When I first saw you were going to make a "Weed Pot", I thought, Yes siree bob!, I'm going to make me one of them! I could just imagine it sitting there with a nicely turned, snug fitting top, on the table near my favourite seat in the lounge room, that carefully polished Red Gum , (that's a really hard eucalyptus wood we have around here), just glowing in the subdued light, holding quite a few grams of some really great dope my friend grows, a lot of papers, and a cigarette lighter, I could almost see it in front of me! Then my whole world came crashing down, I realised your idea of a "weed pot" was different to my idea of a "weed pot", I've dried my tears since, I guess my weed will just have to continue being kept in Grandma's old tea canister on top of the refrigerator! Sweet dreams.
Howdy, Phil! Nice vase! And, guess what? There's backstory about that chestnut wood. (no, Dave, really?😮) Where we used to live, there are several very old, gnarly, massive-- and well-known! --American chestnut trees growing close by. There are also a lot of industrious, hungry squirrels. One of the little characters buried a stash at the base of the neighbors' brick fireplace chimney. One of his nuts sprouted. By the time anyone noticed, it was big enough to start causing problems with the brickwork. They asked me to cut it down and had their yard guy dig out the root. The trunk was about 6" diameter. It was a real pleasure watching you turn that lovely weed pot.
Very nice clean and pretty vase. Not everything you turn has to have a lot of bark on it. 😜 You might get to be a spindle turner yet! P.S. was just given a wood steady rest. Would offer to trade, but I know you won’t!
@@valeriehenschel1590 There are quite a number all over the greater Portland area. Some, like the ones mentioned, are likely 100 years old and 5-6' diameter at the base. The tree this one's nut came from is one of 3 on SE Stark St, just west of Mt. Tabor, if you're ever in that area. Right across from Portland Nursery. Can't miss 'em if you know what to look for.
“Simple is elegant” is a phrase my mother in law uses when she talks about how women should dress. The same holds true here, I think. Beautiful weed pot, Phil! Well done.
April 6th 2023 ___ So pretty, Phil. I'd never heard the name 'weedpot'. Learn something new every day. ...I prefer cold to heat of summer, but, we had freezing rain here. Lots of tree branches came down. Sounds of chainsaws. 🌲🌳
That wood grain is beautiful as well as the piece. And here I thought it was some other kind of weed you was talking about 😂 lol I am only joking. Hope you have a Blessed Easter Phil.
This is a nice vase. I was surprised how thin chestnut bark is. The finish is beautiful. It shows off the grain of the wood. This is a fun turning. I like it! Thanks for the show Joel
Thank you Phil, I half expected the piece of wood to get the Anderson treatment, turned at 90 degrees to the grain and made into a natural edge winged bowl. You got me lol.
That is certainly a beautiful classic shape, from a lovely piece of wood. Also, most people I know keep their weed in baggies. The wooden vase is a very attractive alternative.
That is a beautiful vase Phil ,the grain does enough not to out do any flowers you put in it,but if you stood it alone it has enough to catch your eye , well done and thank you from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Very nice. Another piece of wood talked you into a beautiful end result. I love the way you put a piece of wood on the lathe then let it speak to you. Who wouldn’t love a weed pot like that.
Well you've done it again !! Turned a piece of plane piece of wood into a lovely of art ,I wasn't expecting it to turn out like that amazing . I love wood !!!!!!!!
Very nice Phil; that finished up beautifully and I really like the shape you gave it. It's not your standard fare, but departing from what one normally does is good every once in a while. Weed pots are fun to turn.
Hi Phil! I really like this vase. Simple, but beautiful! I thought you were going to put a glass insert in it for fresh flowers. 😄 I guessed wrong this time. 😂 Sorry I missed last week, health appointments almost everyday. 🙄 Gaaah!, 😖 Today, 4/7/23, are Sabine and Mando’s 3rd birthday! They are my cats. Right now Sabine is sleeping on my legs. Typical. I hope you have a spectacular week and I’ll see you next week, I hope! Have a wonderful Easter! Hugs to you my friend! 💫✨ Roma 🐘 🌲💚🌳🦅
I always forget the inserts, Roma, and I have a LOT of them in different sizes! Dang it! Happy Birthday to the feline twins! Happy Easter hugs to you, too! 😄
Very nice! Very similar to one I’ve just turned in Yew! I used your sandpaper on a stick in the drill trick. Worked a treat. 😉. Also used the stick trick with a paper towel for spreading the sanding sealer on the inside. Like the idea of disguising the centre mark from the forstner bit with the rings…. Might be borrowing that! 😉👍🏻🤗
Morning Phil, That is a lovely looking weed pot with a very interesting grain pattern on it. I like the way you disguised the forstner bit dimple as well. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw 🫖🫖🫖🫖
Phil as always the finished product is great. You were the first wood turner that I started watching. I feel like it’s a family show. For the last 6 months I have not been able to get back into my shop for health reasons. Things are getting better but I live my fantasy thru watching your videos. Great job, see you in a week.
Hi Phil As I said before, just found your channel and have been going through your videos when I came across your video "Why did you start a You Tube channel" So sorry for your loss although very belated. Guess we are brothers in more than woodworking having both lost our wives. I can see where a lot of your heart and love goes now. It shows in every piece of wood you give new life. Keep making shavings and fantastic works of art. Bob
A classic. I don't think there's anything you can't turn Phil. Your touch with the gouge, like around the top, makes me very envious. Wish I had that finesse. I've never turned chestnut before and it appeared to be a very open grain wood so I am really amazed at the finish you got on there. And it looks like you might be a decent flower arranger as well. Keep on keeping on my friend.
It is an open grained wood, Bob but that makes it easy to sand and that is what accounts for the great finish I was able to get. As for flower arranging, well, sometimes ya get lucky! 😄
Oh how lucky you are to be working with American Chestnut 🌰. Where I live here in central Pa I can only look at pictures of how massive those trees used to be in our area at our local library. Happy turning my friend ☺️ .
