Pretty 👀 Surprises In This Live Oak! - Wood Turning 

Mr Phil, I have just one thing to say to you. DO NOT CHANGE! Stay exactly who you are, the way you are. It's the reason we all love you and your channel. I will never tire of your commentary. Keep up the beautiful work. But don't change a thing. We love you just the way you are.

In an ever-changing world, your constant "Good morning, good afternoon, good evening" and "Thank you ___, for sending this along for alllllll to enjoy" are some of the hightlights of my week. Never stop!

I never get tired of listening to you explaining what your doing even though I know it by heart now. I hope your new viewers will learn your phrases too. Thanks

One of the reasons I wait with baited breath each week for your videos is your commentary. That is what got me started. I never get tired of repeated comments. Once again you let the wood show us it’s best side.

Don't change how you do your turning videos. We love seeing all the steps and hearing you talk through all the process. We love all your catchphrases.

When you share what you're doing you're teaching, it's why I enjoy every piece you create! Please keep up the good work!

Oh don't change your narrative I like to hear it. The Live Oak bowl is so pretty!!! I'm going back to designing more greeting cards. Have a good weekend. 👍🙂

Some days as I get ready to work outside I say outloud, Mask and face shield on (wearing neither) and commence to starting my day!

That turned out very pretty Phil. Nice wood, love the shape. Dont stop your commentary, even if some are tired of it, its not fair to new viewers to miss out. Besidez, its part of the charm of your channel.

It looks good tome too, Phil and I for one don’t get tired of your voice overs. We all need to be reminded regularly or we….. what do we do? Oh, yes, forget 🤣🌞

Phil your commentary is never unwanted or boring. I think it's is part of the reason you have so many dedicated fans. The piece is a beaut, love the inside grain pattern in particular. Keep on keeping on my friend.

Please keep talking Phil , there are other videos where they don't talk (boring). Tell some stories while you work , always entertaining and informative.

I see a lot of comments on the way you comment your work, but nobody will stop looking out for your next video. I wait every week to see your new piece, your work is marvellous every time

Thanks, Phil! Never stop repeating what you're thinking. Your running narrative is the best! Have a good weekend!

Hi Phil, Dan here. Love the way you are not sure at first, but it still ends up a classic. Wait every week for the next video. Please keep them coming. Thanks again.

One of the things I find most delightful about people I know well is when they do or say something that is SO who they are, it makes me smile. Your repeated phrases give me that same, comfortable, easy feeling. It doesn’t matter that I know very little else about you. Those repeated phrases make you seem like an old friend. I have a few favorites (Commence to removing this tennon, Left hand on the switch right hand on the gouge, As soon as I get my mask on). Familiar is good. Then when you throw in “it’s sanding sealer, DUH,” I laugh out loud. If you change your presentation I’d miss those things, but you do you, and if you’re bored with yourself, we’ll adapt. 🥰 Thanks for your terrific content every week!

I always enjoy hearing Thank you Tuffy Marginez for this piece of wood.

Phil, please keep the commentary coming!!! I’ve learned more from watching and listening to you as you work!!! A beautiful bowl, thank you for sharing!!

Well at 7:45 when you said you still didn't know what your doing 😮 you had me fooled. If you were to read the phone book we would still listen in. Beautiful piece of oak with great colors. Stay safe be well. Dennis Thank you birthday boy ! Many more

Not tired of going through the steps. Always good to hear you “think out loud”. Thank you!

Phil, I never get tired of hearing you explain your actions. I enjoy watching it all.

You keep on talking , love listening to what you have to say. As usual another beautiful piece ❤.

Hi Phil I'll never tire of you talking, love the piece it's beautiful❤❤

Never change, Phil. You are unique on RU-vid, by far the best. Great Bowl today by the way.

Hi Phil, When I started watching your videos a couple years ago I learned so much. I looked forward to your instruction and listened intently for your pearls of wisdom. If you stopped talking It would be a shame when the next new viewer comes along and misses out on your commentary. Keep talking.

I haven't gotten tired of your commentary. After all, the first thing I think to myself when I get started is "Mask and face shield on."

