Wow! Such a treat to find another old video that I haven't seen yet. It's interesting to see how your work and technique has progressed over the years. Great job as always.
Thank you, Mike! I'm not sure it's a matter of seeing as much as it's a matter of not wanting any wood go to waste. Besides, I kinda like surprises! LOL! Phil
Really pretty piece of spalted Sycamore, Phil. You did a great job with it I kept expecting pieces to be flying off, but I'm glad it stayed together! Billy
you should have been a wood shop teacher. You inspire me to do some turning like the logs you do I like the designs you come up with. Thanks keep up the good work. Tom
Hello from 🇨🇦. So Phil yet another very nice piece. Super thin and nice shape. Appreciate your time and effort in making these informative videos for us out in UA-cam land 👍
Thank You Phil...a very stylish piece and I feel you made the most from such a small piece of wood....Very nice work Phil..Always look forward to your next show...tm
Phil, is there any possibility of some sort of secure P.O. box your viewers could send stuff (like unique chunks of wood...or walking sticks..ha) and still be very respectful of your privacy ?...Love your channel and hope the best in the coming years....tm
Good Morning Phil. Thats a neat project, with very complimentary finish. Seems like any gloss might not fit it as well as this one does as it is a rugged looking piece. Their is a young man in your neck of the woods that puts out some fantastic videos his name is Alan Olson on you tube. You made a real Gem this morning, keep up the interesting commentary and turnings. Spring is coming soon!
Mornin', Don! I'm glad you like this one. You may be right on the finish, it is kind of a rustic piece. I'll have to look up Alan. I know there are lots of turners in the area but I don't know any of them and didn't know he has a channel. Phil
When you produced that block of wood, I couldn’t believe you said you were going to make a bowl. Just shows never judge a book by its cover. Great vision yet again. Turned out beautiful. Oh you had me crying when you said you get that bottle of feed and wax for 8 dollars. I just bought my first bottle after watching you use it. It was over three times the price. The cheapest I could get over here. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Colin! So sorry the feed and wax is so expensive in your neck of the woods. At least it does seem to last a good long time, for what that's worth. Phil
Mr. Phil that turn out absolutely amazing beautiful wood grain you just like a surgeon, very professional it’s always a pleasure watching your videos. I’m trying to practice before I start recording my videos but it will not be that long. I watch a lot of great wood turners and I’m learning a lot, just like when your cutting the nob off I have been practicing, an$ I’m doing pretty good. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship god bless from the🇺🇸🇺🇸 🐊🐊Cajun 🐊🐊🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you very much, Cajun! I can't wait until you start showing some of your work. We can always use another turning channel. I'm glad the tenon removal technique is working out for you. Phil
Nice job Phil, I have to admit I was having doubts whether there was going to be enough material to turn a bowl at one point, but you got her done. Sometimes we have to take what we can get I guess & be grateful it didn’t end up in the fire pit. As always, many thanks for sharing & look forward to seeing you next time. Cheers, Geof (UK).
Thank you so much, Geof! I consider it my mission to keep all wood out of the fire pit. LOL! Sometimes maybe it belongs in there, but I'm always gonna try! Phil
Thank you very much, Andy! Stick with what you know. I'd hate to see one of your beautiful pieces, with all the time you spend preparing them, go flying. Hey, it happens! LOL! Phil
I think it came out looking swell. I use Howard's Feed 'N Wax, too and also use it to wet sand at my higher grits. After letting it dry a bit, it takes a great shine with my buffing system. I love that stuff.
Thank you, David! I have just got to try wet sanding with it. It just never occurs to me. Stuck in my ways, I guess. Glad to hear it's working out for you! Phil
Turned out with a great shape. Way different than what I saw before you started turning. I really like the area where you can see through it. When you put the Howard on the bottom if I had not seen what you used I would have guessed lacquer when I first saw it. I would say that it sanded up very nicely. Another great job Phil keep it up. But that goes without saying. Gary
Thank you, Gary! I just didn't know what to expect from this one but I try not to let that stop me. I'm beginning to believe EVERY piece of wood can be something! Phil
Yet another beautiful piece. Maybe someday I'll have the nerve to attempt to turn some of the impossible things that you turn. Last time I had a piece of oak with weaknesses it exploded even after I CA'd it.