Howdy Phil. I think this is a very beautiful 'weed pot' well suited to dry or artificial flowers. As I've said before, you're not a bad spindle turner, for a non-spindle turner. Seriously, it is nice to break out of our comfort zone from time to time & you do spindle turn very well. Nice shape, brilliant finish & a joy to watch it develop the way it did. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
It's just that I keep forgetting my next step cause I'm not used to spindle turning. I guess if I keep at it I'll remember but I still prefer bowl turning. Thank you, Don! 😄
Nice to see you do something a bit different for you, Phil! Very simple design but but simple is beautiful when executed wonderfully as you have just shown. Great job!
I do not think I have ever seen you use that massive ruffing gauge before. Phil you say your not a spindle turner but you seem to be doing a fine job of it. Looks like Chestnut turns nicely & has an interesting grain that I am not use to with a nice shiny finish. Until next time Phil...TM
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop It was very well done and I would guess that the optical splice would be on the top right? So if it rotated the image would separate at that point? Confuse-a-Tuffy ... (ah, so if I am wrong I can just blame it on "old age". I love being allowed to finely have an excuse now, ha. 🤩..... TM
Great job Phil, love the chestnut. In our house your known as Mr Inconcievable because your voice reminds my wife of Wallace Shawn from The Princess Bride. Inconcievable was his catch phrase.
Hi 👋, PHIL FROM PHIL, A nice looking 👀 Vase, Phil. I attempted to do a flower on the thin stem last weekend after the fourth or fifth attempt I gave up, from what I can gather the wood was to dry it’s better if it was very Greenwood, I might have another go this weekend, Mason Greenwood, this time. Keep up the great work. Stay safe., look forward to next project.. PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN, FRANCE
You did make all my weeds and twigs in my area very proud that they get to be displayed in this very Beautiful Tig Pot. I love to turn a Twig Pot it allows me to use me creativity. I just grab an old 4x4 post ( bug eaten or not. gate post decayed or not , fire wood or any FOG wood that will work. One suggestion that looked good to me, is to make the neck opening a little steeper than it is then add your artistic ring about an inch down. I even add burnt rings for appearance. But this is just a mere sugesstion, You are the Master. Thanks for sharing this with the world. KEEP ON TURNING
Today I finished painting the back door and trim with a paint that is supposed to be mold resistant, rot, fungus and mildew resistant, with primer included and one coat technology. However, it took three coats of the paint to get a nice complete white covering. Why do I have the feeling that I'll be painting the door and trim again in five or six years. Phil, if you would like, I'll send you the rest of this most wonderful and amazing paint I have for you to paint the weed vase a lovely white. Maybe if I shellac over the white paint on the door and trim?
Very nice piece Phil, may not be your typical turning but as for everything that gets turned at Shady Acres it is perfect. All the best to you. Regards Jim
Love the shape and grain colour Phil! I have a few pieces of walnut branches that I was looking for ideas to turn and that’s one for sure. I really like it! Cheers, Rick
I would say it is what we expect..it is perfect. Great finish and a great shape. Maybe easy to do but you deserve a break now and than after getting beat up by those half trees your turn at times. I think it looks great. Gary
This video has great lighting for showing why you need to wear a dust mask. The light really caught how much is produced. Beautiful vase even without the (weed). Turned very well for being dried for 4 years.
Phil you are so humble. This is such a cool piece. My wife loved it. Now she wants me to make her one or two I see the writing on the wall. Haha. Don’t get me wrong most of my bowls end up on her shelf.
Lovely Phil! And what a fine finish. I posted a photo of one of my weed pots on social media - and one of my friends thought it was for ... well you know what, I had to explain what it was for as you did, oh dear. Cheers 😁😁👍👍👍👍
I have to tell you, I had a huge giggle the first time you said 'weed pot'. It just tickled my funny bone when you said it because although I knew what you meant, it just kept making me think of it as a place a hippie would hide his 'weed' stash! Lololol It did turn out to be a very beautiful vase, the wood grain and colors really made it stand out. Its a beautiful piece of art! Thanks Phil!⚱️
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil this is certainly a different piece than your usual work. Well you did ask to us say what we think of it so hear goes. Absolutely brilliant I think one of your nicest pieces and it looked even better with the yellow flowers in. Well done Phil.
There's some lovely markings on that chestnut, couple of chestnut trees at my Mam's i'll ev to get a couple of branches trimmed back. Happy Easter and All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Well Phil, you have done yourself proud! A very lovely little vase. I really liked that ring on the neck,wish you had left it on..Maybe next time!! Greetings from Northern California [Bay Area] 04/06/23 3:22 am PDT
Very nice. I have 3 older chestnut trees but I think they are Chinese chestnut trees. I have cut a low laying branch and have turned some bud vases from them. So nice to work with, it turns very well. Your vase turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Haha, judging by the comments, Eddie, lots of people felt the same way! 😄
Howdy, Phil! Nice vase! And, guess what? There's backstory about that chestnut wood. (no, Dave, really?😮)
Where we used to live, there are several very old, gnarly, massive-- and well-known! --American chestnut trees growing close by. There are also a lot of industrious, hungry squirrels. One of the little characters buried a stash at the base of the neighbors' brick fireplace chimney. One of his nuts sprouted. By the time anyone noticed, it was big enough to start causing problems with the brickwork. They asked me to cut it down and had their yard guy dig out the root. The trunk was about 6" diameter.
It was a real pleasure watching you turn that lovely weed pot.
Great story, Dave! I love your backstories! I also love this Chestnut, thank you again, my friend! 😄
Thanks for sharing it with Phil. Chestnut is hard to come by these days. Even more so on this coast!
Very nice clean and pretty vase. Not everything you turn has to have a lot of bark on it. 😜 You might get to be a spindle turner yet! P.S. was just given a wood steady rest. Would offer to trade, but I know you won’t!

