Hi Radio face...thank you very much... the acrylic spray worked a treat... I don't usually like to use it as I prefer a natural finish but needed it on this one... take care...All the best.....Andy
It was very beautiful! I liked it! Good luck to you!
Hi Aleksey... thank you... I'm glad that you liked it... good luck to you too... take care...All the best.....Andy
Very nice work Andy, good to see others leave a mortice on the base as I do. Always good if I have to revisit the bowl .Who on earth would find it necessary to dislike....Ron Cumpsty
Hi Ron...
Thank you very much...
Great minds think alike... I much prefer a mortice if its possible...
I totally agree about the ability to re mount it on the lathe later...
They have taken the dislike number off now ... Haha
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Excellent. I’ve not tried using pallet scraps like this, will do now. Thanks Andy
Hi Adevwco...
Thank you...
It is very satisfying making something from scraps that cost nothing...
I hope that you will enjoy making yours...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Great looking project, cost is nice too..Blessings
Hi Greg...
I'm glad that you liked it... I love producing something nice from scraps and free timber... I can't justify buying bowl blanks at £15 - £20 for a medium sized bowl...
Blessings to you and yours...

It's amazing to me that someone from the South Pacific is watching my videos..
I'm glad that you are finding them interesting and giving you motivation...
My brother was disabled and my son is also disabled... this is a great hobby which is accessible to most people...

Fantastic bowl Andy. You must really take care of your pallets in Cornwall. The ones in Sussex are always abused with nail holes everywhere, poor quality timberthat rips easily, etc :-( Take care. Ray
Hi Ray... thank you... I'm glad that you liked it... you can look through a lot of pallets before finding a good one ... most are painted or rotting... and I only use the section between the nails ... circular saw them out to get less damage ...take care...All the best.....Andy
Excellent !! Thank Andy

Very nice bowl! You've given me some ideas.. I have a pile of pallet wood that has been sitting around for a few years and now I know what to do with some of it! So sorry to hear about your shop fire.. I hope you are able to rebuild soon! I look forward to the first rebuild video! Cheers!
Nice job!!!

Cornwall is a beautiful place to live... it is at it's best out of the tourist season when it is much quieter...
Where are you from ?

@@AndysCornishCreations Your welcome Andy. I’m in Vancouver British Columbia. Also a beautiful place!
Hi Andy,from New Zealand,it’s about to rain here but great coming across your channel while sitting in front of the fire.
A really nice bowl from what we usually burn in the fire.
Just subscribed and liking forward to more of your vids.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Mal... New Zealand looks like an amazing place to live... sorry that you have rain starting.. its been raining all day here... is it Autumn or winter there... ist the beginning of summer here and I lit a fire this afternoon...

Hi Jay... are you sure that it was the rain and not my voice wittering on that put you to sleep... Haha.. today we have rain and high winds.. ughhhh.. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video... take care...All the best.....Andy
Great looking bowl Andy
Ive made bowls out of a single bit of wood that dont look as good as that one

@@AndysCornishCreations I post most of my stuff on Instagram now Andy as I hate editing
Well done. Nice tight glue up. Laborious is a big word for a Cornwall guy isn't it? That fire looked mighty nice. Hope you are off lock down. Looking forward to the next one. Have a blessed day!
Hi Calvin... thank you very much... Haha.. I'm from Yorkshire and we know a few big words up there... I'm not in my workshop very often without the woodburner going... I love a good fire... we might be in lockdown till Easter.. how is it effecting you? ... have a great day... take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations No lockdown in West-Central Missouri. Just mask requirements & cold weather. Would Yorkshire be considered the Midlands?
Hi Andy, that is one fine looking pallet...now that you made a bowl out of it. The color combination is really nice. Nothing you would expect from a pallet.
Great job! We are getting a break from the rain....only because it is snow and ice at the moment.
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary... thank you very much... I was surprised by the different colours... I guess when making pallets they use whatever is available at the time... ughhh rain... glad that you are getting a rest from it...we have had some ice but no snow this year... looking forward to the spring... take care...All the best.....Andy
Beautiful bowl as always! Great project!
Happy Valentine's Day my friend!
Love the sound of the pitter patter of the rain on the roof.

Hi Andy I really enjoyed your video and the contrast of the scrap wood nice finish thanks for sharing 👍
Hi Phillip... I'm glad that you enjoyed the video... I was surprised at how many different colours there were... take care...All the best.....Andy
I really like projects where wood is reused. You have made a fantastic bowl of relatively worthless wood that would otherwise only give heat for about an hour in a woodstove.
Well done Andy 👍
Hi Frank... I totally agree.. I love to use off cuts and free timber... although wood in the burner is still nice... I'm glad that you liked it... take care...All the best.....Andy
Wow... you did a great job on that bowl. It's very beautiful and I like the light color as well. Great vlog and I truly enjoyed watching it. Your new subbie. Greetings and warm wishes my friend. 🍾🥂💥

