Hi Phil you are a master of instruction to all of your apprentice pupils, i might be 70 years young but it is like being in the the same room as you when you tackle the next challenge you are such a positive influence on me and goodness knows how many others, so thank you again, oh and by the way i hope you bought your new toy online and did not go shopping personally for it stay safe Phil this covid19 virus is not to be ignored it is bad across the pond here where live in Scotland so keep yourself isolated because we all need you Cheers Jim.
Thank you for your very kind comment, Jim, much appreciated! Yup, mail order. But, I did have to go to the grocery store today. Wore a mask and skunk scent so people would keep their distance! LOL! Phil
This was a great video, especially at the beginning and you comment "this is miserable, we are not having fun" - because this is how I look and sometimes how I feel while doing a wood turning as total beginner - not seeing much progress, not seeing anything as I see in all videos, have no idea what am I doing wrong but I keep trying... But as you mentioned "we will get there!"
Haha, I had such a hard time in the beginning, Luka! Huge catches, wood flying everywhere! Some things just take time, I guess. Finally one day, it all just worked. I'm still learning. I'm working on a piece now that is so far out of my comfort zone I don't know why I took it on. But, it's beginning to shape up. We will get there! 😀
Thank You Phil....( if you only knew how many miles I had to hike....just to find the most off balance piece)...I was shooting for 63 rpm...ha...But your skillful turning experience far exceeded. That very old tree lived a long happy life in Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley until someone decided to kill it !!!. Phil I am very glad you gave it center stage before rotting away.... Phil YOU are always a pleasure to watch, especially on the Tough ones. TM
LOL! I knew I could count on you to give it your all, Tuffy! HA! It seems like they have all been tough ones, lately! Strawberry Canyon, what a great name! Thank you, buddy! Phil
Well... I'm speechless. You didn't learn to do that in any highschool wood shop. I'm not sure what Impressed me more. That you started it, or that you finished it.
Well, they say the 'bark is worse than the bite'. Certainly the bark is the boss of this outfit. It really makes a statement which is ably supported by the beautiful grain. How brilliant is the turner with his 'never say die' approach to his turning. You are a great role model for aspiring woodturners along with people like Gary as well. Hey, on top of all this, the bowl is a nice shape given what you started with. Love it Phil, another masterclass my friend. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Phil, I bet your little twingers were tired after this workout! I could see them bouncing back and forth. But, as usual, the Master slowly worked his magic and carved out a beautiful piece of art. Oak has its own sense of strength & beauty. Great job and another one in the books! Thanks & please be safe.
Hi Phil yet another of Tuffy's terribly testing and tortious timber for turner terrifying, successfully turned into a terrific testament to the turners art. Nice one Phil. Stay safe, Tony.
Thank you, Gord! I looked all over for a new video from you, yesterday, but didn't find one. Maybe it's out there today, I will certainly take another look! 😊 Phil
Great unique piece. Thanks for informing us of the amount of time it took to perform sanding; it really provides a healthy perspective on what to expect for new turners.
Thank you, Lee! Yeah, sanding is a necessary evil but I learned early on, it's so important. I've found that no matter how nice a piece looks, if it doesn't feel good when you pick it up, all of a sudden it doesn't looks so good, either.
Beautiful bowl as always Phil... love the grain. I heard you on how difficult it was to turn but still you manage to make it look easy and your commentary always makes me smile and sometimes laugh out loud!!! Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe...
Stunning piece!! I love that you rarely turn a round bowl but let the original piece come through in the end design. The bark makes the grain pop, beautiful finish. Loving it :-) thank you for sharing
Evening phil love bowl the hole thing looks great i love the edges off it the colour in side is amazing once again you turn out a piece of art that will last years for people to enjoy hope you and family are all well take care keep up the wonderful work you have always done all the best mate from kirk s.o.t 👍
I find I end up with a lot of awkward pieces of wood to turn. I have learnt, wiith longish pieces, where the depth of the wood is uneven, I will take the width of the wood, then, measuring from the thicker end, I'll mark the width of the wood, and remove the excess. I know you do bowls with wings, sometimes (I have yet to try them), but this works a treat for cutting down the amount of wood to be removed, as well as considerably reducing the "unbalanced bumps"... you probably already know this..I find your work really inspiring!
