Good Sunday morning Phil. I would be in church but its closed due to covid. So I get to watch you turn another beautiful bowl. I can imagine how much of them your wife has in the house. Lol. Have a blessed day stay safe amd healthy.
Turned out nice Phil. I wasn't sure it would hold together but it did. I also use some Benjamin's Best tools. They are fine but I find they are inconsistent with their hardness and a few have such a short flute that I soon sharpen them beyond their usable length. I'm relatively new at turning and much like you stocked up at retirement and am ready to upgrade now that I've learned to sharpen. Didn't want to waste high quality steel during my learning phase.
Exactly, Charlie! I learned sooo much about sharpening using these tools. I will probably stick with them until I've worn them down, but then I'll move on. Thanks for the comment and watching!
Hi, Phil, You may want to try Carter & Sons M42 steel turning tools. I have 3 of their tools and can't be happier. The edges last 3x or 4x as long as my Robert Sorby M2 steel gouges.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I believe you will like their tools. I find well made tools like fine wine. They make everything better and life is too short to not enjoy some of the finer things. I am 67 and not wealthy, so I am very careful where I spend money, just like I am careful where I spend my time.😉
Phil, two questions. What do you do with all the wood shavings? I hope you put it in your garden or compost pile. Second question, have you ever tried Modge Podge asa finish? I do not turn wood, but I do wood burn things and also make what I call my Magic a mountain sticks which I hang stuff on. I use Modge Podge and then usually spray a clear coat over it. It removes any of that Punky stuff you talk about on some of your pieces. Love your channel.
Once in awhile I'll use some to fill a depression somewhere on the property, Alice but mostly I throw it all over the bank out back. Some wood, like Walnut, is toxic in a garden. I usually use only two finishes, Feed & Wax or shellac. I like that they are all natural and you can still feel the wood grain through the finish. I'm so glad you find time to watch and comment, thank you! 😃
Why do you not put the date on the pieces you turn? I think that is as important as your name and the specie of wood. More than likely, your work will survive you, and the age of the piece can be quite important. I speak from personal experience that i won't relate at this time! Love your videos, sir, and have learned a lot from them! May you turn for a long time yet......!
I used to write the date on the pieces, Cathy. Then I read somewhere that a guy that sells at craft fairs, etc. said people see an older date and assume something is wrong with the piece and won't buy it. I have never sold any of my work but if I finally get around to it, I thought his comment made sense. But, I agree, the date is important. Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop My eyes and noes started running watching this.... I am VERY allergic to CA of all kinds. Liquid fumes, smoke fumes and dust.... Literally one wiff and.its 3-4 days total misery. Probably will go to hospital next time. One day I loved CA.... Next day it was all over. Be careful please. (I blow a fan across when I use now... But I only use a drop or two for specific reasons)
To be honest Phil I’m in the feel the wood finish I like to use teak oil then wax it brings the grail out protects from dirt but you still feel the wood this piece is right up my street👍
Hello Phil you know every time I see the piece of wood you start with, I try to think what you will do to it and I am always amazed at the fantastic art piece you finish with. It is awesome and breathtakingly beautiful.
You and I are in the same boat, Kobie. I never know what it will be, either! That's half the fun of this turning thing. I'm so glad you like it, thank you! Phil
hey Phil,do you sell these creations to supplement your retirement income,or did you do your life correct and all good on retirement,like most of us thought we would,but didn't work quite as expected??
A little of both, Fran. I'm doing fine but would love to sell some of my work. The problem is, I'm a one man show and I simply don't have the time for packing and shipping. It's getting crowded around here! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop oh Phil,so sorry to hear that,my condolences to you,some of your vids are old and you speak of her often,but you do very good work as you teii us you are lost,very good,can't wait to get out there,but cold here -34 and I have same heat as you,so just gathering stuff for when warms in april,keep up the amazing work
Very seldom, Harvey. When I do, I usually use a faceplate ring. They screw onto the work piece much like a faceplate but they have a dovetail recess that is held by the jaws of the chuck. This way I don't have to remove the chuck to screw on a faceplate. Hope that helps!
Phil, you outdone yourself again with that nice piece, it's beautiful. I got to get back to my old hound dog. I'm not paying my animal psychologist another cent. My hound still thinks he is an eagle. I wouldn't mind so much but he keeps getting stuck in the tree tops. This is the humor of a wood turner. lol
I like the rustic look, Phil. And because much of my turning stock is wormy I turn my own share of rustic looking pieces. But I like the character. Well done as far as I'm concerned.
Howdy Phil! I wonder, did you consider arcing the top from the bowl to the outer edge rather than straight across? A beautiful piece once again. Thank you!
I don't remember if I considered that or not with this one, Paula. I have done it on others and it's a great look. Thank you for watching and taking your time to comment!
EXCELLENT SIR!!! Great work keep pushing the unknown designs. Become your on designer and not conforming to what most call a bowl. God bless..Jesus Loves You🙄
HI PHIL that is beautiful also it would look good putting this bowl on top of your birdseye cherry platter just for a different look you can tell other people it is a set anyway i need to get out and try to find wood with troubled areas to turn also see ya and GODBLESS larry
Just though you should know that C A stands for cyanide acroliade (acrylic) the fumes you are seeing are cyanide gas the stuff the use to use in the gas chamber so you should be very careful I would be very sad if you were injured also your turning is awesome I look forward to lots more ...Danial
I was especially interested in this post as I have several pieces of an apple tree limb about the same size and wondered what I was going to with them. Now I know. Thanks Phil.
Doug Eaton I love to bowl and will try to do something similar. I have learned a lot about finishing from your videos. The ‘C’ in CA glue is for cyanide, so that odor and smoke is more than just obnoxious.
I didn't really try much with this bowl, Doug. It revealed itself as a square bowl early on and I just left it alone. Yes, I'm learning more and more about CA as I go along and have learned to turn on a fan, don't hold my head over it and just get it done and out of the way. It can be nasty stuff. Thank you, Doug, for taking your time to watch and comment! Phil
