Thank You Phil, Thank You John Fergerson... I liked the camera shoulder view Phil, a little different angle...Torch?, yea a torch. That thing that lights up and Brit's keep in the boot or the car, right ? (I love it, so different) ha. Culinary supply stuff uses mini torches for Creme Brulé's. I think they use it to carnalize the top of the deserts?...Nice turning today Phil & as always I look forward to your next adventure...Boy that before & after pictures at the end is quite different.... TM
Tuffy is back! I do have one of those kitchen torches, I just don't think they have enough heat to burn wood, efficiently. But, now I know what to search for! 😊
À torch is a flashlight to you guys over there. A blowtorch is what you were calling a torch Phil. A chef's blowtorch or kitchen blowtorch is a handy wee thing. Nice & small
Thank you so much! 😄
Where is my smell-o-vision? I know that smells awesome. I respect your choice of finishes, but I've found that after sanding sealer, polyurethane works best on cedar. Looks good and keeps the red from fading over time. Just my 2 cents. A beautiful bowl out of beautiful wood. And it's always a pain to keep the bark. Thanks Phil. Great job!
I'm sure you are right, Steve. I just try to stay with natural finishes, now. Wipe on poly used to be my go to. 😊
Search for a cooking torch or flamethrower. They're small and used for browning marshmallows etc. Like the red cedar bowl. The red color in the wood is very pretty. Stay warm and have a good weekend.
Thank you, Mary! 😊
It’s a blow torch 😊😊 normal torch is a battery powered flashlight and a blowtorch is the gas powered flame one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! 😊
I always enjoy youre commentary during the turning and the beautiful work you do
Thank you! Cheers! 😄
I love turning Red Cedar! It smells soooo good! It's a weird wood, soft and hard at the same time. I turned a little bowl my husband glued up for me from scraps he uses for cutting boards. It was Paduk and Sapele. My husband's torch died. He put in the search Bens-o-matic, and he got torches. You can get them at Lowes and Home Depot.
Thanks, Jane! 😊
Hi 👋, Phil, what is burning, 🔥, A small gas torch for soldering copper pipe, and if you want to go the other way, roofing gas torch, or weeding gets torch, might find these a bit too big, you’ll end up burning your place down, I have a roofing torch, it does a lovely job of getting rid of weeds, . Had problems this evening. Sorry it’s morning, couldn’t sleep very well, so I got up around 3 o’clock in the morning and started watching your program, I know, had a problem, the au pair girl 🧒 😂 and obviously been cleaning my hi-fi equipment, I had no sound, it appears the mute button had been pressed, silly, Billy, 😂, and yes, I listen to my UA-cam through my hi-fi equipment,
As per usual, the bowl looks amazing, that was definitely a lot of signing sealer and shellac to get a finish on it, but as we know you’ll get there on the end, And I have made a bit of progress with my workshop come garage, I’ve now got the DPM down, getting ready to lay concrete. Might be doing it this coming week, Keep up the great work. Stay safe.,
This all sounds great, I know you are looking forward to it! 😊
Hey Phil. The coloring of that wood is amazing. I love watching you turn nothing into something. 😊😊
Thanks a bunch 😊
Well done! I have some cedar logs; I believe I'm inspired to do a "banana bowl".
Yay! Have fun, Jack! 😊
I have left the mound in the middle on a few bowls and use them to hold toothpicks and fill the bowl with cheese cubes or fruit cubes. Works for parties. Love the final look of the bowl.
Cool idea, Jeff, thanks! 😊
It's called a flame thrower. You once said on an earlier video that you let the wood dictate what it wants to do and I'm glad you did that with the bark those grains on top are awesome beautiful wood turning. May God bless you for making these video's we truly enjoy your work 🙏
Thank you so much, Rene! 😊
To an Englishman, a flame thrower is more along the lines of a military weapon you might see in a WWII film. A small handheld torch with a flame is called a blow torch.
