Sweet. Comment pinned!!
A Lebel case!
And just when I thought this channel couldn’t get any better, Si whips out a wood lathe and makes a gorgeous bowl out of a piece of old wood on the shore... And then adds shined up brass hand turned nails...I love it! Can’t say how much I look forward to the Sunday morning dose of history, creativity, and Simon’s all around good humor.
Aw thanks Marion 👍🏻🐾🧡
I am quite sure he did a bow before with the same wood... 🤔
Rosa Maria Gonçalves Must not have seen that one. Sorry.
Love it
@si-finds is even better in the flesh ladies 😉😉😉 with his wit and humour 🤣🤣🤣 xxx
Thumbs up for giving hens a new home and a better life..
Finally! Someone who brings a toothbrush to the foreshore!
You need to adopt Nelson, he would make a wonderful companion. That bowl is beautiful
I think that noise was from a ghostly Thames drunk sailor! 😂
Loved the bowl. It’s a beauty.
🦋
Me too. Lol
Nelson is a handsome kitty! Your rescue hens are living the posh life in your garden! Lucky girls!
Great seeing Cuffs! The ring he found was exceptional!
How you see those tiny finds like the seed beads and tiny garnets is a miracle! Wow!
Love your upcycle crafts! Especially the wood items ... the copper nails. Beautiful!
Thanks again for sharing!
I live in Australia and I know that Jarrah wood smells sensational! Loved the bowl and the added screws makes it look ancient. By the way, Nelson is so adorable!!!
So-finds, you are the sweetest, cutest, funniest young mudlarker I’ve found to watch. Love your honesty, when you drink from your bottles, how you investigate and report their value to us and just the commaraderie you share with your friends. Love watching you create new things out of your old finds, out in your back yard...accompanied by chickens and stray cats! You keep feeding NELSON those tasty bits and he’ll be a regular...a stray no longer! We do what we can to take care of all God’s creatures eh? Enjoy watching you and Nic, you and Matt, you and Steve, you and Chill Bill, you and just about anybody!!
That strange sound was either the wail of a banshee, or a flock of seagulls and I don't mean the 80's band. Nelson is handsome in his beautiful, black coat. You've fed him, now he's yours. With all of those chickens about, when can a girl get an invitation to quiche? Kidding, well, not really. What a talented man you'd be to have around the house. "Dear, I've broken a bowl." "Never mind, bring me my axe." Thanks for another inspirational video. Enjoyed as usual.
Haha. Thanks Connie! Gotta love a quiche! Mmm 😋
I heard a few vocals at that time..up and down melody.
I certainly did hear that strange noise @Si-finds maybe it’s the dead loved one that had the coin in the first place, happy that it has been found and is going to be loved because of the history, and now he/she can rest in peace eternally xxx
Excellent finds on the river, and such a nice stray kitty! That wood looks a lot like red mahogany, and the brass nails are perfect with it. My Dad taught me how to use the lathe years ago. I loved woodturning!
Wow loved seeing Cuff’s ring!!
Haunted Thames? Sounded like an eerie groan to me. The coins are awesome and in good condition Si and your bowl turned out beautiful! Gorgeous red/purple wood. Luv it. The best tho has to be Nelson! Pretty Kitty and the hens.
Haha I reckon 👻👻👻
Si-finds Thames Mudlark cool!
It's always great to watch Si when he's around the Thames and finds interesting old things in the mud and is creating so many pretty new things out of some of his finds💫☘️
Hello Si, thank you for the mudlarking video, you and Nicola are definitely at the top of my favorites.
Si, make sure you sign everything. Make a great note stating where found by date. These are now you're legacy! Love seeing Red, Red, Red and Red, Red and their other sister Red. Glad cat doesn't need chicken on his menu! Gotta run and see your beautiful bowl. Blessings
Cheers J! No that cat is super chilled 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love how the bowl turned out. The color is beautiful and the nails added an awesome touch. Just gorgeous!
Love the bowl. And the coins. Nelson is sweet. Thank you for caring for him.
Very impressed with your bowl Si! I was drooling when you polished it up! Fabulous work. Another great video! 😀
Thanks Lynne!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Gotta wonder how many will comment w/ hearts and love because of Nelson, LOL Nice hunt and great work! Thanks for sharing it all w/ us! Cheers from Maine
He’s cute
EB A I love Nelson! He’s the new mudlarking kitty!!!
