You continue to be an inspiration Phil. Another delight.
Terry down under
Thank you, Terry! 😊
Phil i sit here in Sydney Australia till nearly midnight watching your videos.. You are such an awesome turner and I talk to you as I watch .. Shady Acres Workshop is my favorite channel you inspire me to try new things .. You have such a modest demeaner and I don't think you realize just how good you are my friend .. Cheers from Glenn P.S. We are in our 3rd week of lockdown from this bloody Covid virus...
Such a very kind comment, Glenn, thank you! I'm so glad you are tying new things! Sorry about the lockdown. We are fully open, here, for about the past week. Let's hope it stays that way.
Thank you Phil. That is a good looking piece. God Bless and stay safe.
😊
Another excellent informative Phil show
Thank you, Tom! 😊
We have an abundance of oak where I live and some of it is as hard as iron. Thanks for sharing 👍
You bet 😊
Wonderful Phil, that bowl looks Great.
Thank you kindly, Rob! 😊
Very Interesting way of turning...I love the smell of Oak...This project was an excellent choice and very well executed..I feel as I could do it after watching...I like that you stop a lot & let us all catch up with your progress and concerns...Phil you are not just offering another wood turning video but a small adventure into the unknown, unexplored...This being your first time on this technique....GREAT!!!!!...Another One YES, WITH BUG HOLES...ha....Thank You Phil...tm
Lots of bug holes in the offing, I'm sure, Tuffy! So glad you enjoyed this one. Thank you for always being there for me!
Phil you skillfully worked that through with nice results. Great bowl!
😊
Saw a similar piece of laminated plywood turned by another TH-camr. Had to be solid lumber core plywood, as there wew no voids and nice grain patterns to finished project. He began by sanding two opposite corners flat, measuring the midpoint of each side of each flat and then drawing lines from each midpoint to opposite corner of flattened triangle. The three lines crossed in the center, and he didn't have to worry about losing friction.to locare the center of the base, remove the small stub and construct it geometrically. Swing a compass from opposite sides with legs set greater than radius. Draw a line through the two intersections of the arcs and your center lies on that line. Do it again and intersection of the two straight lines is your center.
I would get dizzy if I had to go through all that just to turn a piece of wood, Pete! 😊
Phil, I would never giggle at you because you turn out some beautiful pieces. I am glad I found your channel. Thanks for showing me this 3 corner bowl.
Thanks and welcome, Pop! I'm very glad you are enjoying the videos!
Phil
That's a cool idea, a couple times from my prospective here on the sofa, I had to blink my brain to make sure I saw what I was seeing. I thought the grain would give you more trouble. Good example of knowing what your tools can do for you, like a surgeon. Good job Dr. Phil.
I'm right there with you, FJ40. To me, it's kind of magical the way it happens. I've done a couple of these and will probably do another, they are fun! 😊
What a great project, as always your gouge work is brilliant Phil. I have some white oak (reclaimed from a neighbours 60 year old workbench that was falling apart), I may have to give it a go.
Just an idea, as you didn't have anything in your tail stock when you cut the tenon, you could have used a long boring drill to put a small hole through the tail and give you a centre point.
Ah, you mean think ahead, Jay? LOL! Thank you! 😊
Greetings from Devon England - newbie wood turner love the shape and form of this bowl reminds me of a sailors hat....
Howdy, proskipper1! I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Thank you Phil always enjoy your videos cos’ you take care to talk us through in detail what you’re planning, doing, & how. Perfect. Jan
So nice of you, Jan, thank you! 😊
Great job phil👍
Thank you, Mike!
This is the only video I have ever watched that had me on the edge like the time I caught a 37lb Flathead catfish on an ultralight rod with 6lb test while standing on a powerplant discharge. In other words my heart was racing from all the variables that could of just ruined this piece in the blink of an eye. I also had White oak piece blow up on me. This was educational and exciting. Thank you.