“Simple is elegant” is a phrase my mother in law uses when she talks about how women should dress.
The same holds true here, I think. Beautiful weed pot, Phil! Well done.
Thank you, Scott! And I agree with your mother in law! 😃
That's one beautiful weed pot. The colors are gorgeous. Yes the wood has a blue shade in it.
Yay! Thank you, Judith! 😄
Thank goodness you removed that rib from below the neck of the vase, so much more elegant in its final form.
Totally agree, Margaret! 😄

Looks great 👍
😄
That wood grain is beautiful as well as the piece. And here I thought it was some other kind of weed you was talking about 😂 lol I am only joking. Hope you have a Blessed Easter Phil.
😄
This is a nice vase. I was surprised how thin chestnut bark is. The finish is beautiful. It shows off the grain of the wood. This is a fun turning. I like it!
Thanks for the show
Joel
Thank you, Joel! 😄
Marvelous art Phil. Watched this without sound so as not wake anyone up. You would be surprised how pleasant seeing this peace evolve.
😄
Another beautiful turning with nice grain and lovely complimentary shape ❤
Thank you, Denise! 😄
Thank you Phil, I half expected the piece of wood to get the Anderson treatment, turned at 90 degrees to the grain and made into a natural edge winged bowl. You got me lol.
Haha, oh, I thought about it, John! 😄
Well I've never heard of a "weed pot". I do love the vase you turned. Beautiful wood. Have a great weekend. 🥰
Thank you, Mary! 😄
Very pretty vase Phil. Thanks for making it clean and simple. It's a pretty wood which I've never seen turned. We can thank that squirrel as well. 😉
Yeah, cool story about the squirrel! 😄
That is certainly a beautiful classic shape, from a lovely piece of wood. Also, most people I know keep their weed in baggies. The wooden vase is a very attractive alternative.
LOL! 😄
Love the weed pot. I have a Chinese friend that makes some of the most Beautiful silk flowers , butterflies and birds I have ever seen!
Turn a weed pot for them, Sam! 😄
Wish I could or maybe I could get you to make one!
That’s cool looking Phil, it’s beautiful.👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
❤❤Oh Sweet Lord Uncle Phil!!! That is truly beautiful🎉🎉 What a great job.. as usual. So good to see you on tonight. Please stay safe.. Ron & Patty