Allowing the wood to do its thing and tell me what it wants to be is my philosophy on turning. Very rarely will I set out to make something specific and it's usually a box of some sort or it's a handle for a tool.
Try "Gas torch"
Morning Phil, I'm bright and early today, started watching at 6am, that's more like it. Cuppa tea in bed watching Phil make something beautiful, happy days.🤗
I just paused to say that it's just occurred to me your workshop would be the ideal candidate for infrared heating, far IR panels or perhaps even an outdoor type visible infrared stand heater. I've been researching it for my home and I've discovered it works well in larger spaces because it doesn't heat the air first to get you warm it warms you first: like the sun without the UV rays. I don't know if anywhere in your neck of the woods manufactures them, we have locally made panels here in the UK, they come with smart controllers which make them easy to use and cheaper to run than you'd expect. Of course they are silent and require no maintenance. Suspended from the ceiling they will heat the whole room if sized correctly, (they use them in churches, Fully Charged/Everything Electric Show just reviewed Herschel's Halo heaters designed to blend in with church architecture, they're beautiful!) or you can put them on a wall or get them on a stand to warm a smaller area, but ceiling suspension is most effective and they're not that expensive, here at least.
Ok, back to the video.👍
Ha ha, yes it's obviously a flame -thrower! I'll have a think and a look through the comments to see if anyone else can remember what we call it!😅
Well I never thought I'd say it but the natural edge was much better than a live edge on this one Phil, that bark was a bit furry eh?! So pleased you managed to get that beautiful wood to shine, must have been a lot of work I'm sure. Definitely did it justice though, another gorgeous piece. 👍😊
Over here, Costco sells an infrared heater but, it's portable and kind of large. I just don't have room for it. Ceiling hung might worked. My shop has no insulation and lots of gaps in the doors and the unfinished ceiling where the bird blocks let in lots of fresh air. None of it is really practical. When we moved in here, the shop was completely empty. I knew that was my one and only chance to seal it all up but, I couldn't wait to get my shop all set up, so, here I am! 😊 Thank you, Jude!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopyeah you really need the good quality ones with the suspension kit and the smart controllers to make it worth while. The ones they sell in places like Costco can be a false economy as they're not always the correct power for your space. The drafts don't matter so much if you can size the panels right and place them in an ideal position. There are guides on the websites as to the best size and power rating for your room depending on it's cubic feet and amount of insulation. Which in your case is definitely none because you just could wait to get to turning and who can blame you! Cheers Phil, see you next time. 😊👍
💚🐇🐣💚 Easter is coming soon so it will probably be candy bananas in that case. The dish turned out great. Have a nice weekend Carsten
Thanks, Carsten! 😊
Hi Phil this Red Cedar is fantastic I love the way the wood has the red/pink hard wood in the middle it really shines. I believe taking the bark of and just having the beautiful grain showing was a reaĺy good idea. I really love the banana bowl it is magnificent, thank you for a fabulous video. Amanda xx
Thank you very much, Amanda! 😄 I'm glad you agree about the bark!
Another lovely bowl Mr Anderson, you make it look so easy! We call them blow lamps or blow torches, I think we find it equally confusing to call a torch a flashlight if it doesn't flash 😉 Jane ❤
Haha, so confusing, Jane! 😊
Bea-utiful result, Phil! Good that you got rid of the bark on this piece. Red cedar is a lovely wood, full of colour and character.
Thanks, Richard! 😊
You tuned a beautiful banana bowl, it turned out just gorges. I have a lot of experience turning red cedar. Depending what you are turning, bark or barkless, there is some hidden beauty under the bark. The bark leaves a grain stain underneath that a lot of times make the project pop. Here in Jefferson City Missouri, most of our forest is just THICK with Red Cedar and we dont have a lot of other woods to chose from to turn. Since you a root/bowl turner, the red, white and burl like grain pattern in the bottom of the bowl can be spectacular. The multi different colors and wild grain patterns blend themselves and are indescribable!!!! I haven't tried to burn the top of the bowl where the bark was. I had another SENIOR MOMENT and didn't even think about that method. Leave it to you to suggest that, that is why I ( LOVE) your channel, I learn some thing every time I watch your video. KEEP ON TURNING ❤
Thank you so much for your great comment! 😊
Here in the North of the UK,we call them blow torches. Nice job as always Phil.
