I just received a request for an urn. These two videos have been super helpful in providing me direction and tips.
Great to hear!
Thanks, very informative, I did notice that when you chiseled of the top from the glue block you had the wood grain turned side grained, it less likely to split if you chiseled from the end grain orientation. I’m sure you know that but some viewers might not. Thanks for another great video!
Great point!
A member of our club made me 5 ring sets with his 3D printer.
That is interesting! I have not heard of that before.
Great ideas...I'm turning an urn for my husband and I used brass threaded inserts from FromWalnutsToAntlers.
Very nice. Sure costs more than pvc or cutting wood threads once you have the jig. I certainly hope this is pre-need!
Thank you Mike. This has been very informative. Fortunately I do not have a need for an urn right now. This will be a good reference for when the need comes. Thank you for sharing and please stay healthy.
IMHO, Glen, an urn is not something you want to have to make when you have a need. Make one when you have the wood and the ability. Here is hoping you will not have a need anytime soon.
Good point.
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the lid/threading details.
Thanks Mike great idea to use PVC. I'm working on a pet urn right now and I just glue the lid on. The next one I may just hollow out from the bottom and use your method to plug the bottom leaving a solid seamless top. Thanks again and God bless you.
That will work. I think a lot of how to seal appears on what you or the recipient judges to look good. I did an earlier video on an urn that I turned for me (no need in sight) my wife agreed on the design but dilike the dye job saying it looked like an egg plant!
Hk you Mike. Will use this I’m half way thru a segmented urn.
Timing is everything! Stay safe.
Around here, we call that the 'Plumber's Trick' ... works pretty well! I do some thread-chasing,and have done some urns with chased threads. I have a vacuum chamber that I use to stabilize small pieces of domestic hardwoods (cherry, maple, and walnut) with Cactus Juice. I cut threads into the stabilized blanks and create inserts that can be epoxied into the urn.
Yep. I used pvc for the video tutorial. The two I made had chased threads or cut with a jig.
Great job !
Good work on both part 1 & 2. Minor suggestion when parting off the pipe fittings, or any "tubular" piece (Think napkin rings). Put a length of dowel in your Jacobs chuck in the tailstock to act as a parts catcher. Saves chasing the buggers all over the shop! Stay safe and well.
That is a great suggestion! Thanks.

Mike, excellent project and great instruction. I can appreciate the amount of planning that you had to go through to bring this to closure. Beautiful urn. I thank you for the great turning and instruction.
Yes, it does take a good bit of time and effort to produce these, but I enjoy it. Thanks for your support.
Great instruction as usual, and very beautiful wood as well. Have a Blessed Easter Mike.
An God bless you as well.
I use a thin putty knife 1" - 3" to separate items from a glue block. Just another idea. Great video.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing, Jim.
Mike, As always enjoyed the demo, after all we're just making sawdust.
I also prduce some designer firewood!
Beautiful wood. I hope it is not something I need to turn any time soon, but love the idea of the PVC fittings to make a screw top.
ONce a Boy Scout always a Boy Scout.
If you would rather have metal and finer pitched threads for your lids, sink drain baskets are available in a few different sizes too. Solid brass ones will turn on our lathes and with our tools with no problem.
can you supply a link to these please
Very nice work
Thanks a lot
Beautiful work, Mike! Really well done! 😃
I love working with PVC, it's a great material!
You could use brass pipes and stuff as well, but I guess it would be much more difficult. 😕
Anyway, stay safe there! 🖖😊
And you as well. Staying in place and turning.
Thanks for sharing,,be safe
You bet
MIke, It works well but I thought I'd be able to get at least two sets of threads out of one set of clean out valve but they don't seem to work if you don't have the starting thread. Have you ever tried to get a second set? I'm using a 3" valve assembly (black) and the male side is 5-6 bucks with a female piece about 10 bucks. Maybe I should go with your other video and start cutting the threads in the urn myself. Thanks for your nice videos. Timothy
I just got one set from it.
Mike thanks for the video. looking for just what you were showing on making the entry hole larger. What kind of cameras are you using please?
Canon Vixia camcorder, 3 webcams. See my recent video on Virtual Cclub meetign to see my setup.
Thanks!
Thanks, Melinda!
While I didn’t mind watching the concentration on your face , I feel the small insert screen could have been used to show a different perspective on how your used the tools. That could be just me. A great project as my step daughter lost her dog this past December and would like an urn made. Keep safe during these difficult times. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for the input, Brian. You stay safe as well.
Very nice work and I liked the use of PVC, I did something similar in making my granddaughter a ballet barre. PVC turns quite well. I will have to give this a try. I hope you have gotten over the green screen effect. Not sure what the use of a little you in the lower right corner is. Other than to see you, but I have seen several channel in which the presenter isn't seen at all. Green screen works really good if there is something behind you to show, like the weather. LOL.
Sometimes you have to try things to decide whether they work or not. Maybe me in the corner does not work in a video. During a interactive live demo over the internet, the consensus is that seeing you in the corner is more like a real demo.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning key difference is "interactive", people like to see you when you are talking to them, not so much when you are just talking. Overall it was a good video, just did not fine the green screen affect effective. You asked.
Great video Mike. Thank you! I do have one question for you. Most of the video coming from your small inset was only of your head. Was that intenional?
Actually it was. I could not get a good view from my second camera that small. Clearly that needs some work with my green screen.
Great video. What was the tool you used to put in the bead in the top? Thanks

