A Very nice piece. Thank you for the time you spend doing these videos. I'm 68 and first watch woodturning while stationed in Thailand and Vietnam during the war.. Needless to say, they don't follow safety procedures there like we do in the west. Grew up on a small farm in East Tennesse near the Great Smokey Mountains, so there was a lot of wood available. The problem was my woodworking " Fun" was building barns, string barbed wire fences,,,building gates, sheds chicken brooder houses, and hog pens. Now that I'm retired, I intend to do some woodworking, not carpentry. All the youtube videos inspire me to do many things. Hope I live long enough to do a few. Thanks
I love your mushroom. The little knot in the middle looks like an eye. So cute. You do what you have to. Life and family always comes first. We will still be here waiting for you. Much love, take care and stay safe. I hope all goes well for you with the Covid vaccine. Blessed be Phil. ♥😺♥🤗♥
Thank you so much, Joalla! I got my first shot of vaccine easy-peasy. The second shot is proving a little more difficult to get. I'm fine and back in the shop! 😊
This piece is similar to what I do; you know, small boxes, little containers, etc. I'm really happy because your way of work and your thoughts are similar to mines. Is a confirmation that what I do, and the way that I do it, is right. Thank you Phil.
You say you don't know what you're talking about. I say keep on talking. It all makes sense to me. You're great and I hope all the issues are successfully taken care of.
Phil, that's one gorgeous mushroom. Why if I was a toad I'd proudly sit upon your mushroom and trill to my heart's content all night long. Take Care and God Bless !!!!!
That is an adorable mushroom! I love it. At the beginning, I was stressed that you were taking off all the bark, but as always, you know exactly what you're doing.
I like the thought process you add to your videos. It makes them a lot more valuable to me than some random 30 minutes of flying chips. Your willingness to tackle imperfect bits of wood and figure out how to get something out of them is invaluable and inspiring.
Looks plenty whimsical to me. I think this is my favorite piece I've seen you do. But then again I love The Hobbit and that's what it reminds me of. God bless, and thanks for the wonderful video.
Hi Phil... beautiful mushroom box... I really like the design... and all from someone who says that he doesn't like spindle work... take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank You Phil, Thank You Dan....Something different Phil. Really like that bark. I very much enjoy the way you politely talk us through your game plan. It makes me feel like I am part of your turning design instead of watching an authority instructor with strict hard rules for me to follow. So very refreshing you are Phil! I look forward to your next show whenever you are able to show it....Take Care Out There Phil......TM
You are very welcome, Tuffy! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and my lazy approach. LOL! I "might" have things under control, I plan on turning tomorrow, we'll see, but I sure could use a haircut!
Like others have said we will be here when you get back. It will tough going if you miss a week or two but we will survive. LOL I hope the Sumac doesn't start splitting. The bark on the Sumac is really pretty
it is a beautiful little treasure box. it looks very magical and alive. you can almost see and eye and a small nose peek out on the stem of the mushroom the way the knots are arranged. thank you for sharing. Understand about your wind problems we have those kinds of power outages too but never for 4 days. hope things get better soon.
Hey Phil awesome mushroom. Forr a guy that doesn't like spindle turning that was a great piece of turning. And don't worry we will all still be here eagerly awaiting your next video whenever that happens to be. Take care of yourself and your family. Andrew
Very cool! That X on top is really unique. I guess you never know just what will be revealed as you turn the wood. I used to help my dad in his work shop years ago. I have always loved the smell of wood. It now reminds me of my dad.
Yech! LOL! We all started at spindle turning and I enjoyed it, too. Now I can hardly make myself do it. Too much thought, too many tools, too much planning. Icky!
Nice ‘shroom! Make some more, bigger and smaller and then group them together on a split piece of log. A fungal display so to speak! You’re very creative Phil!
Beautiful mushroom Phil, I know all about when it rains it POURS... hope all will work out in the life happenings and yes we will miss you if you're not there next week... TWO weeks would be 😳... keep safe Phil... thanks for this week's adventure in the Shady Acres Woodshop
Wonderful video Phil. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You are informative and entertaining and you turn beautiful pieces. This mushroom box is very nicely done. The bark looks so good with the wood finish.
Nice mushroom Phil it’s really cute and don’t worry about the video sometimes you just have take things one at a time and if life gives you lemons then make lemonade. Take care and God Bless you Phil.
I really like that you talk during your videos. It’s so much better than the silent turning videos the other guys do.
Glad you enjoy it, Bennett! Not everyone does. I just like to think we are all standing around the lathe shooting the breeze. 😃

Thank you, Daniel! Enjoy your retirement, I sure am! 😊
Love the sound of the rain in the background. We live on the Olympic Peninsula and I enjoy working on a rainy day with the roll up door open.
Oh, yeah, lots of rain over there along with here! 😊

Good to know, Bernie, thank you!

