Just noticed I commented on this one TWO YEARS ago! Forgive me for putting a new comment in, but it does prove that there are always new things to see whenever you revisit a video of yours. I find they are so dense with information that you can't take it all in at first! (That's my excuse for forgetting, and I'm sticking to it!)
This vintage video is still as amazing as when you first turned the bowl and plate. It was so good that i had to watch it for the third time, and I am still amazed at your talent. Some day when I grow up I am going to attempt to turn one like it.🙌 KEEP ON TURNING
I am going to try this -- looks great -- it is odd watching your old videos --you have always been good at your craft but time has definitely increased your confidants -- I am glad it has made you a good teacher --
Bonsoir Phil ! C'est une magnifique réalisation, que d'émotions en regardant cette vidéo avec des débuts de "plantage" qui font peur ... Nous étions tenus en haleine jusqu'au bout ! Cette réalisation donne envie de mettre des fruits dans le bol et ensuite les noyaux dans l'assiette. C'est une oeuvre qui donne des idées ! Congratulation Phil ! Prenez soin de vous ! Cordialement, Jean-Luc
Howdy Phill, Watched the plate with bowl again for the 6th time. I'm searching for a piece so that I can give it a try. I felt your stress the whole time Love it Phill Darrell Pizzagoni Barber in Redding
I can't stop watching your videos. I do like live edge but you've begun to open my mind and eyes to what you create. I love the junk wood pieces too. You've only got a year on me and now I want to set up a woodwork shop. I started looking at lathes too.
Hi Phil only recently discovered yr chanel I'm not a turner I'm a carpenter joiner yr work makes me want to have a try I love yr work I find it so relaxing to watch
I know I'm late to this party, Phil, but I'm gradually working through your back catalogue! (I should be up-to-date by about 2025!!) I'm not commenting on all of 'em, but I love this one! The work you put into it is incredible, and it looked as if it was fighting you every step of the way! It certainly came out good in the end though, and was worth the effort! While you keep 'em coming, I'll keep on watching 'em!
You did great! This bowl is awesome. You do such wonderful work.All I know you from is these videos but I'm so proud of you and what you can do,I have to show my family when you do something amazing from an impossible chunk of wood.
Very nice Phil... it's very interesting to see how your technique has changed a little over the years... I love watching you create your art ! Your very talented and have a great imagination...
Phil, if you have one, I would have used a carbide 35 degree diamond cutter to get into the bottom of the bowl to make an undercut, then as you withdraw, do a bit of a scrap on the bowl bottom to round off the edge. The carbide inserts that I use are not flat, they are designed for cutting aluminum so they have a very positive and very sharp chip breaker. With that style they actually cut the wood as opposed to scraping it like most flat carbide inserts. The insert is typically labelled as a VCGT-160404-AK. The last 2 numbers dictate the tip radius, in this case .04mm which is very pointed. I think these should be a direct change out for the Easy Wood diamond inserts. Amazon has lots of inserts like this but shop around as you shouldn't have to pay more than about $35 or so for a pack of 10.
I have different tools now that make this job easier, Peter but, still not easy. The bar has to be thick enough to not vibrate at the long extension but if it is, the cutter is too big. I have the 3/8" bar detailer and the 1/2" bar detailer. One vibrates, the other is too big. But, I can get it done just as I did here, just not quite to my satisfaction.
If you want something that looks more fancy, then a finished edge on the bowl would be better. But because of the spalting and worm holes, I don’t think that style would be appropriate for this wood. I love the way it turned out, the grain, spalting and worm holes give it a lot of character and natural beauty imo. I might put different types of pine cones or dried flowers in the bowl and use it as a centerpiece on the dining room table. Obviously I’m not a fancy pat all! 💕👌👍😊💕
Oh Phil it's absolutely elegant. I see almost smell the fresh, hot muffins coming out of the and into the bowl. Lined with a simple tea towel to wrap over them so the look of the bowl is a vision to behold. Nothing simple about this piece, your heart and passion for wood turning is evident. Stunning.
When you said you looked at the plates you use, the scene played out in my head something like this: You and your wife eating dinner and she notices you are intently looking at your plate. She says "Honey what are you doing." You reply curtly, "research". Great bowl! I love your work. It is very inspirational.