Hi Andy, very nice bowl! Great use of pallet wood and a super shiny finish too! Take care 👍
Hi ... Pog... thank you very much... the pallet wood worked well... I don't usually use acrylic laquer but it was the best option with this one ... take care...All the best.....Andy
Andy,
It is amazing that you can turn such a great looking bowl from basically free scrap pieces.
thank you so much for sharing ! 👍👍
Hi Luie... I'm glad that you liked it... I agree totally with you... it's not always about expensive hardwoods ... I rely a lot on free timber from work ...take care...All the best.....Andy
Love that bowl Andy! Great job! It appears that you get as much rain there in Cornwall as we get wind here in Kansas!
Hi Dave... thank you.. I'm glad that you liked it... rain ... well if you get as much as we do then you have my sympathy.. Haha... take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations not lots of rain. But, we get more than enough wind to make up for it! Theyre puttin up wind turbines everywhere, so, at least theyre getting some purpose out of it!
@@daveb.misc.2589 ahhhh..something else in common... Cornwall is the UK home for wind turbines... they are everywhere
@@AndysCornishCreations big controversy around here about the turbines. I dont own land that theyre on, so, i guess i shouldnt have an opinion. But, they are providing some electricity. And i think they look cool. Theres no trees around here anyway, so they kind of add some scenery! (Kansas is flat and boring!)
That looks great, even better when you consider the material cost!
Hi Dave... thank you very much.. Haha.. I do love free stuff !! ... take care...All the best.....Andy
I really like the yellow and green stripes in the center of the bowl. The wood might be common but the various grains and colors are great making a great bowl.
Hi Judith...thank you... I'm glad that you liked it... the yellow and green surprised me as the pieces didn't look those colours before I started working on them... it is satisfying to make something out of scrap wood... take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice bowl Andy. The best wood you can get is free wood 😂
Hi Miss Tee... I totally agree with you... what's not to like about free stuff... I'm glad that you liked it... take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice work Andy Beautiful bowl and Very nice finish on it also! 👍 Hopefully you will get some sunshine coming your way, we’ve had a lot of rain here lately to for few days straight it’s pretty soggy over here, Enjoyed the video 🤝

surprising what you can do with scrap
Hi Roy...
I do enjoy making these scrap projects...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Lovely Job as always Andy 😁. The last couple of rubbish bits of wood I have turned have had a strange reaction to the wax I used ?? I like the lacquer Finnish so will try that next time. Thanks for the video 😁👍
Hi Frank... thank you... I couldn't get a good finish with my usual wax ... the end grain was too absorbent even with sanding sealer... the laquer worked well but it took a long time for the smell to go ... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hey Andy! Where can I get a pallet like this? Having worked in international trade and logistics all my life, I think that I will never look at a pallet the same way again, no matter how rotten it may be 🤪 This bowl is simply gorgeous with the different colours and grains of wood, and the shape is really lovely too! You could keep fruit or wool or all sorts of bits and pieces in it. Of course, it is not oak or yew, but hey would you believe this is made of scrap wood? Fantastic! Just like the weather 😂 I remember I once took my sister on a holiday to Cornwall. We crossed Bodmin Moor on a day like this, it was absolute gloom and doom 😂 My sister nearly went into depression... “Why you like it so much here is a riddle to me!” Next day bright sunshine and blue skies, and my sister “oh, this is absolute paradise!” It sure is! Oh yes, the 👍🏻, nearly forgot 😬 Byeeee!
Hi Jude... there was also some scraps left over from other projects but its surprising how nice pallet wood can look... I was thinking about doing another soon with the pieces cut so as to be less wasteful with the timber.... when doing a bowl there is always a lot more wood on the floor than in the finished bowl... the edge of the Moor is only about 2 miles from our house and it can get a bit bleak up there... but as you say when the sun shines it is beautiful... thank you for the 👍... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy, As others have already said, great looking bowl with all the colours and grain. I have a pallet in the garden and when I can get it apart and dried I want to do something similar.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Hi Huw... thank you,.. I'm glad that you liked it... pallet wood can be a bit hit and miss... but when it's free then what's not to like... Haha .. take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Great bowl Andy, the colours are great as is the shape. Shame that you had so much tearout though, you got rid of hes[d while sanding though. Does it ever not rain in Cornwall ???
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍
Hi Bluey... I'm glad that you liked it...the tearout was a problem... one of the drawbacks of using softwood... it's why I had to resort to using acrylic laquer... rain.. Haha.. I've just been filming this afternoon and the rain was pounding on the roof... so the answer is noooooooo. Haha... take care...All the best.....Andy
No need to buy certain items when you can build it yourself and have the quality you want.
Hi Salty...
Thank you very much...
There is something very satisfying about making something nice from scrap at little cost...