Sounds like you are familiar with terror, Matt! LOL! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I am very familiar with terror. You know those types that are blessed with good luck? I'm the polar opposite of that. I had my legs crushed in a industrial accident and have been disabled since I was 33 and I am 48 now. I spend a lot of time with my lathe. I like art forms that are unforgiving and difficult. I do Scrimshaw, draw with ink, wood carving, antler carving, stone carving and really enjoy my lathe. I enjoyed tattooing for 9 years but it's a very ugly work environment and just feel better making bowls. I like projects that take deep concentration because it stops my PTSD in it's tracks. Your video really is an adventure. I'm happy it worked out for you.
Very very nice piece Phil thanks for another great video, I'm definitely going to give it ago myself now
Have fun, Gary! These are interesting to make. I have a second tri corner bowl video that maybe be easier to follow.
I have viewed the video and thought it was a very beautiful piece , I am inspired by a lot of your work mate ( can I call you mate?) Hehehe, I will be following you for ever
To me, you look like a good fellow who has a lot to offer folks about wood turning. Keep making those videos!!!
I like to think this is all true, Glasscutr. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Phil
That's a great piece of work
Challenging but fun, Gregg, thanks! 😊
I agree with you Phil, it did turn out really, really well. Sure, it may well have been your first attempt at a 'Tri Corner Bowl but I would have been prepared to put a heavy wager on it being an outstanding result such is the skill & mastery of your craft over a long time. By the ay, I would have won my wager but seriously, A lovely piece of workmanship Phil & very worthy of you. Love the finish you achieved and you didn't even do the 'glue up'. Outstanding mate, keep up the good work. Regards, Don.
You are so kind, Don, thank you!
Howdy Grand nagus love your work im just showing my friend who also is into wood things he will be following you also .
Very cool, thanks so much! 😊
Another awesome job.
I appreciate that, Barry, thank you!
It certainly is a beautiful piece Phil.
So glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Took a tip way back.. Very cool man. Its on my to-do list
Right on, Steve! A challenge but fun at the same time. 😊
Great job.Love watching you turn.Never disappointed. Like going bgg to turners school.Shame high school was lie this would have never missed a day.Thank you.
Thanks for watching! 😊
probably the scariest looking start to a turn i have ever seen. great video thanks for sharing.
Oak is one of the woods I have turned dry and green can hold some surprises grain wise, well done Phil wish I could send you some Welsh Oak to turn.
Ohhh, Welsh Oak sounds delish, Lewis! 😊
That turned out great very unique piece!!! Looks like red oak and if it gets wet it will turn black in that wet spot exactly why I'm not sure I've seen it in red oak that I've brought for my cabinet shop and you can't get it out it's like an oxidization thing especially if iron fillings get on it !
Exactly, Jon! 😊
That’s terrific Phil, I was riding along with you all the way on this one! I’ll give it a try when I get a suitable piece of wood and a bit more ticker.
I've been wanting to try this for quite awhile, Tim, but couldn't come up with a piece that size. Then I noticed it sitting on the shelf! LOL! A lot of fun, I wish you the best on yours. Phil
Good speed instruction and tool description.
Glad it was helpful, Jim! 😊
Good looking bowl
Fun to turn, too, Bobby! 😊
Phil, that is a very nice bowl, you did a fantastic job. I am new to turning, just getting my lathe set up, I have enjoyed your work, you make it look so easy. Thanks
Thank you very much, Joseph! I'm sure you will enjoy your new hobby, I sure do.
Phil
Beautiful!!! ♥️😊
Thank you!! 😊
Fantastic Phil just fantastic, for a guy who has never done this before, this bowl is magnificent.
This was really fun, Kobie. I should make another. Thank you!
Phil
Hi Phil,
Outstanding job and a beautiful bowl!
We have a lot of Red Oak in CT and I found that if it's not dries carefully it WILL crack.
