Turning a Utility Box 2.0 (Woodturning Project How-To)

Coin Box Blanks - https://woodturnerscatalog.com/produc...

Mike Nish expands on the popular project of the Utility Box with a new version - the Utility Box 2.0. Every aspect of the original Utility Box is reimagined and refined, taking this from a beginner project to an intermediate one for a larger and more ornate box.
He shows in detail each step of the turning process: turning the box outside and inside, shaping the lid for a perfect fit, turning decorative beads, inlaying a knob turned from a different species of wood, and applying a finish to the piece.