Phil, just remember Anchor, Bevel, Cut. - ABC. Your gouge is more controllable with Bevel support. Plus a solid bite on the tennon in a chuck will help, so reverse it SOONER! Stay safe
Thank you very much, Michael! I keep forgetting, I want to do another one of these. I now have a small tool that I think will allow me to get in between the bowl and the plate, better.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopI’m having a great time watching many of your older videos and reading the comments including this one. Did you ever turn another one like this? If so, I would love to see that one too! 👌👍💕
I don’t think I can just jam it in there, then does exactly that! And it’s working even though you don’t feel comfortable. Seems like there might be a parable in there somewhere. 😉
@@BobbieJeanM No I haven't, BobbieJean. I've run into the same issue on a couple pieces, one was a vase, but I haven't set out to duplicate this one. I should, I think it's kinda cool. 😊
Really nice bowl! You worked so hard and the end result is so cool. I like hearing your thinking out loud to working out the hiccups as they appear on a piece. I'm glad you don't give up when the going gets tough. You are a true craftsman, Phil.
This was a lot like the bowl and plate that I just did. I had some of the same cutting problem. Mine was a block of oak pallet slats & a sanding nightmare. I wanted to turn a square bowl. Ended up being a square 7 in. plate with round bowl. 3 in. high. Great job on yours. I makes me feel better when I know I'm not the only one that has to brainstorm a turning.
Agree with your comment full bowl not natural edge would have looked better, I have a feeling you won't rush to do another, unless there is a tool to get into tight places you could get hold of, the plate part looks good so well done for struggling through.
I wonder if a small negative-rake carbide detailer would've made that transition point between the bottom of the bowl and the plate a little bit easier. Might be worth a try sometime, Phil. Still, this project turned out nicely.
Well that does it! I'll never become an accomplished wood turner. I don't drink coffee. I think I had my last cup about 40 years ago. Would A&W root beer work in there? No, I guess not. To define the line between plate and bowl, why wouldn't the skew have done a good job, leaving a very fine sharp line between the two? Perspiring minds want to know. Keep turning.
Believe me, when I make a cut like this needed to be, I think of every possible tool I could use. I imagine the cut as it's happening. There is no way I would stick a skew chisel in that juncture. This had everything to do with the reach over the tool rest. But, I now have a couple tools that would likely make this an easy job, should I ever try another one. 😊
Great job Phil! I was calling out “thin parting tool” but you couldn’t hear me with all the noise going on. It’s what I use to undercut mushroom caps and then I pick up a detail spindle gouge to get a crisp edge :)
Hahaha! I did hear you, Tim, during a break. But when I got back to it, I forgot! Old age, ya know. Next time I'll remember. Thank you so much for your humorous comment, much appreciated!
It did turn out pretty good, Billy. I may make another when I get a different chisel to get in a little closer. Thank you, Billy, for watching and commenting!
Phil, as always loved your work and its a great piece. Ive watched several of your creations ,and honestly wish you used the sand and sealer with the gloss finish and not the wax ,Just makes the piece look so much better to me .But your the artist .The work is always great
I like your design, a bowl on a plate. Those catches had me holding my breath. This goes on my to do list. Believe I'll do a regular edge bowl at your suggestion. Great video.
I hope you do one, Ray. When I turned this, there were none on RU-vid that I could find, at least called by this name. I'd like to do another one. I bought a couple of tools that I think will get into that transition a little easier. Good luck and thank you for watching!
That's a cool project, I have a carbide finish tip that would work great between the plate and bowl . Eventually I will try this one too. Thanks for the video Phil ! You're my mentor.
It's kind of a tough turn, but with perseverance, I know you can get the job done, Garth! I will probably do another, one day, I have a better chisel now to get into that corner. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! Phil
That’s a neat project Phil, gave you a bit of a work out but you got there. No criticism from me, we all have our own way of turning & as long as safety comes first, better to get to the end in one piece. The old saying, ask ten turners how to do something & you’ll get eleven answers. Regards from the UK Geof
Lovely new addition to your repertoire and something I have never seen before. Your patience in trying to get that separation between bowl and plate had me sweating for a while. Could you have maybe tried your skew chisel or the double bladed one you use to cut both tenon and mortise angles? How you managed to edge your tools in without that nasty snatch Eeeeek!!, defies me. You are a true master.