Thank you very much, Stephanie! 😊 I try not to cut away much or anything before turning. Sometimes there are design opportunities that appear that just wouldn't be there if the corners or anything else had been cut away, first. It would definitely help make things easier, though! LOL!
Hi Phil, thank you for this video! I am a novice wood turner. My turning began as a machinist back in the day so I was impressed to see you break out the carbide inserts! It actually is my comfort zone as I struggle to sharpen my standard bowl gouges consistently. Practice improves all things.
Excellent job Phil, looks great 👍. Like your good self I’m not a big fan of carbide tools, bought a set of three about four years ago and couldn’t get on with them. I much prefer standard gouges. Horses for courses I guess. Regards as always. Geof 🇬🇧
Thank you, Geof! They can have their place but that doesn't mean they are any fun to use. I just feel like a butcher rather than a turner when I need to use one. Hope all is well and you and yours are happy and healthy! Phil
Another great video, Phil. I share your views on carbide, but sometimes you have to experiment to see what works. Oak can be tough to turn, but worth the effort.
Another beautiful bowl, Phil. That bark really is spectacular. I think we all could tell that looking at the rough piece. You certainly made the most of it. Stay safe and well and good luck with the new tools. Bill
I never get tired of seeing a chunk of wood “turn” into a beautiful piece of art ❣️ Great editing - speeded up & normal speed at the right time. Thank you Phil!
I felt you were asking that round cutter to do the job of a chainsaw and large bowl gouge in the beginning. Your finished product is very nice however and I always enjoy watching you work and listening to your narration. I’m stealing that sanding flex idea.
{{Way to go Tuffy. Making my friend turn to...*Gasp* carbide! 😂😂 My Force filled mind knows why you sent this to Phil, and you are right! 😁 Thanks}} And now back to our regularly scheduled comment! Another blue ribbon piece of art, Phil! So lovely! I’ve often wondered when I see out of balance wood, does it affect the lathe in any negative way. It looks scary to me, like it’s going shake itself off the lathe. 😱 I hope you and your cat are doing well. OH! Speaking of cats, I’m getting 2 kittens next month! A boy and a girl! I’m so excited! Can’t wait! As usual, stay happy and healthy my friend. V🤗💋 ~ Roma 💜✨
Tuffy is just that kind of guy, Roma! He likes to watch me work! LOL! Yeah, it can be hard on the lathe bearings. But, I'm old so I expect my lathe to outlive me. HA! Oh, two cats? I think that's a good idea. I've often thought of getting Curly a friend. I think he's tired of just listening to me rattle on. Still staying home, keeping healthy. Bored! Phil
Well, AuntieRoma the way I see it is if I can put a little hop or skip in Phil's steps walking out to the workshop each turning than I have accomplished my small part in his creative adventures. TM
tuffy marginez: Awesome Tuffy! I like that! Hop, skip & jump! Quite the visual too! 😂 I’m glad you sent it to him, thanks! I love it when you send him interesting wood to turn. Do you wood work also? (I hope you know I was just being silly with the original comment. I’m the Queen of silly, ask Phil! 😂) Be safe! ~ ✨🍅 Roma (PS to Phil, sorry for another conversation happening on your comment). 😁😁✨
@@AuntieRoma Well if you are the "Queen of silly"...I would consider myself the "King of not taking life seriously"...ha...Just good clean fun for all...No, I am a machinist and do not turn wood unless the blueprint calls for it or my very active imagination on some of my very silly projects tells me too. TM
Now you feel my pain. Live oak is the main tree that we have here in my are of north Texas. 90 percent of all tree cut down here are Live Oak. I have tons of it sitting on the driveway. After it dries any it becomes hard as a rock. It's just a hard wood to turn. The main thing with it is it always looks the same as far as the grain. Never much variation from tree to tree. You piece is nice but they get boring real quick. I did find a pear tree that was taken down the other day and it's a little easier to turn. So I always envy all the different woods you get to turn :)
Thank you, James! I don't think there is any Mesquite in his area, but I'd sure like a shot at some. I understand it's quite hard but beautiful, so worth the effort.
