Project Information

Heres a little grease box i made. I dont own a lathe for wood, only one for metal, so i rounded it on my disc sander and the inside is hollowed out with a chisel, because I didn't have a forstner bit big enough. I never got to put grease in it though as my sister saw it and wanted it for her rings. I glued a piece of red velour inside before she took it home. The design I totally stole from a fellow Dane called Mafe in here.
The wood is Oak and Purple Heart.
Thanks for looking. Kenni

I'm sure Mafe would approve of you using his fine design! Making your sister happy is way better than filling it with grease! Nice work improvising with the tools you had!

I remember a while back grease boxes were all the rage. Maybe yours will start another round of them. Yours is pretty cool being made by a sander.

Nice little box. I'm sure you sister will enjoy it for many years. Of course her friends will also want one so step up your production.

I made similar boxes for salt cellars. You might try that next, the cooks love them.

I really like the precision that these show, especially for such a small size, Coolio!

I turn wood on my old Craftsman metal lathe though admittedly I had to find a couple of tool rests at the swapmeet.
What's stopping you?

Cute little jar/box… but damn DK, you ruined the illusion with picture #2 (and following)...

Thought you were one-upping Mafe

with a foot operated lid.

Neat little box. I see the man with 16,000 projects has visited you too!
I started my wood turning on a metal lathe.

Cheers, Jim

Such a fine grease box, well done!
I can see they are family, thanks.
You should post it here https://www.lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/19229 in the comments, that was a tradition years back, when someone made a greasebox.
Thank for your thoughts.
A big smile,
Mads
