This is something I turned out yesterday or our next club challenge. Turn a lidded box min of 4 inch tall including the lid. Had to take a break from offering plates so this is it. No finish on it yet. 

That's Nice, Gerald! 

 

Hope that's for lots of little pills and not one great big one !

I wear hearing aids and made this to carry a spare set of batteries-

 

Just have to remember to rotate the batteries so they don't go dead.

nice. Have to remember that when i get mine later this year i hope

Nice pill box.  But I am wondering what kind of pills you take that require a box that large.  

Nicely done.  I like the lid joint hidden in the burned rings too.

Nice little box Gerald, pretty wood too.

Lew, how did you do the threads on your pill box?

Not exactly sanding overall but on the bottom parting off and finish work. For this I used the live center and jamb chuck. Then applied Watco outside with Mahoney's Walnut Oil inside as an experiment. Buffed and applied Renaissance wax.

Very cool Gerald.

Mighty fine pill box Gerald and a nice finish. Lew I like the HA battery carrier too. I wear a cochlear implant myself.

Thanks. Hey @Sid Matheny have you talked to William . Are all the posts from the forum just gone ? even the turorials?
