Spinning Treasures from the Deep: Simon Hope's shell box

Together with the woodturning legend Simon Hope, we embarked on an exciting journey into the depths of the oceans and discovered a truly unique treasure. Joking aside, this canister shape is indeed quite extraordinary and a real eye-catcher. This project once again shows what can be achieved with a bit of practice and the right tools, even from a small piece of wood.

Are you brave enough to venture into the deep and turn your own shell? Or have you already completed a similar project? We look forward to reading your comments about it.

Here you can find the tools from our video:

A great project...and a pleasure to watch an experienced expert making it look easy to make. Aside, I like the extra tricks and explanations.

I don't understand the purpose for the superglue

Sehr schöne Box, aber mir war das alles etwas zu hektisch. Die meisten Zuschauer werden auch Amateure sein wie ich. Wir haben Zeit und Spaß beim Drechseln.