Thank you, Alan! I'm not competent enough with the skew. Just the thought of it scares me to death! LOL! The diamond point tool is very light weight and likely would have bent under the pressure extended that far over the tool rest. I just did the best I could with what was available to me. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Duh color me silly. The diamond point tool would have been my first choice, now looking back over I see what you mean about the large gap you were covering. Thank you so much for taking the time to point out my errors, I really do appreciate the effort you go to educating limeys like me lol. Bless you Phil.
Thanks, Joe! You could actually turn something like this on a mini. It's less than 10" diameter. But, yeah, I hear ya. More POWER! LOL! Thank you again for watching and commenting, so appreciated!
Well you got there in the end. Found myself shouting"just because it's a bowl does not mean use have to use a chisel that says bowl". I think I would have tried a skew or something pointed to get into the separation of plate and bowl. Whenever I reach one of those points where I get frustrated with the situation it gives me the opportunity to go outside the box and try to do it differently.
Truly a case of you had to be there, Mark. I could not find a tool that offered the angle I wanted. However, I do have one now and may turn another one of these. But, like you say, I got there in the end. Thank you for your comment! Phil
Another amazing piece Phil. I knew you would figure it out and finish it. Can't wait for my bigger lathe. My first attempt is going to be your chip and dip bowl.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Phil when you say you'll have to sand this and I'll be back in 2 hours do you mean it takes that time to sqnd it ,,, I'm a year into woodturning and I'm fascinated with your approach to the whole thing
@@harrolin Yes, Ciaran, I often spend a couple hours sanding. It just depends on the complexity of a piece. I recently spent five hours sanding and preparing a piece for finish. What I learned early on is, if a piece looks beautiful, people want to pick it up and touch it. If it doesn't feel as good as it looks, all of a sudden it doesn't look so good anymore. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop That makes sence Phil , and probelly makes more sence to me because when i think im finished and apply the sand an sealer then it drys then i reslise im going to have to get a bowl gough to it again to get the sand an sealer off and start sanding again ( one step forward and two back ) love your videos and approch please keep them comin phil
Thank You Phil ..."I'm not a fan of carbide"...gosh... ( as a machinist I would be lost without it )...I like the old idea brought back...yea...I also like this warmer weather, I do not cringe so much with your short sleeves..ha..Please work safe I look forward to your next adventure....beautiful job, thanks.....tm
Mr. Marginez ...I too a machinist since 1973 , use high speed cobalt with special handles I made , to turn wood . I too would be lost . Nice to read that a machinist wood turns. Keep it up Mr. M . safety first
Interesting Bruce...I started my job in 1974..so you beat me...I am totally manual & love it !!!...I am amazed today to watch folks calculate the life of a drill bit than throw away before it breaks...Nobody can offhand grind small drills...So much is gained with technology BUT so much is lost...I enjoy Phil with his hands on determination...Here I sit ...now out to my shop...thanks Bruce...tm
Ha! Well, carbide certainly has it's place, I'm just not so sure it's at the end of a lathe chisel. Still, it does what I need it to do, just not with finesse. Thank you, Tuffy, for continuing to watch and comment!
Definitely not one of your easier projects! I'm stalled on a small bowl, turned off centre, upon a larger bowl. Very unbalanced and tricky, but it is getting there. I'm stalled because we're in hard Lockdown (so I cannot get to a lathe), but also because I need a particular size and shape of wood scrap, so I can finish turning the smaller bowl. I'll send you a picture when it's done. Your woody adventures have inspired me to try "different" projects! Thanks!
Howdy, Phil! I think this is my favourite up to now. It's surprising how much I got drawn into the video. I found myself almost mesmerized to the point where each time your gouge slipped as you were going further into the undercut I was flinching and ducking out of the way in case the plate broke off or shattered and came flying out of the screen at me!! I guess that tells you how much I was "into" the process! Thank you Phil! It almost felt like I was there with you!