I made a small 3" lidded box last year.I set it on my bench to dry out and about 3 days later I heard a pop.I went to the bench but didn't see that anything had fallen so I just quit looking.About a week later I checked the box and found that it didn't only crack,,,it separated down one side about 1/8" and eventually it opened up to almost 1/4"!!! I keep it as reminder on how to deal with green Oak!
Thanks for the video,,,
Tom
Oh, man, Tom, I hate when that happens! Especially with the time invested in a lid and all. So far I haven't experienced any of that but I suppose it's coming my way!
It is beautiful. Good job, Phil, indeed!
Thank you!
That's awesome 👍
Thanks, Robert! 😀
Super nice Phil. Beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍
So glad you like it, Jack! It's a favorite of mine as well.
Phil
A really elegant design. Looks simple yet fairly complicated to do. I watched Mike Waldt's first, the design challenged me & then you popped up. Nearly failed at the first hurdle, though, and that was getting the centre point out of the live centre! So this will be the next project but one. Interesting to see your earlier work/earlier vids. It's like anything that challenges you you'll do. Good on ya, buddy, stuff the comfort zone.
Thank you very much, Ray! It's a very enjoyable experience. Have fun with yours!
Beautiful job, Phil. Your "first time turning" adventures always turn out better than mine but making mistakes is where I really learn. I've glued a four-inch, cherry cube for turning my first, three cornered bowl. We are expecting a ground blizzard tomorrow so I plan to be making chips. Happy New Year to you! Pray for Spring.
You can do it! Have fun with it, Paul! 😊
I watched the video of the black acacia 3 cornered bowl and followed the link to this one, excellent work Phil.
Thank you so much! 😊
I have to try to make one! The target has been set. Very good commentary Phil. 👍👏👏🇿🇦
I hope you do, John. As long as you have a cube and do the setup with patience, the actual turning will go very well. It was one of my favorite turnings and I'd like to do another. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment!
Phil
Hi Phil, I sure love watching your videos and getting more inspired by them to try more different pieces. I’ve turned a few of your pieces in the last week and loved how they turned out. I’m only a beginner but learning a lot even though I had my small mastercraft 37” lathe for the last 15/20 years lol. Keep the videos coming and I’ll sure be watching for more inspiration to keep turning. All the way from trouty a small community in Newfoundland, Canada. 😊👍
Todd, thanks for watching all the way from Newfoundland! 😊
Phil... the hurricane as passed fairly peacefully and we're getting back to normal. Your wood is still here, didn't blow away. I'll try to get it to the shipper this week.
Thank you, David. There is no hurry, just glad you didn't suffer any consequences of the weather!
Phil
I wish my "first attempts" turned out as well as this. Well done for presenting a very clear, concise and measured video. You have just got another subscriber.
I'm so glad you like it, TheStanford01. Thank you for your subscription! I will try to be worthy.
Phil
Phil, I'm a new sub, and I am very happy to have come accrossed your channel. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you turn this three pointed vessel, and I also enjoyed the narration of it. It was very imformative and helpful, with you mentioning the speed and type of tools you were using. I will be watching for more new videos from you, and I will also be checking out your previous releases.
Wow, thank you, Len, for a real "pick me up" comment! And thank you so much for taking your time to watch and subscribe, very much appreciated!
Nice job Phil. Careful with White Oak, it can be a real pain to prevent tear out. Stay safe
Thank you, Paul! I have no doubt you are right about the tear out.
Great job! I’d love to get the finish quality on such hard wood. I turn white oak and it’s so hard I get dust instead of shavings even when I switch to a carbide cutter. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you, Michael! 😊
Great job Phil, definitely one for me to add to the “must try” list.
Regards from the UK
Geof
Thank you, Geof! I'm sure you will enjoy the challenge.
geofo60 Geof Harris grate job Phil enjoy watching you turn
Thank you, Jim, that makes me very happy!
Beautifully done.
Thank you, Grandpa, it was a lot of fun!
Outstanding in all respects. Thank you for sharing.