Ah, what a wonderful thought, Dianna! That never occurred to me, but yes, it does look a lot like a fall leaf. That's what I'll call it, thank you! Phil
Hi Phil, From a very odd shaped hunk of wood into a beautiful bowl,,,a beautiful very thin bowl!!! I get pretty nervous when I try to turn thin after spending so much time on a piece and just waiting for me to make a bad move! You did great on this piece,,in a 38 degree shop! LOL I had another session with Al Furtado that ended up with me going through the bottom of a droop over bowl,,,after spending the whole day getting that far!Pretty disappointing! Thanks for the video,,, Tom
It makes me nervous too, Tom. Just the slightest mis-step and the piece is ruined. Sometimes ya just get lucky! I'm looking forward to the videos Al posted of your visit. Just haven't had time to sit down for an hour and a half to check them out, but I will! But, now you've gone and spoiled the ending for me! LOL! Or, maybe you fixed it or turned another? Shhh... don't tell me, I'll just watch like everyone else! Sorry for your mishap but every turning is an opportunity to learn and who can't use that? Thanks for watching and commenting, Tom, I sure appreciate it! Phil
Thank you, William! I used to date my pieces until I read a comment from someone that sells their pieces. They said the ones with older dates don't sell because people think there must be something wrong with them. I haven't sold any of my stuff but just in case I do, I stopped adding the date. But, I agree, it's a good reference. Phil
boy phil you could hear the disappointment in your voice at how this bowl turned out but i think it looks great . i know kinda must have seen it a different way in your head cause i always do on a project . they never seem to ever turn out just like you envision them do they . well sometimes lol . head up my friend it turned out to be what it wanted to be this one wanted to be thin skinned lol . sometimes the wood chooses for us . great job .
Howdy Phil happy you found another piece of Sycamore. I wish I had some to send you . looks like you're going to have to go to California and get some , take your RV . like I said before is such a beautiful grain wood . wow that is thin... I have heard of guys lamp shades very thin they hold it on mold and use a vacuum . Maybe you should have saved all the chips from the other pieces of Sycamore glued all together and make another Bowl LOL 38 degrees...... You got to get someone to hook up that gas heater you have!.... Stay warm I noticed you had the Ryobi 4AH batteries does your Home Depot have a 6 and 9 AH ?
Hi Bruce! Yup, love the Sycamore! California here I come! I wish!! Glue up all the chips and make another bowl? Love that idea! LOL! My HD did have the 6 and 9AH but I haven't been in in awhile so not sure if they still do. If you like Ryobi, look up Ryobi Tools User Group on Facebook. All Ryobi, all the time! Thanks for another great comment, Bruce, I surely appreciate them! Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Yes , I like Ryobi a lot I have been buying them for a long time I have 35 battery operated tools ! When I get another battery I am going to get the 9 AH ..price will come down soon or there will be a great deal on a combination . take care and stay warm out there
Phil, I'm no expert but do enjoy making bowls. On a video I saw one time the author said cross grain, cut a recess. End grain cut a tenon. I could hear your disappointment in the size. Recess might have been a little larger. Other will probably comment I hope to let you know if I'm correct. Keep turning, I know I am.
Thank you, Kevin! I guess I just prefer tenons which will work with either grain pattern. Sometimes on plates or platters I will use a recess. I will keep turning and good to know you will, as well! Hard to beat it! Phil
As cautious as you usually are, aren't you worried that the bowl will spin off the woodworm screw when you turn it in reverse for sanding? There's nothing holding it on the screw except the contact friction between the top of the bowl and the jaws of the chuck, and starting up the lathe could be enough to break that contact.
I'm aware of the possibility of that, David. In the two years I have had this lathe, it has never become loose. This lathe has a soft-start feature. It spins up slowly so there is no danger of breaking contact. Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Ah, the joys of digital speed control. Wish I had spent the extra for that on my Nova lathe. Very nice bowl despite the awkward shape of the blank.
I love this bowl Phil! Great video. What pen do you use to sign your bowls? I know you've mentioned this in one of your videos before, but I can't find it again! I am now using your technique of re-introducing a centre point ready for turning the spigot off - that saves a lot of trial and error (mainly error for me!)
Thank you, Chris, I really appreciate your comment! I use an Ultra Fine Point Sharpie to sign. Yes, if you don't have that center point it can be a real pain to get lined up again. Glad it's working out for you! Phil
Wow! Such a treat to find another old video that I haven't seen yet. It's interesting to see how your work and technique has progressed over the years. Great job as always.

I like that it's thin but more importantly it's a nice looking bowl.
Thank you, William! 😊
Wow! Just got some white and gray 3m pads. Made the bowl i am doing so smooth that I'm not going to put another coat of varnish on. Thanks again.
Sounds like a great finish! Glad you found something that works for you. 😀
Lovely to see some vintage P.A. content - hope you're staying well there Phil - really enjoyed this video, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
So very nice, Great looking bowl. Beautiful!!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much, Jack!

Feel you did an awesome job on that it’s very thin very elegant looking. Bob