Thanks, Andy! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop that's it, well done Andy, I'm from the southeast and that's what we call them too...when we can remember!! 😂
Hey Phil..
I started turning about 5 months ago and I just wanted to tell you, how thankful I am for you and your videos.. I’m hooked on live edge bowls now 😅
I‘m learning so much from you - thanks for sharing, mate. 🙏🏼
That is awesome! Welcome to the club! 😀
Great bowl. We call them a blow torch.
Thanks, Gary! 😊
In New Zealand, a torch has batteries, or if it burns, it's a gas torch, flame torch, or flame gun. Love your cedar bowl, and i love the smell of cedar when I'm turning it.
Thank you, Denise! 😊
It's called a dragon, Phil! Love the banana boat too😊
Haha, thanks, Karen! 😊
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening… howdeee! I think this one turned out really nice. The natural edge is really interesting and I love the color.
Cool, thanks, Ryan! 😊
I think my favorite part of turning red cedar is the way it makes my shop smell!
😊
The bowl is beautiful and I like the new camera angle near the beginning. It shows everything that is going on.👍
Cool, Thank you! 😊
Hi Phil,in NZ we call them butane or gas torch, come with a pre loaded pressure cannister, usually about 1 litres size . Love the Red Cedar. Regards George
Thank you, George! 😊
Phil , what a fine banana bowl ! These fun little project a great once in awhile . I enjoyed your video . Have a great weekend .
Thanks, Jon, you too! 😊
Propane torch Phil. Your piece is beautiful like always. I'll bet your shop smells great. Thank you for sharing. I see you next week
Thanks, Albert! 😊
Beautiful piece! I love the color. I bet turning the cedar smelled really good.
Thank you, Tubie! 😊
Bet your shop smelled good while you were turning that lovely Cedar Banana Bowl:)
Maybe but, I couldn't smell it, Becky! 😊
Another triumph, thank you for allowing us to enjoy your production, again. It is just as well that we 'Brits' do not take offence too readily at remarks made by 'Colonials', perhaps because we are well used to receiving them! Winston Churchill, who was half American, once said that Britain and America were two countries divided by a common language, your experience goes to prove his point. I look forward to enjoying future productions, they are always great experiences.
Thanks for your delightful comment, Owen! 😊
I love the colour of the Heartwood, Phil. Absolutely gorgeous and the finish you ended up with is just beautiful, my friend. Not real glossy, but I do like a nice satin finish. Brilliant video, buddy!
Take care,
….,Gord
Thank you so much, Gord! Have a great day, my friend! 😊
It’s called a propane torch Phil. Nice job on that super soft wood.
😊
In the nic of time - I was missing your videos
😊
Thank you John! A food torch/kitchen torch/ culinary torch/mini-flame torch all brought up the correct images on-line. You can also try either a restaurant supply/outlet or a smoke shop (casino?). I bought one at Walmart. They are also known as flambé torches for doing flaming desserts.
Thanks for the info, Valerie! I was on a European site when I searched. I knew if I found one they would send it to me for free! LOL! Oh, well, they are not expensive, I'll get one! 😊
We call it a blowtorch for a small one, flame thrower for a massive one. In Britain we have Laburnum wood. With a light sapwood that looks like oak grain lines in it. The central wood is a mahogany colour with the same oak type grain. A beautiful wood to work with.
Thanks, Nick! 😊
A torch is a flash light and thingy with flames coming out the end is a blow torch lol, nice bowl.