One of my favorites, Gerald! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
that's fantastic... It's Halloween tonite and I wanted to see all those ghosts again, I watched it earlier in the year. good Work Phil!!!
Hahahaha! Don, you are funny! Thank you!
Phil
Morning from Liverpool in England!
Phil, that is very inspirational,makes me want to try one. Great job!
Thank you, James! I really recommend giving this a try. I remember a feeling of invigoration before, during and after this turning. More fun than difficult as long as you take your time.
Phil
Nice Job!!! I have been trying to turn a glue up with Hack Berry wood that is about the same dimensions as yours. I am now on my second blank since one piece of wood broke off while turning and CA glue would not hold it. But, as they say, practice make perfect! Thanks for the informative video.
nice one phil, definately worth the effort you put into it
One of my favorites, Ron, thank you so much!
Phil
Fantastic job, well worth all the effort
Thank you, Andy! It's certainly one of my favorites.
Phil
Very nice bowl...love the 3 corners!
I'm glad you like it, Carol! It was a challenge but now is one of my favorites!
Love it.
Me too, Skeeter, thank you!
Great video inspired me to do one, been fun and challenging...
Yes, Glenn, it's both of those things. Worth it, too! Thank you!
Phil
love the video. I can't wait to do one of these myself.
You will love the experience, Dale. This is one of my most rewarding turnings and it's still a favorite piece. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
Another great turn and some day with all the things i want to try in life I will try this too. 1st I’d seen this type of bowl was bob Hamilton. Sadly I think he is sick or passed as I haven’t seen a video for a few years.
This is one of my favorites, CG. It still seems like magic, the way it went from a cube to three corners. I haven't seen Bob's video on this, I will look it up. Sadly, he did pass, I think 2-3 years ago.
Thank you, again, for taking your time to watch and comment!
Phil
That one is lovely. Worth all the time sanding. Wonder how it would turn out in ash.
Excellent
And fun! 😊
Great job! Looks really nice!
Thank you so much! It was a fun project and one I will probably try again.
Nice job. It looks great.
Thank you, George and thanks for watching and commenting!
Just finished watching this video. Love it❤. Makes me want to give it a try. Like that you included the finishing at the bench. What are your thoughts on burning in your signature. You may have covered this in a video I have not gotten to yet so forgive me or this might make a good topic for a video. Oh well one other question in dealing with the tear out in this oak would a scraper be an alternative to consider. That’s a lot of comment from me don’t know if it’s because I am doing more turning now and have developed questions or just that I am real ignorant in general. Any way really like this piece and plan to try one in red cedar.may be a mistake to use such a soft wood. I still would like to send you some wood to play with if you don’t have tooooo much already. Need to find a way to get a mailing address without hackers and spammers spoiling things. If you can point me in the right direction I will try again. Dan
I just scrolled up to see if you watched the other one of these and I see you did. They are a lot of fun. Quite a challenge but fun nonetheless. You can see by the second video that there really is no need to be so precise, just have fun with it. I don't love using scrapers and for me, it doesn't seem to be wood type that is the problem. More so, it's the particular piece of wood you are dealing with at the moment. Sometimes scrapers work great, other times they do more damage (tearout) then they are worth. I try to shear scrape with my gouge and that works pretty well most of the time. I don't burn my signature but many folks do. I just find a pen easy to use.
As far as reaching me, there is only one way and that is to get my email address from my About tab: www.youtube.com/@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop/about It won't work from a phone unless you request the full site URL. A PC works great. I wish TH-cam would fix that. Thanks for watching, Dan! 😊
Boy, youre inspiring me to try this. Good job.
So glad to hear you may try this, Garth. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Just being careful around the corners was the toughest part. Slow and easy and you'll get it done. Thanks for your comment!
Phil
1.5k subscribers Phil! Congrats Sir!! I think I was about number 46. Keep up the good work you are as always a pleasure to watch
Thank you SO much, Andy! I do remember you were among the first and I sincerely appreciate you sticking with me. I'll do my best to make my turnings worth your time!