There is comfort in routine and tradition. Those of us who have watched you for a long time know that you will teach techniques, safety, and creativity as you turn your works of art, so that no matter who is watching, those good messages will be heard. What a shame if a new viewer didn't have a chance to understand the wood worm screw, or see the sand o flex smoothing bark, or watch the magical removal of the little nub. As a fellow named Mr Rogers always said, "I like you just the way you are". The bowl is beautiful! Thank you and Happy Birthday to Tuffy! Thank you Phil! 😊

Phil, your explanations never get old. You do such a good job of explaining what you're doing and why you're doing it. Keep it up. Besides, you never know when someone new is going to tune in to your channel and has never heard your explanation before. Not only that, but you've got to say something during those times! Beautiful bowl - once again. Thanks for all your thoughtful and helpful videos.

Keep up with the commentary! We don't watch your videos just for the woodturning. You make pieces that most of us would be afraid to tackle, and you talking through the process helps!

Dont change. I, as many others, need and love to hear your signature phrases. We enjoy seeing the processes you use to achieve the end results. I like seeing as this one the little nub stop turning instead of giving up in pieces. So keep it up. We enjoy you, Phil, as much as the nifty little live oak bowl.

While I never tire of your explanations, I constantly learn from them. Don't ever stop being Phil at shady acres woodshop.

I prefer commentary to someone who never says anything. A compote is a mix of fresh fruit sugared and chilled. So delicious. Your bowl is beautiful.😊😊

Your commentary makes it like you're telling a story. A book that you can't put down.

Phil, many of us are creatures of habit. I among them and I enjoy the repetition. Please don’t change. It’s comforting.

Greetings from Down Under. Please do not change a thing. Yes, we can talk along with you but that is the fun and the joy of watching you every week. Don't change a thing!

It’s a fruit bowl and a beautiful one. The bark is so nice! Phil, you are a one of a kind treasure. I look forward to your videos every week. Your commentary is what sets you apart as the best my friend.

Nice bowl, Phil. Don't change anything you do. You just be you. You didn't get to 64K subs because we're tired if hearing you. If anyone doesn't like it, they don't have to watch. Besides, any new viewers will have the chance to hear you and appreciate your commentary. Bill

Lease don’t change an!! A big part of the allure of your channel IS your light banger” commentary “. We love you!! The piece you just turned is awesome!!

Please DO NOT quit showing & explaining your process! I’m new to turning and I learn something with every video! Thank you!

Lovely piece, reminds me of an old fashioned bath tub

Keep talking Phil! The commentary is one reason that I enjoy your video's🙂 Jim Brown N.B. CANADA

Never get tired of your repetitions of what you are doing because it reminds me of what I have to do when I’m turning wood or any other job I’m doing , as my grandfather used to say , Think twice measure thrice cut once and remind yourself what you are doing next in the process of completing the project , all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

Another beautiful keepa,thanks for sharing all your comment's and knowledge and we'll never get tired of you Talkin please don't stop ❤

Phil, yet another beautiful piece 👍 Please don't change! I look forward to your videos every week, I enjoy every single one of them 😊 You are a constant inspiration to me 👍

PLEASE continue to talk us through what you are doing!! Sure, I've seen and heard it before, but reminding is always helpful. When I first started watching your videos, I was wintering in Yuma, Arizona, so I didn't have my wood lathe with me. So when I got home, I watched more and could go right to my lathe and practice! Also, there will be some new viewers, and they would need to listen, watch, and learn from you. We "older" viewers can still learn! A side note: I have discovered that with shellac, you can add an additional coat, and the shellac will fuse with the former coat, and not just add a new coat on top of the old. That's why you can keep your brushes for so long--the shellac just softens the old shellac on the brush, and it all blends together. And be assured that I do like the shape that you made. It is beautiful wood, and a beautiful bowl, as well!😊

Beautiful turnout, never get tired of you being you and explaining your process. Thanks for sharing your lovely work Phil.

I like the shape. It looks like a old woven basket. I love the talking, I don't subscribe to folks who don't tell me what they're doing.

For the algorithm. I will for real watch tomorrow.

I love to hear you think out loud. That's when you teach. I love my half-inch gouge. It's lighter, and I have much more control than with a 5/8" what a beautiful piece,Phil. All the little different darker spots really makes it pop!!!

