Woodturning - Pocket Boxes - Craft Fair Impulse Buy Item

For those shoppers who aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on some hand turned items at the craft fair, it’s always good to have some lower priced items that might grab their attention.

In today’s video I’ll turn a few pen blanks into pocket boxes which is a quick and easy beginners project for woodturners. It’s a low-priced item that sells well at craft markets.

If all of you woodturners are like me, you’ve probably stock piled hundreds of pen blanks. This is a good way to use some of them if you’re tired of making pens and finials.

I begin by securing the blank in the chuck and marking out the top, bottom and where I plan to cut the piece in two. It’s then drilled with forstner bits, and a tenon shaped to fit the lid. You can design any exterior shape.

Feel like buying a beaver some wood?