Beautiful grain, another gorgeous turning! It likely wouldn't have kicked you in the arse if you could have gotten the RPMs up over 1200. One thing, though... As you know, Phil, I only use carbide. Taught myself how they worked for me, because no one ever told me that I couldn't. I would not have roughed that piece with a midsized round bit. That is a nice big tool, but looks like a midsize bit. My choice, and I can already hear the gasps, would have been large square bit. You can really hog the exterior quicker than with the round one, at least in my self-taught experience. Then the slightly curved square bit to finesse the curve and prep the surface for sanding. But that's just me. (that chunk would've kicked my arse, too-- hard!) Gorgeous piece!
I did consider the square cutter, Dave, but since it was my first time using that set, I just felt the round would be more forgiving if less aggressive. Thank you, my friend! Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop No worries! It's because no one told me I couldn't do that with just carbide that....well....yes,yes I can! 😁 Didn't say I could do it better! One more thing: with a square bit, you CAN direct the shavings....... All over and further! 😁 😂 😝
Your patience and hard work certainly paid off Phil, a great piece of art once again, love it. You mentioned the microwave to get rid of any bugs that may be present, what power setting do you use and for how long? Keep well & keep turning. Thanks once again. Howard
Thank you, Howard! For this piece and similar sized pieces, I do one minute on, four minutes off. I did that four times, on high power. Hope that helps! 😊
That is a very cool piece Phil. The bark really lets you know it's the boss of this turning. Wow is it some serious bark. The rugged look against the beautiful grain really compliments it. Kind of like me..ruff around the edges. I hope you microwave at lunch time...might as well there might be some good protein in there..lol Tuffy sent you a challenge but you were up for the job again. Great job my friend, Gary
Yes, Gary, I was able to add a few bits to my ham sandwich that day! LOL! It's all good except for the legs, they get stuck between my teeth. Thank you, buddy, looking forward to your new video, soon! Phil
Hi Phil I Hope You A Well My Friend Wow Again Master Class Great Job Thanks You For Sharing Take Care and Stay My Friend 😎👍, We A Still in Lockdown going into 9th Week Isolation Still Continued in Scotland UK, The Hold UK England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, is 2nd Highest of Deaths Rate
The sanding sealer I use is thinner than shellac so it gets into the pores more easily and forms a bond with the wood. That allows the shellac to build better. I suppose you could apply shellac directly to the wood but it would be too thick and likely leave a mess. But, all that is just a guess, I've never done it.
Do you ever shim the wood before you use the forstner bit? The original rip cut on the flat side may be totally random and not worth starting from. If you shim the wood, you can make the live edge side relatively flat end to end as you rough it.
I may have shimmed a time or two, David. While that might make turning easier, it will definitely affect the natural appearance of the piece. I'm more about nature than symmetry. I like to work with what I'm given rather than modify it to meet some other need. Thanks for your comment! Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I understand what you're saying, but sometimes the asymmetry is not natural but the result of the chainsaw cut leaving one end high.
Phil *Hey everbody, look at this piece!* Everbody Grandkids Everbody *🎶Who let the dogs out?🎶🎶 Grandkids *🎶Bark, bark bark🎶 Everbody *🎶Who let the dogs out?🎶🎶 Grandkids *🎶Bark, bark bark🎶 Ankle biter *🐕Yip, yip yip Phil * Sigh, I'm going back to the shop. If there's an emergency-call 911. Sorry Phil, very nice turning!
I just prefer traditional gouges, Ivan and only use carbide when it's more efficient. I can get a much cleaner cut with high speed steel and I can feel the wood better using them. Thank you!
Great looking bowl Great job
Glad you like it, Rich! It's a pretty one.
Great work👍 I love the bowl .. 😀😀
Thank you very much!
For all the difficulties, with all your patience & skill, it's a winner. A very lovely final piece. Well done Phil.