Thanks, Neil! 😊
Looks great 👍
I’ve turned a lot of red cedar, and it can be difficult. Like you said, it’s very soft and porous. Can’t do anything with that shredded paper like bark. The sapwood is too much like pine, and cracks so easily. Smells great, but the dust from cedar is a pain too. Sticks to everything like powdered sugar.
But all that said, the heartwood is very pretty…and in the end, it’s always worth it. I’ve found to get a good shine go from the sanding sealer to something like Acks. Once the wax is on there, it really pops. You lose the smell, except for the bottom after removing the tenon. I use walnut oil for that part. Blends in well, and saves the wonderful cedar smell in at least that part of the project.
Anyhow, wrote too much 😂
Thanks a lot, John! 😊
Phil
Really beautiful.
Also love aroma that Red Cedar gives off.
John
Thanks, John! 😊
It is great how you a teacher in wood turning. When I purchased my lathe I was hoping to take classes from someone close to where I live. Well, I never found a place to do that.
Again, thank you!!
Watching UA-cam videos is how I learned to turn, Robert. We use what we have. Thank you! 😊
Great looking banana boat Phil! The natural edge looks great and better than the bark would have looked in my opinion. The colors of Red Cedar are so nice and the contrast of the sapwood really shows it off. It sure did drink up the shellac. Wow at the cost of shellac today that bowl is very valuable LOL.
Another enjoyable video to watch my friend,
Gary
Haha, yeah, I better put this one in the safe! LOL! Thank you, my friend! 😊
It's so beautiful that I'm going BANANAS!! Good job Phil.
Haha, thanks, Jerry! 😊
So pretty! Love the red wood! That is something I would proudly display and probably use for my bananas LOL👍😁
Cool, thanks! 😊
Phill ,had my doubts early on ,but as always beautiful job ,.Enjoyed watching ,always do .Keep them coming. May God bless and keep you..
...
Glad you enjoyed it Garrett, thank you, Kindly! 😄
Very nice video to watch, Phil. The bowl is beautiful!
Thank you, Clayton! 😊
WOW!!! That’s just beautiful and I’m glad you let the bark go because cedar doesn’t have pretty bark to begin with (in my opinion) but you made the bowl as prettier as I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your projects. God bless you! Barbara
Thank you so much, Barbara! 😊
When I noticed the words "Banana Bowl" I thought you were going to try turning a bit of banana tree! Glad it turned out to be a beautiful piece of cedar. I have a propane flame thrower, and apparently they're also called propane burners. A torch is, of course, what Americans call a flashlight, or a long, burning piece of wood the peasants carry when they're storming the vampire's castle. I'm glad you didn't burn the wood. I always feel that burning is the quickest way to ruin the look of a piece of wood, be it art, furniture or tool handle.
Haha, yeah, I love the different vernaculars! I've seen Andy Phillip burn the edges of bowls, now and then and he does a great job. Just the right amount. Sand it and apply a clear finish, looks like black paint. 😊
Nice job Phil. the thing in English your looking for is called a "blow torch", you can get some with adjustable flames. HTH
Well turned! 🙂
Thanks, Bryan! 😊
Nice work! That is RED cedar for sure.
😊
Lovely banana bowl. As usual I love everything about it. Send some of your warm weather my way. Only 60 here.❤
Yeah, the good weather is gone, raining, now! Dang it! 😊
CRICKY Phill I know what it's like as an autistic person I am, how hard it is to understand the internet language,between USA,UK, I really am just learning the BLOODY AUSSIE LENGO. Anywho awesome video as usual, I love red cedar and I hate working it. All your turnings will be price one day. Cause your a LEGEND PHILL. Keep the dream alive son Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia
Thanks, Ernie, for you fun comment! 😊
Very pretty bowl Mr. Anderson! I've turned some bowls from Tennessee Red Cedar my friend brought me. Very pretty wood but dulled tools very quickly. Read that it has lots of "silica" in it that tends to dull your tools quicker. The dust can also be somewhat poisonous or toxic to some people, so keep your mask on...
