Woodturning an Urn with Threaded Brass Inserts
This was a fun and very satisfying project. I found an online supplier of threaded brass inserts and was very pleased with their quality. It just seems that brass was far more proper to use than plastic for this project. I used walnut, birdseye maple and purpleheart and arranged the segments in an understated and respectful way befitting an urn. In other words, just a little color with nothing flashy. The interior space is 205 cubic inches. I hope you enjoy my video. Thank you for watching! --Dan

Hi Dan, I am a 17 year co-worker with Erich Schroeder, Lynn's husband. He talked about you and sent me this link. Thanks for this, it means so much to Erich. I too am a woodworker but no lathe and not close to this skill level. Anyway, thanks for helping in a time of need.

Hi Brian, I'm so sorry to hear about Lynn's passing. I found her obit. However, I'm still trying to connect the dots on this. I'm guessing that someone was able to use my "cut list" from the video to create this urn. Is this correct? If so, I hope it was helpful.

An absolutely beautiful piece, Dan. The segmented body, the burl lid, the finial and the brass insert all came together perfectly. I like your shop assistant, too.
That is a beautiful piece. Certainly respectful.
Nicely done with a perfect choice of contrasting woods.
Very stunning Urn Dan spectacular, you are the king of segmented. Thanks for sharing and have a great 4th.
Such a gorgeous urn...this would honor anyone!
Fantastic work. Congrats!!!!!
Wow...what an amazing piece of art!!
Hi Dan, segmented turning is something you have to do with passion. I see that in every second of your videos. You do a great job and I know what precise and hourtaking work is. This week I made a segmented sink, you can see that also on KZread. Best wishes Andreas
Bonjour dan, encore une fois c est une très belle réalisation, merci pour le partage
Excellent. An urn I’d be proud to have my ashes in. 😉

UN TRABAJO GENIAL.
Muy muy bonito felicidades 👍🇪🇸

Bellissima.
Wow, amazing! Had never heard of Purple Heart wood before; how beautiful that is. Watching you create is very relaxing. Hope this question is okay, but do urns come in sizes? People do come in different sizes... It would be an honor to have one’s ashes in such a well crafted urn such as this.

Hi Lynda, thank you. Yes, urns come in different sizes. Each pound is equal to one cubic inch of volume. Therefore, a 200 pound person after being cremated would require a 200 cubic inch urn.
Beautiful piece as always. I’m so glad I found your channel. I look forward to your videos each week. What program are you using to calculate the segments?

Hi Carlos, thank you! I use WoodTurner Pro software.
Wow. Your work is some of the nicest, most pleasing to the eye I've seen. I was noticing your lathe. Nova 1624II. What would be the difference between yours and say, a Grizzly GO462?

Thank you. I like my Nova very much. I just upgraded to the DVR motor. I'm not that familiar with the Grizzly, but I do think that both have a 16 swing distance over the bed.
Hi Dan, I am amazed about the esthetic of work. Question: do you have a calculator or software that you recommend? Thanks in advance and continue to inspire us

Lovely work! Did you use plumbing parts for the brass inserts or did you buy from R & M Crafts? If the former, is there a part name we should look for? Thanks
