Pretty... Nice!
A multi-purpose cube
Here is something a bit different to my normal type of project, a cube turned in the lathe, I hope my metal lathe will forgive me for abusing it. I have no idea what order the photographs will end up in, but they are self explanatory.

Some possible uses for multi-purpose cube
Whilst I thought that this project would turn-out as firewood,because it didn't, here are a few possible uses for it, for those not familiar with it, the wood is West Australian Jarrah finished with three coats of low sheen Poly.

HI Harry Looks Nice
Are you a pipe smoker ??? by chance, it would made a nice humidor if you had a lid for it.
Or a great gift to a mate that is a pipe smoker

The cube
Thanks for kind words. No Bob I'm not a smoker, (not since 4.00pm May 20th 1982) that's when I had a heart attach, but I may well make a lid for it anyway to store small cookies! Dave, does my home-made four way tool post look better? Notice that I gave the lathe a thorough clean this morning. Finally, it was nice to hear from you George, how is template routing progressing?
I just took a shot from where I'm sitting showing the present home for the cube

Hi Corey, the cutter is actually a triple bead bit but only utilising the tips. This box used the same cutter set to it's full depth. I seldom make two boxes the same (even if I set out to I doubt that they would end up identical) I do make lots of mistakes these days but have become adept at turning errors into features!

Great cube, I especially like the use of the beading bit around the outside. I think I'm going to give that a try on my next box project.

Most of the bits he as listed are about 1/3 of the going price and I have got many of them and used most of them and they are great bits for the price.