Here is how I handle the tail stock problem. Put a Jacobs chuck in tail stock, Then put a 1/2"oak dowel with a point on one end in Jacobs chuck. I use 24" long dowel and bring it up to the center and tighten to center of your bowl.
That is a great solution, Don, thank you!
I like Phil . Good job. 👍
Thank you so much, Kevin!
great video
Glad you enjoyed it, Ron, thank you!
I'm sorry, but I giggled. Great project and a really well-executed video.
I knew I could count on you, David! LOL! Thank you very much for taking your time to watch and comment!
This could be very dangerous and he is cautious, good lesson to watch.
😊
Great job - well done! Can you tell me please what pen you use for signing. Thanks in Advance.
Thanks, Ron! I use an Ultra Fine Point Sharpie and apply paste wax over the signature. 😊
Great job.
Thank you, Red!
Very interesting well done.
One of my favorites, Ron, thank you!
Phil
I can see why. I love it
Hi Phil, what gouge grind do you use mostly before switching to a swept back gouge when that is needed. I tried the 40/40 grind and went back to the Irish (David Ellsworth) grind. I have watched this tri bowl and your second one. I’m motivated to try this as well. I’m glad I learned about you a couple days ago.
60° bevel. These bowls are a challenge but also fun and rewarding. Have fun with yours! 😊
Nice piece😍🥰
I just watched another guy make that exact bowl with stacked plywood
😊
It's just beautiful, Just subscribed, hope to see from you more like this.
Thank you very much, Abid! This is a one of a kind, for me. It was an enjoyable experience and remains a favorite. I'm so glad you like it, too! Thank you for your subscription, I will try to be worthy.
Phil
I'm fascinated with your work. What make/model of lathe are you using? I'm looking at Wahuda. Great features and price point.Please advise, Mark
Thanks, Mark. I have a Jet 1840. I've never heard of Wahuda so no help, sorry. But, I love my Jet! 😊
that look hard but you are a good wood turned
Difficult but fun at the same time. Thank you, Delbert! 😊
Beautiful
Thank you so much, Irene in Liverpool!
I have not tried this project yet, but back early on, when you marked on the bed of the lathe with masking tape lining up the points for the correct placement, would it be possible to make another tape reference for the other set of points closer to the tailstock? Then using a parting tool, cut the wood on a line going between the tape marks into two bowls rather than just one doubling your bowls. You would have to locate centers on one side where it was cut off.
No, that wouldn't work, Lee. The outside of the bowl, the part below the three points, is where the other three points used to be. If you separated into two bowl, you would only have points, with nothing below them. I do like the way you think, though! Get every little bit out of each piece of wood. I'm like that, too! Thank you for your comment!
Phil
Do you have a gallery and sell your creations?
No I don't, Anita. I'd like to be able to sell them but I'm a one-man show and don't have time for packing and shipping.
Nice
Thanks 😊
Would it be easier to turn a regular bowl and saw it to final shape?
I have no idea but I doubt it. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
I don’t have a lathe, just thinking regular bowl should easier to turn and won’t need as much material, and then just need to divide the circle into 3, and put on the bandsaw with desired angle.
@@xyz9250 It would have to be a compound angle and it would be a son of a gun to try to hold a round bowl to make those cuts.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop that’s true. probably need a jig to hold the bowl, but the cut should straight among the three corners, just like they were from different planes of a cube.
Thanks so helpful
I'm really glad, Timothy! Give it a try, it's a very rewarding project.
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Wow just finished of the bowl now the finish.
@@timothyknight1715 Good for YOU, Timothy! Makes me proud!
I didn't tell you the type of wood I was turning,it was red cedar. Not only a great smell but even better color. There will be more of them to make and experament with. Thanks again. Wish I could send a picture of it.
@@timothyknight1715 Ohhh, Red Cedar is sooo pretty. Can you post a picture to just about anywhere, like Google Photos or wherever? Then provide the link. I'd love to see it!