Beautiful grain, another gorgeous turning! It likely wouldn't have kicked you in the arse if you could have gotten the RPMs up over 1200. One thing, though... As you know, Phil, I only use carbide. Taught myself how they worked for me, because no one ever told me that I couldn't. I would not have roughed that piece with a midsized round bit. That is a nice big tool, but looks like a midsize bit. My choice, and I can already hear the gasps, would have been large square bit. You can really hog the exterior quicker than with the round one, at least in my self-taught experience. Then the slightly curved square bit to finesse the curve and prep the surface for sanding. But that's just me. (that chunk would've kicked my arse, too-- hard!)
Gorgeous piece!
I did consider the square cutter, Dave, but since it was my first time using that set, I just felt the round would be more forgiving if less aggressive. Thank you, my friend!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop No worries! It's because no one told me I couldn't do that with just carbide that....well....yes,yes I can! 😁
Didn't say I could do it better! One more thing: with a square bit, you CAN direct the shavings....... All over and further! 😁 😂 😝
Your patience and hard work certainly paid off Phil, a great piece of art once again, love it.
You mentioned the microwave to get rid of any bugs that may be present, what power setting do you use and for how long? Keep well & keep turning. Thanks once again. Howard
Thank you, Howard! For this piece and similar sized pieces, I do one minute on, four minutes off. I did that four times, on high power. Hope that helps! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thank you Phil for your reply, I'll do the same in future, just in case. H
That is a very cool piece Phil. The bark really lets you know it's the boss of this turning. Wow is it some serious bark.
The rugged look against the beautiful grain really compliments it. Kind of like me..ruff around the edges.
I hope you microwave at lunch time...might as well there might be some good protein in there..lol
Tuffy sent you a challenge but you were up for the job again.
Great job my friend,
Gary
Yes, Gary, I was able to add a few bits to my ham sandwich that day! LOL! It's all good except for the legs, they get stuck between my teeth. Thank you, buddy, looking forward to your new video, soon!
Phil
There is a deflector plate that is clear and directs the chips away...
Thank you for the reminder, Rob! I don't use the carbide enough to even think about that plate so your reminder helps.
HI Phil. ANother great job. When you switched to the 1/2in. gouge ,it seemed to go better. Hard to turn when your dodging wood chips.
Ah, thank you, Ron! You definitely understand! ☺
Hi Phil I Hope You A Well My Friend Wow Again Master Class Great Job Thanks You For Sharing Take Care and Stay My Friend 😎👍, We A Still in Lockdown going into 9th Week Isolation Still Continued in Scotland UK, The Hold UK England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, is 2nd Highest of Deaths Rate
Thank you, Scott! Whoa, hold on tight, it's a bumpy ride for sure.
love it !!!!!!! :
Thank you, Walt!
Can one only use a shellac finish on a piece to which sanding sealer has been applied?
The sanding sealer I use is thinner than shellac so it gets into the pores more easily and forms a bond with the wood. That allows the shellac to build better. I suppose you could apply shellac directly to the wood but it would be too thick and likely leave a mess. But, all that is just a guess, I've never done it.
after sanding sealer could I use say a verathaine finish?
Do you ever shim the wood before you use the forstner bit? The original rip cut on the flat side may be totally random and not worth starting from. If you shim the wood, you can make the live edge side relatively flat end to end as you rough it.
I may have shimmed a time or two, David. While that might make turning easier, it will definitely affect the natural appearance of the piece. I'm more about nature than symmetry. I like to work with what I'm given rather than modify it to meet some other need. Thanks for your comment!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I understand what you're saying, but sometimes the asymmetry is not natural but the result of the chainsaw cut leaving one end high.

Sorry Phil, very nice turning!
Someone has wound your key a little too tight, Al! LOL! Thank you for the giggles! ☺
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop hehehe...trying to put on a final finish in a sand storm will do that. Always enjoy your turnings.
As always, great work! Phil, you started using Rikon cutters, but then you used the old ones. Rikon you didn't like, why?
I just prefer traditional gouges, Ivan and only use carbide when it's more efficient. I can get a much cleaner cut with high speed steel and I can feel the wood better using them. Thank you!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Я так и думал. Мне тоже более привычны обычные резцы. Спасибо!