Lovely work as always!

I’m glad someone spoke up, cause I was wondering too.
Yep 😂 I went there also...lol 😆
LOL!

Thanks, Al! 😄
I love this little weed pot. The grain is beautiful.
It is, thanks, Jean! 😄
Great turning, Phil. Very pretty weed pot, buddy!
Happy turning,

Thank you, Gord! 😄
I was surprised. Did not expect it to turn out as pretty as it did.
I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😄
Morning Phil,
That is a lovely looking weed pot with a very interesting grain pattern on it.
I like the way you disguised the forstner bit dimple as well.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw

If you can't hide it, accentuate it! LOL! Good to see you this morning, Huw! 😄
Excellent job Phil!!! With that beautiful grain it didn't need an elaborate shape.
There ya go, Dana! 😄
Always a pleasure Phil beautiful vase. It turned a little colder here too. Keep them turning.😊
Dang, just when we thought it was Spring, George! 😄
The Chestnut wood and the finish looks really amazing. Interesting name of the piece "weed pot" . Well enjoy it....LOL

I appreciate that, Ray! 😄

Yes! 😄

Lovely weed pot and it will look great filled with some nice flowers, well done and thanks!

It does, Al, thanks! 😄

Many thanks, John! 😄
Very nice Phil, never heard the term before. I think it would mean something quite different in the UK haha.
😂😂😂 It means something different here in the US 🇺🇸 too...lol 😆 Psst, but don't tell Phil 😮😂😊
Here too judging by some of the comments! 😄

Great Piece, Phil! Your spindle turnings are fun to watch!
Glad you like them! 😄
Very nice. I have 3 older chestnut trees but I think they are Chinese chestnut trees. I have cut a low laying branch and have turned some bud vases from them. So nice to work with, it turns very well. Your vase turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Duane! 😄