That bowl .... Wow ! Stunning ! I did smile when you said Nelson is a stray . Nooo! He belongs to you ! Lucky you he is lovely 😊
1775 just about the time old George was being hassled by my ancestors.
I don't think I've heard a laughter nicer than yours, Si! Keep going.
Aw thanks x
Oh yes! I would be so happy just sitting on a rock and scraping to find stuff. It’s so incredibly satisfying! I’ve been waiting on a good sit and scrape! That strange noise was quit haunting! Exciting!! Gorgeous little bowl, your so talented Si!
Aw thanks sweetie
Loving the colour of that wooden bowl. I think Nelson has adopted you lol.
Nelson will be eating Whiskas from that bowl soon I reckon
Denise Meredith I hope Simon adopts him, which I think he’s already done 🥰 Nelson is a beaut
Haha right!?
Thank you again Simon for another great video. Thank you too for caring for Nelson. The world needs more people with a heart like yours. Your bowl is amazing and another wonderful piece of art. Looking forward to your next video. Have a great week and keep safe.
Thanks Diann! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That bowl turned out just as gorgeous as the first one. That wood is spectacular especially when you oil it.
Fascinating! watching you lovingly,masterfully craft that bowl from an old piece of reclaimed wood. I was in awe. Thank you for the history lessons as well Si.
Simon you have done it again what amazing finds and your talent as an artist is totally mind blowing, keep them coming my friend❤️🇨🇦
thumbs up Si for the history you bring to us AND love/kindness you show the animals, top guy.
The bowl turned out really well!
Congrats on that 👍
but my favorite find was the GIII coin from 1795, absolutely gorgeous! 😲
Thanks Si - good luck with the Hen funds
- love from Denmark 🌸 💕
Si the bowl is fab, great colour too. Aw the hens are just too cute...I'd love to adopt some ex battery hens, the poor little souls.
A very beautiful job creating that bowl.
And the video of London was nicely done. I really enjoyed seeing it.
Absolutely a beautiful bowl and the brass nail accents really compliment the wood. Great craftmanship!
Thanks Pam!
Hi Si. Love your work. I'm from Western Australia and I can tell you 100% that that wood for the bowl is Jarrah, pronounced 'ja' as in jacket and 'ra' as in the Egyptian sun god. One of the hardest and most durable woods on the planet. It's a true hardwood. It has a myriad of uses; railway sleepers, furniture, power poles, flooring, wharf piles and interestingly was exported all over the world and used for roads and footpaths in Britain, particularly in London in the 19th century. Still used today.
You have such a gift!! Such a beautiful bowl!! 🤘🎉
Morning Si and Cuffs it’s a beautiful time for a grand adventure! You always come up with wonderful ideas for a project. Very impressed by your bowl it’s a piece of art
Aw thanks Heidi! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The old wood made into a bowl was mesmerizing. Great video!
Thanks!!
Simon that bowl is gorgeous!! Well done!👍 Enjoyed the hunt, thanks again for taking us along!!😊 Take care & Stay safe!💜
Love the bowl! Maybe you could make key chains from found wood and an added nail head for your etsy shop! Well done as usual!
If time allows 👍🏻🐾🧡
Enjoyed watching you make that bowl🙂
Thanks pal!!
You made a beautiful bowl. Loved watching the process. You are so very gifted.
Another great video, nice coins. That bowl is gorgeous! Love the hens and its great that you are doing a benefit for them via the bowl auction. You truly are a renaissance man, so many different talents and so much knowledge on many different subjects. And Nelson is a very, very handsome kitty :) The bowl has gone beyond my budget already, its a beauty and worth it. I hope it sells for HUGE $$ for your charity :)
Thanks Annie 👍🏻🐾🧡
Beautiful project, Si! I always love seeing the things you create and really appreciate how you repurpose and save history! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks Kathi! 🐾🧡
Beautiful bowl Si! I love it, you have a great talent!♥️
Thanks! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Your channel is growing by leaps and bounds. The content is always entertaining and informative.
Cheers
Cheers dude!
I really enjoy your night larks. The tiny things in the mud are fascinating. Great finds, lovely coins. But the star of the show was Nelson. He obviously loves you Si. I think you should make it official and claim him as your own. You two make a great team. Would love to have the bowl. It’s just amazing that you took that discarded unwanted chunk of wood and turned (no pun intended) it into a work of art. Thanks for sharing all.