Yeah, as you say good job, Phil. That looks brilliant and I would have no idea of how to have done that. Had I not seen you do it?. Oak is one of my favourite woods and you really have done this piece justice. Yet again, you have proved that you can make something absolutely beautiful out of a bit of scrap wood!!
Thank you, Martin! 😀
رائع
Any time I make a 3 cornered bowl and don't need emergency medical attention for damaged or sprained fingers I feel like I have won!
LOL! Good outlook, Lyle!
Phil
Awesome can't wait to try it !
This was a lot of fun, John! Very challenging to keep the corners intact but that just keeps it interesting!
madronawoodworks I bet it was I don't think I'm ready to do this one yet need more miles under my belt....lol
I only have a mini for now but thinking about selling my Harley to get a full sized one with atleast 2hp. I have been riding for 33 years and building my own bikes for 20 years and never had a bigger passion than my bikes until l started turning that's how much I love it ! Do you think jet is a good brand? That's who made my mini. Thanks again much respect. .....John
To be honest, John, I used to think Jet was crap. They actually started out in my hometown of Tacoma, WA. Of course everything was imported and that didn't sit well with a lot of us. But, I will say they have come a looong way and now I think Jet is as good or better than most any other large tool. My lathe is, of course, a Jet and I just could not be happier.
madronawoodworks THANK YOU just wanted to hear it from someone who has one . Keep up the good work!
TO JET : Send this man some free tools he sold me on your lathes !
Haha, wouldn't THAT be nice. I'm sure Jet is listening!
If you are thinking of selling your Harley for a new lathe, I think it's safe to say you have the bug. I can't blame you. There are sooo many things around here I should be doing but I just don't seem to be able to get away from turning! I suppose it's the instant gratification but whatever it is, I ain't gonna be quitting anytime soon and it sounds like you are in the same boat. Good luck with your choice of lathe, I know you'll make the right decision, John!
When you part off the point to make the tenon, leave a small second nub that is measured with your calipers to fit into the live center with the point removed. When you reverse it to part off the tenon, the nub slides into the live center and.... there you go. Should be pretty close.
I can see where that would work, Dan. Thank you for the great suggestion!
Hey Phil!
Next tri corner bowl, cut your tenon first on the top. That way you can flip it and turn the bottom, I leave the tail stock up till almost done. Then you can mark the center of the bottom tenon for future reference.
Amazing outcome. Skillful technique for a three sized bowl. Trace Amigos Salute!
Thank you so much 😀
Hi Phil, I watched your video and Gary’s (ThePapa1947) and decided I’d like to make one. I wasn’t sure I could hold the work in the lathe as you did and I was correct. So I removed the corners so I had flat surfaces for the drive and live centres. It worked out well and I now have a tri-corner bowl about 115mm corner to corner and 70mm high. I started with a piece of mahogany 93x93x94mm.
Fantastic! 😊
Hay Phil, going over some of your older stuff and love this piece, going to try one myself now, also the first time I've seen your face, face to name. Oh, and sorry I did giggle. 3 HOURS 😲😲😲
Oh, please do try one, Garry. This is a very rewarding turning. I don't know if you've seen the second one I did. It's more casual and proves you don't need to be quite so nit-picky about the set up if you don't want to. Have fun! 😊
Got a square block of cherry, I have had it about three or four years. One day I am going to have to try this. I have watched your video two or three times now.
It's a challenge but, as long as you get it straight in your head (I had a hard time with that) it's really not all that difficult. I hope you give it a try, it was fun to turn! 😊
I haven't read the comments, and you may have already figured it out, but i am not concerned about the edges, whether uneven from glue-up or from tear-out bc i use my lathe-mounted disc sander to sand the edges, rather than hand sand as you have suggested. It works fine for me so you may want to give it a try.
Yes, I suppose I could use my stationary belt sander to do that. Either method would not get rid of the major tear-out I had until I finally got a clean cut with the gouge, though.