Good tips, Cap, thanks! 😊
Love turning cedar. I have a lot of nice pieces to turn when I finish some production jobs. Love the smell! I usually make some sachets to give away. I think you made some for your wife years ago. Nice banana bowl! 😊
Thank you, Baydon! Yes I did! 😊
Really pretty heartwood on this piece, and I don't miss the fuzzy bark.
I'm with you, Vicki! 😊
Phil, I forgot to say how much I enjoyed the new camera angles too, made a nice change to see you at work. 👍😊
Thank you, Jude! 😊
I love red cedar, it's such a beautiful wood, Love your live edge bowls and the natural edge bowls very lovely work
Thank you! 😊
I love making banana bowls. This was fun, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Hi Phil,
Referencing the eastern red cedar bowl turning, you mentioned using a torch to burn the edge
with. Try searching
“ blow torch, gas torch, butane/ propane”. Your buddy, Bob - Ohio. Good job,
friend, Thanks.
Thanks, Bob! 😊
Thats looks beautiful.You cant beat Ceder.
😊
Wow Phil does that ever look pretty love the look of red cedar I like edge with out the bark good choice to take it off Blessings
Glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Very nice. I fully agree with your choice to shed the bark on this one. It was just too loose to worry with.
I think so too! 😊
We call them blow torches Phil 🔥
Got it, thanks! 😊
You might try a mini blowtorch. The easiest example I can think of is a chef using one on top of a crème brûlée. Fluid artists also use them to pop air bubbles on their paintings.
Yeah, I have a kitchen torch, I just thought it wouldn't be strong enough. I'll figure it out! 😊
Thats a great looking bowl and should hold banana just perffctly.
I just cut a big red cedar down and milled it into lumber. I do have some 4"-5" thick pieces to turn into bowls. Having the utmost sharpest cutting edges on tool will help the tear out on this soft wood. I like to spin stuff fast too that seems to help with the finish.
Can beat fresh cut cedar as it looks great. It will oxidize quickly and UV plays havoc with the color. Left untreated in will go from a deep red purple color to brownish quicky.
Thanks! No UV here at Shady Acres! 😊
Get a creme Broulee torch from a kitchen shop... perfect size for the job.
I actually have one of those Scott. I didn't think it would put out enough heat. 😊
What a beautiful bowl. Love the redwood. Hope indeed for you to get the 70 degrees.
Again an absolutely gorgeous bowl. Love it.
Thanks! We got the 70° but now it's cool and raining! 😊
Thank you John.
Nice job Phil!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hi Phil, lovely colour in that wood. I think we would call it a blow torch.
Thanks, Ian! 😊
Hi Phil,
Another lovely bowl - you're an inspiration to say the least !!
Us Brits like to say "blow-torch" !
Make of that what you will😮
Rothenberger is the make to get if you wish.
Apologies for the emoji 🙈
All the best
Howard
Thanks, Howard! 😊
We have lots of red cedar in eastern Kentucky. Most of the Appalachian uses are much more rustic. Very nice to see a more sophisticated artistic approach as you have here. The rustic pieces are great also, not to take anything away from the regional artists.
Yeah, I get it, looks great both ways! Versatility is a good thing! 😊
Hi Phil, we grow lots of bananas here in.Australia - apparently they are straight when then grow on the trees and the packers put the bends in them so that they stack better! Come out for a visit and I’ll show you.
I'm on my way, Bob! 😊
Beautiful color! 😊
Enjoy your warm weather on the way!
I did enjoy it, Maria but, now it's cool and rainy! Dang it! 😊
As always awesome piece Phil. Keep up the great work, and happy turning my friend. ☺️
Thank you kindly, Edward! 😊
Amazing contrast of colours, very well done Phil, we call them a Blow Torch, comes with a disposable gas can that screws on about the size of a spray paint can, very handy. Another great video thanks.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
Very beautiful piece. I watch so many of your videos that when I watch other and they started from the ‘wrong’ side, I want to shout at them-turn it around, you only having sapwood on the outside and inside! You really conditioned me😂. Thanks for lovely tuitional videos, you are a real star. Keep it up.