Aw thanks! Nelson is a free spirit maaan ☮️ ✌🏻 Lol
What a beautiful bowl!!!! Nielson is a smart beautiful cal with terrific taste!! Enjoy all your footage!!
Thanks Karen!
I love a man that loves his 🐓. That bowl is beautiful, you’re quite a craftsman. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Great finds Simon and that bowl is superb. Nelson has great taste!
Cheers Paddy! 👍🏻🐾🧡
We love the bowl you made, so cool! And yay for Nelson, what a handsome kitty 😊
Thanks Julie!!
Oh, what a lovely bowl, Si! What stories that wood and those nails could tell, could they only speak! I love Nelson, he's a gorgeous boy! Another awesome adventure!😊💖
Thanks Cynthia! 🐾🧡
You have a good heart Simon.
Thanks Denise 🐾👍🏻🧡
It's an awesome looking bowl, wow! So beautiful, plus the history of it all is amazing in itself, it only adds to its beauty. Great work Si.
Wow! That bowl turned out beautiful. I love seeing what many and different creations artists come up with. From one artists heart to another, your amazingly talented and should be so proud. Hi from Alabama, USA 😘
Aw thanks Lisa!
Thank you. I appreciate all of your videos. You have so many talents, and a pleasing personality too.
Thanks ! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The bowl is beautiful.. you gave it a new life
Thanks Trina 🐾🧡
So jealous of you guys over in England! Over here in America we never find anything so old since we’re a much younger country than y’all. Great finds!
Once again, Si, you have proven yourself to be the original Renaissance man we all knew you were! Great video and congratulations to you and Matt on your finds. Great wooden bowl and that kitty knows a sucker when he found one! Heehee....
Haha. Cheers Steve!!
What a beautifull cat like a little black panther and thankyou for the help chicks ❤
Nelson is cute, can we keep him? Can we can we?? 😍
Haha, alrighhhhht thennnnn
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
From very cool finds to a well-turned upcycle, a favorite Si-finds episode!
🐓
Haha. Cheers matey
Night larking was pretty cool! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that bowl!!! Nelson is a sweetie!!!
Nelson is wonderful! Black cats are the best cats! And that bowl was incredibly gorgeous! I loved the nail accents.
Great finds, as always!!! You did a realllly nice job turning that bowl! I'm cautiously thinking it's mahogany wood, with it's tight grain and color. Gorgeous!!!
I did hear that noise. It was Nelson complaining that you hadn’t taken him foraging with you !
Haha 👍🏻🐾🧡
Awesome finds, loving the coin and your bowl is fantastic. As an Aussie with Jarrah floorboards, I agree your bowl is made from that. Imagine the journey that wood went on.
Hi Kendi! Yes an amazing journey!
Beautifully executed! Love the addition of you nail finds
I have missed you and Nicola playing catch up. Love Nelson!! He's a handsome kitty
Great finds, love the bowl! Man of many talents.
Hi Simon, your bowl looks beautiful, could be Honduras Mahogany, with that rich reddy purple. Gorgeous. Oh , the stories these finds could tell! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks Frances! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great video Si! Love the bowl, you are good to donate to an animal charity. Nelson is beautiful! hope we see more of him x
Thanks A. Hopefully he will stick around
Another great adventure!!! It’s amazing to me that you can find coins that old ; being from the states that’s older than our country 🤔!!! Thanks for the hard work it looks easy on the tele , but I know it’s very hard work.... great job on the bowl 🌀
Thanks matey. Yes many hours squeezed into a few minutes 👍🏻🐾🧡
16:25 .A haunting trill. Interesting you hear it when you rub the Love token. A long lost love yearns to be found? Great video, Si!
Ooh yeah 👻
Wonderful coins and Beautiful bowl. Thanks Si.
Thanks Debbie! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Lovely bowl upcycle Si!
The bowl is up to £72 already. Hope it at the very least tripples. Great charity Si. Chickens are one of the most persecuted livestock animals worldwide, in my opinion. Also, I left a message on one of your older videos recently(ish) "Mudlarking and MUDbarking". Told a Thames story I think you would find funny and interesting. You probably didn't see it as it's an old vid. Great episode as per usual.
Hi. Thanks I’ll check it out! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That bowl is beautiful.... Nelson is very cute too!
Bravo bowl Si, real craftmanship!
