Right on. I have an abundance of free time for the next couple months. Any books or websites you'd recommend where I could do some further research on woodworking?

I appreciate it. I was thinking I'd start off trying my hand at small things like ashtrays, hinged boxes, or maybe even some abstract art that I could hang on my wall. I saw this online and thought it'd be really cool to put up in my living room:

well as far as lathing here ->  http://s473.photobucket.com/user/MrApple2437/library/?sort=3&page=1 ;   are some pictures of things i've made, you can check out my user gallery, and you can always check out this ->  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18248127 ; thread for things that mad machinist and i have both made. hinged boxes and that abstract art aren't really things that would be made on a lathe (although not impossible) and schLong would know better on that avenue.

Thanks again for the tips. I'll keep in touch with you and/or shLong if I have any more questions.

I have to get going for tonight tho. :peace:

Edit: I just read the post where you said you made some pieces with Machinist. Ask him if he ever got the computer to work that I sent him. I haven't heard from him in a pretty long time.

dude, schLong, your cutting boards are way better than my things. They look very professional. but i appreciate the compliment. It is pretty easy to get decent at lathing i think so i mean you could always try to pick it up.

Generally when i make something it is the first time im making it since I only have so much time to make things and I like the variety of it. Although In the past i made ~10 rings and over thanksgiving break I made 4 ashtrays (which i have no pictures of :thumbdown: )  But lately i've been making bowl like items as seen above. each a bit different, since my wood is way too wet to make any boxes so i was kinda driven to the larger figures that can warp a little when they dry without impacting the functionality

These are beautiful - truly a work of art. You should definitely sell them as there are plenty of people who would pay upwards of $50 for a handmade cutting board. Make your own etsy account and start at $75 and see what happens. You can always come down in price if they aren't selling.

Thanks, man... :smile:

I'll probably make another half dozen and see if I can open an account and sell.
I sell seeds on eBay, so I may start there.

Alright. I have all my materials ready to start this little project except the actual wood.

I just had a few questions.
-Which type of wood would you recommend that's easy to work with and relatively cheap?
-By router, do you mean a Dremel tool of sorts?
-Once I have the box and lid ready, what product(s) do I use to give it a shiny finish as well as make resistant to absorbing water?

This is a router. It's what gives beveled edges and such, you just buy different bits for different decorative designs.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Thanks, I gotcha. Looks like the tip of it is basically a Dremel bit. I'm not going to go out and buy a power tool that big and expensive to just experiment with a new hobby. That's why I was wondering if a Dremel would work...?

Dremel does make router bits.. I'm not sure how well it performs as one though, and I wasn't telling you to go out and buy the tool, just answer the question on what it is.

For the wood....
Pine is cheap and soft and easy to work with.
Oak is nice, but a little pricey and hard wood.
Same with walnut and maple.

For the router discussion... You could make the box and then use your tool to do etchings instead of a routed edge. So you could just make a straightforward box and then use your artistic abilities with the dremel to add some serious pizazz to it :smile:
For the finish... There are a ton of options. May be best to Google it and read replies on a woodworking forum.
I'd say a stain and laquor.

Awesome! Thanks for all the advice shLong.

I'll post some pictures as I go along the process. From what I've been reading, even though oak is a bit more expensive, it looks so much more beautiful. I have a table saw so the hardness of it wouldn't be a big factor in cutting it compared to pine since I don't have to use a hand saw. Thanks again.
