Using a lathe, and with the aid of various other tools, Richard Raffan teaches how to make turned boxes with suction-fit or screw-on lids. He also demonstrates almost every technique useful in end-grain turning: truing with skews, profiling with gouges, hollowing with scrapers, using calipers; also making a jam-fit chuck and fixing a split on the lathe.

Watch Richard Raffan at the lathe, demonstrating the projects and exercises from his popular book "Turning Wood with Richard Raffan" (published in 1985).