Another great video Mike! You always pop up when I am looking for help. I am in the middle of making an urn now and was trying to work out how to do the lid. Question: You put a concave on the collar so that the edge touches the urn first. However, it looks like the urn is flat on the top. How much glue surface did you have with the collar and urn? Thanks!
Enough with wood glue. The concave is slight so suspect there is still glue holding on the entire surface of the collar. There is also glue where it fits into the urn opening.
Really good instructions Mike. I like your new video layout... well, except for the spike coming to the center of your work. 😏
I was wondering if brass fittings would work. The PVC does work nicely but the white. 😜 Then again if it's for an urn, it's not like someone will be opening it more than once. Certainly hope not. 😱
You never know what folks want to do with an urn of ashes. Brass is too expensive and hard to wrok for me. I would rather cut threads in wood. But this is a good alternative for folks without a threading jig.
Mike, love your videos. Long time subscriber. What video editing app do you use and about how long do you spend on editing a video before you post it to CZcams? I'm passionate about wood turning, too.
I use Vegas Movie Studio. The time to edit is usually much more than the time to shoot the project. I spend far more time on my pc than I do in my shop but then that includes CZcams upload and optimization and continual learning, replying to comments and studying analytics on my videos to figure what I need to do better which includes research on what I think folks want to see.. I guess I should keep some time logs but just can't seem to get motivated to do that. Thanks for your continued support, Tom.
Where or how did you do the black etching on you tool handle
It is called fractal burning. I no longer use that dangerous technique and have taken down my videos on it. More than 50 woodturners have died using this technique incorrectly, with highly dangerous microwave transformers. I had safe techniques and used a far less powerful neon sign transformer. You can't measure stupid.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning that's what i thought it was. The marks are beautiful....the process Deadly
Mike, do you have a good way to make a name tag and attach it to the urn.
I would check out someone with a laser engraver. Trophy shops probably do this if you can find one.
And, where did you get it?

Why didn't you use your threading thing a ma jig that you demoed a few yrs back?
Only because some folks can't affortd them and need an alternative. I would prefer cutting wood threads!
What kind of glue gun do you use?
It is in my Amazon shop. Here is the link I have in the show notes for every video. I get a small commission from purchases. www.amazon.com/shop/mikepeace...
LIKE THE WORK BUT THE WALL BEHIND YOU COMING UP THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF YOUR WORK ON THE SPLIT SCREEN SUCKS
Yes, that does need some work.
your secondary video is very distracting--we dont need to see your face!!!
I agree
