Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a wooden hollow egg maraca out of basswood. I turned the two halves separately and then glued them together. I added rice inside of them to make the noise.
I would really like to thank Mr. Colwin Way because one of his tutorials helped me a lot with this project, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PW1yRGiyEk
I begun by roughly drawing the shape I was going for on my stock.
I then created the tenons for my chuck and cut the piece in half on the bandsaw.
I rounded the piece with a roughing gouge and a skew. I then made a depth hole and hollowed the interior with the hook tool which works really nicely on end grain.
I then turned the other half of the egg.
I added rice inside. I added the amount of rice that sounded better in my ears. I then glued the two halves together.
To clean the bottom of the egg I made a jam chuck. This is just a tube in which the egg fits snuggly. I also added a hole in the bottom. In case the egg stuck I could use a dowel to pop it out. I used the centre hole to put the egg nicely centred in the jam chuck. I then used a bowl gouge to clean it up. After sanding I used my buffing wheel system to polish my egg.
And my little egg was ready. It came out really nice but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