It really is! Thank you, Amanda! 😊
Hi Phil... beautiful mushroom box... I really like the design... and all from someone who says that he doesn't like spindle work... take care...All the best.....Andy
You and your comment (I credited you in the description) are the reason I turned this, Andy! I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Dan....Something different Phil. Really like that bark. I very much enjoy the way you politely talk us through your game plan.

A delightful piece Phil! The "x" on the top is a surprise Mother Nature gift. This piece is functional and cute. 😊
😊
Thanks Phil...enjoy some time off...
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely Gorgeous Phil. As usual your mind and the wood are one. Beautiful piece.
Thank you so much, Carl! 😊
Like that one Phil
I'm glad, Craig, thanks!
Thank yoh. That was a fun one. Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it, Kathie, thank you! 😊
Totally NOT what you do but still super cool! I LOVE IT! Be safe and stay healthy my friend!
I'm glad you love it, David, thank you! It was kinda fun. 😊
Spindle turning? Skew? Are you sure this is the right channel? Excellent job as always. Looks fantastic. Take care and see you when the time is right.
Yeah, it was time for a change but only for a short while, Mark! I'm sure a bowl will be next! Thank you!
Work hard, play hard.
Good advice, Shane.
Family first love this one !
Thank you, H S! 😊
I’m saying you did a awesome job,love it ❤️👍
Thank you William! 😃
Like others have said we will be here when you get back. It will tough going if you miss a week or two but we will survive. LOL I hope the Sumac doesn't start splitting. The bark on the Sumac is really pretty
No sign of splits but the lid does fit a little looser, Don. Thank you, see you soon!
Very nice work 👏! Take care and GOD BLESS!
Thank you very much, Stephen! 😊

Thank you so much, Joyce! 😊
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you, Sheila! 😊
You always say you don't know what your doing, you know exactly what your doing !
I can get it done but it's a struggle. A different mindset than turning bowls, for sure! Thanks, Dave!
I love it.
I'm glad, thank you, J'Lyssa! 😊
Very nice 👍
Thank you!
Hey Phil awesome mushroom. Forr a guy that doesn't like spindle turning that was a great piece of turning. And don't worry we will all still be here eagerly awaiting your next video whenever that happens to be. Take care of yourself and your family.
Andrew
So kind of you, Andrew, thank you! 😊
You don't need to apologize for having a life, many don't. I am glad to hear you are too busy to keep up, thats what keeps us going. Bruce/🍄/🇨🇦
You're the best, Bruce, thank you! Actually, I've worked it all out and I'm back at it! 😊
Very cool! That X on top is really unique. I guess you never know just what will be revealed as you turn the wood. I used to help my dad in his work shop years ago. I have always loved the smell of wood. It now reminds me of my dad.
Great memories, Karen! 😊
Yay more spindle turning wish you liked doing it, I always enjoyed it found bowls harder to do.
Yech! LOL! We all started at spindle turning and I enjoyed it, too. Now I can hardly make myself do it. Too much thought, too many tools, too much planning. Icky!
Very original box! Good luck!
Thanks so much, Aleksey! 😊
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Edward!
it's beautiful.
Thank you, Daisy! 😊
I like it!! Mushrooms com in all shapes and sizes.
😊
Nice ‘shroom! Make some more, bigger and smaller and then group them together on a split piece of log. A fungal display so to speak! You’re very creative Phil!
Cool idea, Bob! Thank you!
I like it Phil
I'm glad, Stan, thank you!
One of my favorite things about watching you is that you design as you go which is how I do it. I like to find whatever is hiding inside the wood.
Cool, thanks, Jon! I definitely prefer that route over agonizing about how something should be and then try to do that. It seldom works for me.
Great! You nailed it.
Thanks, Skeeter!
Well done!
😊
Like always Phil..I love it..you take care of your self while getting that shot for flu
Thank you, Todd! One shot down, second one scheduled! 😊
Very nice spindle turning Phil. I've made lots of mushrooms but never thought of making one into a box. Brilliant. Take care of yourself.
Go for it, Jerry! Cute and handy, too! 😊
We will miss you and prayers for all that coming.
This was months ago, doing fine, now! 😊
It just showed up on my page. Lol. Sorry
Beautiful mushroom Phil, I know all about when it rains it POURS... hope all will work out in the life happenings and yes we will miss you if you're not there next week... TWO weeks would be 😳... keep safe Phil... thanks for this week's adventure in the Shady Acres Woodshop
