Project Information
A Good Neighbour I have known for Donkeys Years, gave me a chunk of Hard Wood from an Old Fence Post.
So I have made a Lidded Box for him.
It is 3 1/2 inches high and 3 1/2 inches wide. I have a lot of trouble with hollowing. I use a Forstener Bit and enlarge the hole from there with a large parting chisel…BEDAN CHISEL…this is a really great tool, but I would love to develop the skill of being able to do end grain hollowing with a Spindle Gouge. It looks easy on a video but in practice not so easy…so I guess just keep trying !!!!
The Box is finished with 3 coats of Bench Top Varnish and rubbed between each coat with 0000 Steel Wool.
Kind regards,
Cliff