Good to know, thank you! 😊
Glad you let the bark go looks much better without it, love the way the natural contrasting colours compliment each other, the shape reminds me of weighing scales bowls they used to have in sweet shops. Good job Phil. 😁
Cool, thanks, Lewis! 😊
Maybe a culinary torch or acetylene torch. What a beautiful piece.
😊
I got a little Bernzomatic burner! Torch! Pretty little bowl ❤️
Yeah, I've got to find the little ones, I've got the big ones! 😊
Red cedar is my favorite wood! The bowl is exquisite! Gave me a warm smile on a stressful day! Thank you Phil!!
Thank you, PH! 😊
Another great piece with fantastic colours. Try searching for "blow torch"
That's what we call it in NW UK. 👍
Thanks for the tip! 😊
They call them dragon 's 🐉 lol great job!
LOL!
I think this red cedar is so pretty especially with a little bit of the yellow sapwood showing. I've done two bowls with red cedar, and I was just taking back by the beautiful color. The one you were doing now again has such beautiful color. I am learning the tenon w/ the extra " foot" like you are doing here. I really like the way that looks.
Cool, thank you, Lynda! 😊
I also love the indentations❣️
Cool, thanks! 😊
That’s a real beauty I think and the shape is perfect the same as the colour which is so vibrant for a piece of wood. Great work as always, Phil. 😊
Glad you like it, Martin, thank you! 😀
Oh, I’m a big fan of your work and always enjoy watching what you are creating next. I’m actually talking to you on my iPad while you’re doing it as if I’m there with you, LOL
@@martincotterill2132 That's the way I feel, Martin. Like we are all gathered around the lathe shooting the breeze. I'm glad you are here, too! 😀
I think it’s great that we can talk and communicate even though we are so far apart that makes a lot difference to me and brings the world together :-)
Nice result. I'm not surprised the sapwood had a grey color in it. I agree, the piece looks better without the bark.
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Very purdy bowl Phil! Luv the color in this one. Well done! Thx and take care.
Thank you! 😊
I love turning cedar. You did a great job of bringing out the color and contrast between the heart wood and sap wood. Great piece. I hope you kept the shavings and used them as a sachet in your underwear drawer! LOL
Thank you very much, Tom! 😊
Nice job Phil, I believe I may turn a banana bowl myself. Looks great.
😊
Hi Phil. Great project. What you are looking for is called a blow torch, a butane one is best. Catch you next time
Cool, thanks, Frank! 😊
Now that's some lovely colour, looks a grand shape and finish, we call it a blow torch or blow lamp, but there is a large pond between us so lingo is a lot different yeh. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you, Gary! 😊
I call it a blowtorch, nice bowl as expected
😊
Phil, very nice turning! Thanks for sharing!
😊
@tuffymartinez - it was certainly my pleasure. I have learned a lot from this kind gentleman. The least I could do was send him a pretty piece of red cedar. He did a far better job than I did! Cheers!
😊
Great color contrast on that one, well done.
Thanks, Doc! 😊
Another beautiful piece. The finish is fine.👍👍
😊
Great work Phil. Thanks for sharing with us 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it, Glenn, thank you! 😊
this is a gorgeous bowl. Love the red cedar
😊
Phil, google the word SOLDER-IT. It is a mini torch. Good luck finding one. In Canada I found this at Canadian Tire.
Thanks, Bob! 😊
I actually love the shape that this piece helped you produce Phil. I hated the stringy nature of the bark & was SO glad when you decided to remove what was left at the end. I really love the sapwood edging on this bowl, IT JUST FITS & LOOKS RIGHT. It took a lot of time but you did an outstanding job on the finish of this piece mate. Everything just seems to work SO well on this piece mate. Stay safe & well & keep warm as well. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Thank you very much, Don! I hope you are healing well! 😊
