Eliot Feldman, MCW Program Director, and Demonstrator for the evening - beginning a "box" by roughing a cylinder from a spalted maple square
Eliot parting off roughly 2/3 to separate the base from the lid
Hollowing the box lid with a gouge
Continuing hollowing with a scraper
Answering a question
Measuring is critical for a "snap" fit
Adding the tenon to the base
Using the base as a jam chuck to shape and sand the combined form
Completing the top of the lid
Separating the lid from the base
Defining the foot
Hollowing the base with a gouge
Continuing with a scraper
Don't go too deep!
Rechecking that fit
More measuring
Transferring the diameter to the cutoff to make it into a jam chuck for finishing the bottom of the base. Yes, Eliot got a "pop" fit. Well done.
