    I’ve been turning bowls about 4 years. I watch to learn style, techniques and artistic interpretation. I struggle with how to shape bowls so I watch a lot of you tube to get ideas.

    Peggy, little do you know that what you do is just like life. It is the imperfections of life that make people beautiful. Just like you make a broken slab of Maple beautiful.

    Want to thank you for this very interesting and informative video. I rather enjoy tackling wood with cracks or other flaws, and the challenge to me is number 1 safety and secondary produce a one of a kind creation. It’s Tornado season here in Oklahoma, so there is no need to purchase wood. Thanks again.

    Since you asked, I'm a newbie to this - started turning in January and I like watching videos like this to learn and to get ideas of things to try. I have started experimenting with resin and of course the first few tries taught me a couple of lessons but I'm getting better at it. Thanks for sharing your skills! I hope you can ignore the people who get their jollies by criticizing others. I see that on other forums a lot and I think it's just the human condition. Some people are just like that. Looking forward to your next videos.

    Great video and beautiful bowl! I started to watch wood turning as it was somehow so soothing on my overthinking brain. Eventually with time and opportunity I bought a school bus and have converted it into a lil wood workshop. I am still very much a newbie and watch to learn and for inspiration. I will say, something about your style (what you cut, when, where, how) is particularly pleasing on the brain! Perhaps the sped up footage helps. Makes the wood look to just fall away effortlessly! If only real-time was that easy hey? haha Now that I've done some turning myself I have new appreciation to just how much thought, skill, tools, experience etc.. goes into turning!

    I love watching all kinds of turning videos just for fun and to relax my mind. I would actually want to start wood turning now that I recently retired. But I live in an apartment and have absolutely no facilities or knowledge of how to start. I will continue watching it on UA-cam instead.
    And I am so happy to finally have found a female wood turner! Wow! I thought I was the only female interested in this 😸

    Thanks for doing these videos, it's a lot of work. I'm dealing with a lot of cracked pieces, nice wood but cracks... but mine are smaller so I'm not inclined to try the epoxy since there are numerous and small. Just trying the CA glue and saw dust. Had not tried any of this previously but I guess it's a possible solution. Very nice work, and you certainly are not a novice. Don't even listen to the internet idiots.

    Added comment… I LOVE watching what tools and finish techniques others use. Your video did it. I am buying the Robust curved tool rest. I turn sitting in a wheelchair and use the Laguna 1216. I am not very strong so the 1216 with the end off board is perfect for me. I will give the AXE finishes a try. Your choice of color epoxy…. SPOT ON! Thank You.

  • @nancydenmark1614

    I watch the videos for the pleasure of seeing something beautiful and useful come out of a block of wood. I’ve always been interested in wood turning but never had the equipment or time. Now that I’m retired I don’t have the ability to stand for any length of time. So watch you make these pretty bowls and such is satisfying in its own right. Just like this project, I’m never disappointed.

    I enjoy watching other turners and pick up hints and tricks when I can. The last part of the video had me confused because I've never seen a Laguna Revo set up with the controls on the right side. When you showed the Acks and it was reversed, that explains the turned around lathe. Good job on the bowel.

  • @robertopasquini9776

    Dear Peggy, I totally share your opinion about cracks; actually, I spend the must of the time repairing them because I turn 99% of the time end-grain piece of wood, and they have a lot of cracks. Some time cracks they can play a role on the finished piece, like an extra detail of interest: ....Well, this is only my opinion of course!
    Thank you Peggy: Sorry for the familiarity, ...I don't know why but I consider you like a friend; I born Italian and you are so spontaneous that remind me Italy. Take care.

    Beautiful bowl. My wife and I like to watch your turning videos at lunch. It is relaxing, interesting and we learn some things. Neither of us is a wood turner. We are retired, but she does a lot of music for the church and I do some woodworking, maintenance, fishing, hiking and volunteering at the local YMCA.Your videos are great and you should ignore those who think otherwise. We live pretty far away from you. Haha. We are in Central Texas. Keep the videos coming. We are staying inside during this heat wave and need to be entertained so we do not get into trrouble. Haha.

    I started watching turning videos 4 years ago when i found it cured my insomnia. I got obsessed and have just bought my 1st lathe.
    This vid is a year old so you may have figured it out since, but i found UV resin is much easier for cracks. It's almost immediate so you can have the crack filled in minutes instead of hours.
    Nice bowl. I'm still struggling to be honest. A 6x8ft shed and cheap chinese tools, but I'll get there in the end.