I love the bowl you made. Beautiful 👍
This is among the groovyist larking videos I've seen. I can't get over that ring at the beginning, and great job on the bowl.
Beautiful bowl😍 and magic coin finds! Great vid as always😊 Thanks for sharing, love from South Aussie🏖️
My purple loving heart is loving the bowl! And my black cat loving heart is loving Nelson.....;)
😊😊😊
What a fantastic bowl’ you’re a real craftsman!
I love your videos 👍
Thanks Simon and Cuffs! Nice looking bowl. Nelsons a keeper.
Beautiful upcycle. More great finds. I must say that the ring that Cuffs found and shared is amazing. I suspect that besides being a mud lover you are also an animal lover. I have the female version of Nelson, my little Elvira, who I adopted from a feline rescue group. Looking forward to more luck in the muck⚓
Thanks Kelly. Yes I do love animals!
Awesome bowl! Love the cat, always enjoy watching your adventures! Makes my Sunday! Thank you
Cheers Tracey! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow that bowl is beautiful.
Nelson is your best find!.....And he makes a genuine Roman bowl! Beautiful!!! Nelson would like the bowl better filled with kibble! Lol
It looks like African mahogany , very nice.
I thought it also looked like purple heart wood. Whatever it is, it's absolutely beautiful!!!!! Tony.
Yep I heard the noise. It sounded like a Monk chanting/wailing when the love token was rubbed. The Monk had been in love with someone years ago and when you rubbed the love token the Monk was released from it's pain and hurt of a love unrequited... :-)
You old romantic 👍🏻
That 1775 half penny is worth some serious bucks. I can't believe it! What a stunner!
I'm wondering if the scratch is a planchet error ( where the coin is struck on a damaged planchet) that would make it unique and desirable to error coin collectors 💲💲
@@drunkdunc8738 sorry but no, it's post mint damage. It's still likely worth a few hundred dollars in its condition. If I found that here in the U.S. in that condition I would flip my lid. We get big coppers, but they're never found in that condition. Maybe gold and silver coins, but not coppers.
David Raful 👍Its a stunner, shame about the scratch then. but like you said it's way better than any coppers being found on US metal detecting and archaeology videos. Thames mud must be the secret, correct ph and lack of oxygen?
Cheers David! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Aww i love Nelson, such a sweetie just like you, Simon! Nice video, stay safe 💋❤
😄 When the girls came up, my first thought was the Dixie Chicks (well, I am from the southern U.S.). They are gorgeous ladies and Nelson's a looker, too.
I love Nelson, the blue bit of pottery (Nic would love it to). The whole gambit beautiful, keep going strong Si, waiting for the next mud lark.🇨🇦🐘😘
Thanks Marion 👍🏻🐾🧡
The Bowl is stunning..... Could be a coin collector box or an ship's ashtray...... Well done!
I'd like to suggest:
Use a metal detector on the wood before cutting or turning. It can find hidden nails. ( It can save hundreds of dollars if you are a sawyer.)
From the looks of it, your lathe tools seem like they could stand a good sharpening. They will then leave a much smoother and easier cut. A conical fine/ hollow gouge stone for lathe tools is quite inexpensive. Mine was under $10.00 USD.
Some different grades of sandpaper might also help, unless you were trying for the cruder, more primitive look. In a pinch, you can use (literally) pieces of sand stone! or make your own sandpaper with heavy paper as the backing, a light coat of glue and then coat liberally with different grits of sand. A prospecting classifier set really can help with that. Let it dry for a couple of days & you are ready to go.
I applaud your adopting Nelson The Cat and the Chicken Rescue charity.
If you haven't got a metal detector use a magnet it works just as well
He seems smarter than the average bear, like to have edited that entire craft down to a few minutes only putting in a few highlights. I dont think he's teaching nor claiming to be a professional woodworker. anyway, I agree with the idea that his crafts are less refined on purpose. He's very creative with all of his craft ideas and amusing. I think he puts more effort into the videos cuz theyre banging awesome.
@@theresabraddock9310 , yes I concur
That Beautiful piece wood was waiting just for you. Now youtube sends me all kinds of hand carving videos. You've created an heirloom piece, to my mind, young one. An all-around good Larkin' time. Stay safe🌞
Thanks Cynthia! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Terrific bowl. I especially like how the brass ships nail go with, what appears to be teak, the bowl. Awesome Si.
