do it Bert. If I can, you can.
I’m doing some curved marquetry glue-up right now and it turns out it’s not so tough.
I have full confidence that anything you set your mind to, you can do and do well.

That looks easy enough to do if you make yourself a template for the curves first, Bert. Go on have a go.