Hey Phil, so glad that you eventually came 'round to liking this piece. It looked for a moment as if you were going to be sad and disappointed with something that is actually quite nice. :-). The slightly unusual color and the dark spots on the wood make it visually interesting. It will be interesting to read other people's comments about going over many of the same steps in each turning.To long-time viewers, the repetition might be dull, but to new viewers, the information could still be valuable. In any case, thank you for another fun video and thanks to Tuffy for sending the wood. P. S. The notion of celebrating your birthday by giving something to someone else, (as Tuffy seems to have done), sounds intriguing.

Please don’t change your commentary style! I enjoy listening to you talk about whatever piece you’re working on. Also, the shape of this piece reminds me of a flower basket or an Easter basket, minus the handle.

Like the previous comment, there’s something that’s familiar and assuring. Love your commentary and cute sense of humor. 💕

Another great project and I have to tell you that I actually laughed out loud when you said it looked like a cottage cheese container. NO ONE gets tired of your great commentary! Absolutely Beautiful bowl! I also take my tenons off on the lathe also. I hate using the hand chisel.

Morning Phil, My tea is cold again LOL. Great video Phil and a lovely looking live edge bowl. I know the words you say off by heart when you remove the tenon and your videos would not be the same without them. I do not know anyone who removes the nub so perfectly. So please keep it all in. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

Thank You Phil...I forget which one that was. Could it be Silk Oak? I put some leaves in a zip-lock bag in the bottom and a description of the tree? Or not, cause I also forget. Silk Oak comes from Australia/New Zealand and used for landscaping in the Bay Area....Gee Phil I would probably have trouble sleeping Thursday night if you stopped doing your spiel, ha... until next time ...TM

You can never be certain if you have someone visiting your channel for the first so please, keep up the commentary. If anyone doesn't wanna hear you, they can turn down, or even off, the volume. Another really pretty piece Phil.

Hi there Sr. How nice to see you every week. It's already part of my life and I want to thank you for this weekly good moment we share, you with this amazing conversation me full of confidence: always you are going to produce something great. God bless. Until next week!

Keep repeating. There might be someone new and they won't know what to do. I love hearing your instructions. Beautiful bowl!

Another Masterpiece, please don’t change anything you do , that is why I watch and follow you. Always such interesting pieces and always love the bark on. Thanks again Phil. All the best to you. Regards Jim

Personally, I really like the commentary. Great piece, yet again!!🙂👍

Hi Phil, I love that style of bowl. I have made quite a few like that, it's beautiful and well done! Please don't change anything about your videos. The tenant removal is genius, you taught me that! It takes a bit of practice but it's simpler and there is less chance of damage to the piece than with a chisel and mallet. As for your commentary.... please continue with them, its like woodturning gospel to me. Glenn

A beautiful and functional bowl. Ia couple small apples and oranges and it would look right at home on granny's kitchen table. 😉👍🏻🥃🇺🇸

You just keep bein' you Phil!!👍🖖 Live long and keep turnin'!!

“I still don’t know what I’m doing “. Man, we’ve all been there. I love the depth and character of the bark. Once again, nice job. 👍🏼

I liked this shape right from the beginning. Would make a beautiful dough bowl to display small cross stitch pillows in for decor

BEAUTIFUL!! Nuff said. 😎😎😎 Take care, …..Gord

Phil your commentary and explanations are an integral part of the veiwing pleasure That is another beautiful bowl late happy birthday to Tuffy

Phil, i like all the others I never get tired of hearing your process because it’s always good and honest, and i think you were maybe forgetting the golden rule at the beginning, it is what it is and the wood will let you know what it wants to be, nature will find a way. Loving your work as always, my wood turning inspiration, thanks from the UK

I always enjoy your commentary. Please don't stop. Another beautiful piece! Well done! Thx and take care.

CRICKY Phill I just love your " WITY WISE AND OTHER WISE "👏👏👏🏅🏅🏅 COMMENTS WHILE YOU ARE TURNING. What makes a good Turner is repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition. Love your work mate bloody ripper. Keep the dream alive son, is my repetitive comment to all of my 50 channels that i have as subscribers. Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia

Hey Phil like a lot of your other subscribers i too never tire of your commentary please don’t stop.

