Bob drills the box bottom with a Forstner bit |
After drilling to the approximate, yet short of bottom, depth he stops to measure |
Bob checks the depth ... |
and finishes drilling to the desired depth |

The lid interface is cleaned up at this point |
Bob does the outside first so that he won't be faced with changes in shape caused by hollowing |
After laying out and cutting his pattern, he coats the work with a sanding sealer and turpentine mix |
This helps with a very clean final cut |

With all of the cameras and mike wires, Bob had to be very careful moving around |
Being left-handed, Bob likes to hollow from the other side of the lathe |
Here he hollows with a home-made tool with a tool steel cutter silver soldered on to a shaft at an angle |
Bob took every opportunity to explain what he was doing as well reinforcing turning basics |

It is all dried off |
Bob gets started on a jam chuck to finish the box bottom |