Great Vid Andy as I have come to expect from you and the bowl looks super cool amazing what you can make from wood heading for the fire isn't it
Hi Steven... super cool amazing... Haha.. I like that... I'm glad that you liked it and enjoyed the video... I agree.. it's nice to make something from scraps... take care...All the best.....Andy
Super Job Andy, love the finish. I would like to make a larger serving platter this way. So for your finishing then, you sanded all the way to 400 grit, applied sanding sealer, cleaned off with denatured alcohol, and you went for a wax finish, but since the wood absorbed it, went with an acrylic lacquer finish? Just wanting to see if I have the sequence correct (am going to doing a glue up for my platter tonight. :)) Thanks and take care. Loved the introductory footage of the coastline!!!!
Hi Jay...
Thank you very much...
Get the glue up nice and tight...
After turning... sand from 80 grit to 240..
Check to see if you have any areas that haven't sanded very well... usually on the end grain...
If it's not great apply sanding sealer now to harden the fibres... 2 coats .. let dry .. then sand again with 240 until its smooth then up to 400 .. apply sealer again .. lightly sand to de- nib the sealer...
Or if its sanded well then go straight to 400 ..apply sanding sealer.. de- nib with 400 grit or scotch bright pad..
Clean with denatured alcohol...
Apply acrylic laquer spray... lightly... more coats are better than applying thick and it running...
Lightly sand then apply the last coat...
Apply abrasive paste to smooth and polish...
Then a wax finish... any is ok..
Definitely from now on I will be using acrylic laquer on this type of project...
I hope that you have great success with your platter...
I'm glad that you enjoyed the coastline footage...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great looking bowl Andy. Love the homemade cutter. What did you use for the handle? Big thumbs up from Ontario Canada. Subbed to the channel
Hi Chris...
Thank you very much...
I used 12.5mm silver steel round rod ... Ash 50mm x 450mm for the handle . A piece of copper pipe for the ferrule and I got a set of 3 Carbide cutters from Ebay ...
Great to hear from Ontario Canada... beautiful place to live...
Thank you very much for your subscription...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Muito linda a peça, parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👽👽👽👽👽
Hi Lino... muito obrigado ... cuidar... tudo de bom... Andy
AWESOME creativity, love the video,very instructive, but question, why TiteBond I I I, as opposed to resin, gr8 video, and easily subscribed to your channel
Hi Clay...
Thank you for your kind words...
I always use wood glue ... not always Titebond 3 ... but any good quality wood glue... preferably the 10 minute stuff... it goes off in 10 mins but doesn't fully cure till 24 hrs later...
I have never used resin to stick wood together... I imagine that it would be very messy and much more expensive...
Thank you for your subscription and I hope that you enjoy my eclectic mix of videos...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy I'm new to wood turning and was wondering what's the best wood to use to learn to make a bowl with. Love this bowl the different colours look beautiful. Will be watching more of your videos and I have just subscribed.
Hi Craig... thank you for your comment and your subscription... welcome to a great hobby... my advice would be...
Don't go out and buy expensive bowl blanks until you have a bit more experience...
Start small.. you can make a bowl from a block of wood that's only 4 x 4 x 2 inches... but 6 x 6 x 3 inches is ideal...
If you have a joinery shop near you .. ask them for offcuts of Oak, sapele, Iroko, Ash, ... basically anything that they have would be good...
Don't be put off by using construction lumber...pine etc .. it is still good practice and can look beautiful... avoid treated timber
Get a chuck as soon as you can afford it... it's a game changer with bowls..
And you can glue offcuts together... but you need to be able to get them flat and smooth for a good glue up
I hope this helps and that you enjoy the hobby
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Really like that thanks for posting Andy. Your homemade tools are interesting what tips are you using and what steel have you mounted them onto? Perhaps you hold do an instructional.
Hi Paul...I'm glad that you liked it... I'll check out what I used and get back to you... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Paul... the tips are from Ebay... type in...3pcs tungsten carbide cutters inserts set ... £5.95 from China... the rod is also Ebay... type in...12.5mm metric silver steel ground round stock ... it comes up as £6.94 per unit... I got the 12.5mm Rod 333mm long ... from.. J.D. engineering supplies... I still have the square cutter to make so I may film that.. but have to find the time...hope this helps... take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Andy thanks for that I am quite new to this woodturning thing. I am a toolmaker by trade so am quite familiar with silver steel. I think I am going to just buy some tips and see what happens.
Well as a tool maker you will make a better job than me ... enjoy your new hobby...
I've never seen anyone use metho before, what was the exact reason for its use?
Hi John...
Methylated spirits is used to clean the surface of the wood before applying any finishes... it gets rid of dust and any grease...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
Great to hear!
I don’t see the reasoning of putting glue on both sides of a joint, just as waste of glue in my book. Try it both ways and see if it makes a difference, it won’t. That’s why you spread the glue.
Hi Robert...
I can see where you are coming from on this...
I must admit that I thought the same but I have had a couple of glue ups that didn't work so well and with glueing both sides I have never had a problem...
I don't go crazy with the amount of glue and I don't get too much squeeze out...
But that's just me and if it works for you then that's great... half the glue spreading...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