Wow, what a wonderful comment, Phil! It's good to know that when watching my videos my viewers can get their exercise at the same time! LOL! I wish you could have been here with me, that would be great! Phil
I realize this vid is almost three years old, but I would suggest getting a cheap electric coffee grinder for the shop. Then grind a few of the wood shavings to fill cracks instead of coffee grounds.
I like that idea, Papa. I typically don't fill cracks but when I do I've found coffee grounds to make a nice contrast but I really like the idea of keeping it all natural with ground wood from the piece. I think I might even have a coffee grinder around here. Thank you!
Well you pulled another one out of the hat....or should I say plate. Nice job and I think the shape is just right. I did a goblet growing out of a plate and both had natural edges but it looks like child's play compared to what you came up with. Thanks for more ideas to try. Gary
madronawoodworks Not yet Phil we are still camping. About a 100 family members here for the big potluck meal. We had a mini family golf tournament yesterday. Also had some crawfish from the Nehalem river which we are camped right on the banks of. Heading home tomorrow but it will take some work to get things back on place after the lathe swap. Thanks Gary
Brilliant Phil, a great project. I would really like to see you do another one! I wonder if a narrow Parting Tool might have helped for the problem at the base of the bowl. Thanks Graham
You seem to understand exactly my thoughts on separation, Cynthia. Thank you! I plan to do another, not natural edge, and will see what I can come up with.
I thought you were going to do it ,I kept telling the screen "yea phil but the bead will make it pop you'll see,LOL I'm silly sometimes but I was actually picturing it,and waiting for it too happen..Have a great weekend..I still love it though..
I made a cedar "clay" flower pot and saucer. I used my parting tool to make most of the separation cut, then used my skews. Unconventional I know but it worked. JC
Watching this for the first time. Wondering if delineating the two components with a parting tool might have made this go a little smoother? Loving the idea.
I use an old putty knife and an old short hard point saw blade with the teeth ground off and resharpened as parting tools. They work quite well both as parting tools and as detailing tools. I don't bother putting new handles on them. Many 'other trades' tools can be repurposed for woodturning.
Hi Phil, now that was a difficult turn. I think all the youtube viewers were holding their breath throughout that undercut. You said you were unsure about the natural edge and that made me think of an alternative use for the piece. instead of a bowl on a plate turn it upside down and it’s a mortarboard for a college student ..... just a thought ;o) David
What a cool idea Phil! Beautiful shape and figure! The proportions between the bowl and plate and their respective wall thicknesses were right on the money. I have to say that I actually like the natural edge to the bowl in this piece. You were thinking otherwise, but I look at it and it's all the more "sculpted" this way. Adds a lot of movement to me. It sure looked like a scary turn! There was really no easy way going about it. I once turned a small candle holder from a 5" branch (mounted cross grain) that I wanted to basically be a little cup on a little Slab. I had same problems with getting the tool in there and it was scary the whole way through. Your turning was much larger and deeper area to cut. I can't imagine what you were feeling putting your gouge down in between the pate and bowl. That was exciting to watch! Lol I always enjoy your projects and turning/video style Phil, please keep them coming! Kyler
Thanks, Kyler. It takes a turner to know what this was like and you nailed it. Still, I'm going to try again, another time. Someone suggested the Easy Wood Detailer to get in there and I think that may be just the tool. Besides, always looking for a reason to buy a new tool! Now I have to go see if you have posted a new project. I'm sure you have so I'm gonna put my feet up and see what Ky has been up to!
madronawoodworks That makes perfect sense with the EWT detailer. That narrow sharp cutter would get in there nicely. And I think you definitely should pursue this idea further, it's a really neat idea! You're making great use of all the wood Valerie gave you my friend.
Phil, once you have it in the chuck and begin your plan mapping do you ever draw your pencil lines like to ID the plate top to avoid going to low/thin on the plate lip turning? New Englanders' just trying to see what you see as you turn. 🧓🍁
I wouldn't say never, Jessi but, maybe once. I prefer to just fly by the seat of my pants. Planning isn't my forte'. It's just a matter of stop often and look at what you have.
