Pumpkin Box - Combining Box, Sphere, and Multi-Axis

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com In this video, I create a pumpkin box which combines box making, sphere turning, and multi-axis techniques. A standard box is not difficult but does require creating a mortise and tenon joint between the base and the lid. Turning a sphere is much easier when the octagon technique is used as the octagon provides layout measures to guide the sphere. Multi-axis techniques create the characteristic ribs we see on a organic pumpkin. Rolling these together does require some adjustments particularly in making the box joint. A novice turner should view this video to set a learning target. Then, watch my other videos on turning a sphere to learn the underlying octagon technique and cup chuck techniques before coming back to turn this pumpkin. My jar is about 3 inches diameter of ash, finished with shellac friction polish. I demonstrated this at S.W.A.T and in IRD.