I enjoy your conservation. It feels like a visit with an old friend. Please don't change! Love the live oak never seen it before.

I LOVE the character in this piece of wood!! And the bark is unusually thick! I was a bit worried it might turn loose in a section and ruin the live edge appearance. As for hearing you describe what you do, the steps you take to create each piece, I dont mind it at all. Anybody that might be tired of it can just go hang! Its your channel, Phil, you do and say whatever you want!! Thanks for another gorgeous, unique piece of art!❤

Your repeated phrases through the episode are as expected as Paul Harvey's "And now, the rest of the story..." I grin each time I hear each of them.

Love the colour, and those dark features really made the piece. Carole (the lady who makes my life worth living) wasn’t sure about the bark around the time you started work on the inside, but at the end she really liked it.

really beautiful you keep doing what your doing I think we all love you for who you are Phil!!......Larry

Keep talking and keep turning we love it, music to our hears

Another neat piece Phil. The features in the grain really make it interesting and the bark really sets it off. I like hearing how you talk through your design choices -- glad this one turned out where you were satisfied with it after your initial concerns regarding how the shape was developing. Nothing wrong with repeating yourself in each video since you don't know who is new to your channel.

See, you didn't like it at first, but made another beauty. I like all the little knots. Reminds me of some kind of pine

I turn a lot of wood of unknown origin, I am always pleases with the results. I too have to change my horse in the middle of the stream to get my results To begin with, it not looking like the results you were expecting and expressing how disappointed with the looks you were going for, all your changes worked, I would show it off to everyone the result was a beautiful bowl. I would always keep on explaing what you are doing and not should not bore anyone. We all need a reminder once in a while. If you feel you are too good to be reminded, you might miss some of Phils valuable teachings. He tells us HOW, WHERE, AND WHEN he accomplishes to get the professional look out of all his turnings. This is why I tune into your channel every week. KEEP ON TURNING 😋

At the start of this episode I'm glad you still have your Thumb.😁 Good looking project my friend. 🥰

Thank you Phil, simple and elegant. Easy peasy!!

I think that piece needs a laying hen statue and some wood shavings to sit inside of it.

A really nice piece, Phil! Always look forward to what you have in store for us. Thanks!!

Love the repeated phrases, thank you for the demo as always all the best Andrew

We are here Phil, I think you need to turn up the volume as im shouting I love it.

Never gets tired! Another beautiful bowl for the books! I liked the looks of the flared top. Thanks Phil!

I’ve never used live oak before but I do love its character and the bark is fantastic, I think you found the right shape for it too.! Thanks Phil!

Phil I could never tire of hearing you repeatedly giving your advice as I see it, another great piece love a live edge, not sure what the wood is but it has some great features. Many thanks.

That dark bark is gorgeous -- the wood is pretty. Great job as always.

Phil your videos are great! I am a bit dismayed watching without you talking. I get so much enjoyment from your videos and you talking about what you are doing and such. In all honesty I did not complete the video. I give a thumbs up out of respect for you, but not my thing without commentary as the vibe and enjoyment comes from you talking through video making it a personal experience. Mad respect for you and your quality work.

great bowl, and as always, great running commentary. That's what we come for!

Hi Phil, you do a great job explaining your steps and commenting as you go. I really appreciate hearing your thoughts as you create. It's always a beautiful outcome, so don't change a thing!

i love all the little dark spots and fissures and the chocolate bark really sets off the lighter wood

Very nice. The live edge is great, your voice over showing all the steps greatly appreciated. Thanks

Another piece of art. The bark sets it off nicely. Again, Phil, thanks for sharing with your RU-vid family

Honestly Phil. Keep up the commentary. It's why I watch your content. Great turning! Cheers from Australia

Wonderful work as always Phil, brightened up my morning in the office doing lighting designs and quotes. Stay Well my friend

Keep up the commentary if that suits you. I look forward to your videos, have always loved watching them. Take care of you and see you next time!

Beautiful looking bowl Phil. Keep doing what you are doing. Don’t change anything.
