Skull Box
#makerboxchallenge
A timber, metal and plastic box with a skull motif on each face, made with a unique 'stick of rock' technique.
My project as part of the Maker Box Challenge made for @simply_orn8 who sent me the box of off cut materials for me to create with.
Why not take part yourself...box up off cuts of your favourite materials and send them off to a maker friend and challenge them to make something with it...maybe you will receive a great object back at the end.
My box is on its way to @badgersworkshop, really look forward to seeing what he makes with his box of potential.
The Evolution table saw R255MTS was put through its paces in the making of this project, it would have been harder to have made without it. Big thanks Evolution Power Tools.
Just to be clear Evolution Power Tools sent me the saw to try out, they have not sponsored the video though I do get to keep the saw.

![Bandsaw woodturning - Makers Central Chess Piece Challenge
Bandsaw woodturning - Makers Central Chess Piece Challenge
A chess piece made for the Makers Central chess piece challenge...turned on a bandsaw!
Makers Central show - NED - Birmingham UK - 5-6th May 2018...the first big makers meet up in the UK with loads of YouTube makers turning up...and 32 of them turning [or carving] a chess piece for a chess set that will be auctioned off for charity.
The challenge was for any material, any colour! and about 35mm in diameter.
How about a chequered pattern to the pawn...is it white or is it black?
Cut, glued, cut and glued a block up into a chequered block.
Made a a jig to spin the block with a cordless drill...made two identical templates of the piece that I wanted to turn and glued to a bandsaw sled.
Nail two guide pins into the turning jig and spin the block with the drill carefully reducing the block of wood following the shape of the template.
Take it slowly and keep hands out of the way...and the chess piece shape takes shape.
Spin the shape and sand to a nice finish.
Cut off the pin...and drill a hole in the neck of the pawn...for a snug fit of the head.
Sand down a piece of each of the timbers, maple [white] and walnut [black] and glue together...cut and sand into a disc...drill a hole in the middle and place between the body and head of the chess piece...which ever colour points upwards denotes the colour of the chess piece.
Spray stencil my makers mark on the bottom so that the winner of the set knows who made which piece and finish with some wax...
...make a little packing case with left over stripy wood and carefully pack inside with some of the shavings and a little concertina booklet.
All done to join the rest of the set...super excited to see the whole set together.
If you would like to bid for the set either get yourself along to the show or visit the Makers Central website http://www.makerscentral.co.uk/
