- Woodturning on a new lathe! I take an off balance log and put this Powermatic 3520C through its paces. From a branchy crotch log to a beautiful and rustic centerpiece of a bowl.

I forgot to mention that Phil Anderson - Shady Acres Woodshop / @philandersonshadyacre... was also very helpful in my decision process regarding which lathe to purchase. Sorry for the oversight, Phil!
My new lathe is a Powermatic 3520C and I chose it because I had the opportunity to upgrade and I had no doubts about the brand. Between brand confidence and the features, such as electronic control, reverse capable, 2HP, 220v, 20 inch swing, shorter bed ways, much more heavy over all, a spindle lock that is hands free, and a great warrantee. More I’m sure, but that’s it in a nutshell. The one thing it doesn’t have that I really loved about the old Jet, is a pivoting head stock for easier outboard turning. With shorter bed ways, it really isn’t an issue.

This has got to be the kindest most humble youtuber on this platform i swear , definitely my all time favorite channels to watch , inspired to say the least
Thank you very much, Frankie! I appreciate that very much!
Wow!..that was fast!..delivered Monday..setup and a video on Friday. Beautiful christening of the new toy!..thanks for the shout out and yes.. you ABSOLUTELY deserve it.👍🏻👍🏻
lol, I couldn't stop myself! Had to get some hands on time. Thanks again for all the sage advice!
Semper Fi !! To paraphrase the Marine’s Creed; “This is my lathe. There are many like it but this one is mine. My lathe is nothing without me. I am nothing without my lathe........” 😁
Outstanding!
My son who is an active Duty United States Marine, bought me a lethe for Christmas 2019. I have tried to watch your channel every day. You have taught me a lot. Thank you for your service and teaching me all I know at this point. Keep up the good work. Semper FI.
Rod, you deserve all the praise and thanks we can give! You are a Veteran! And a Marine Veteran at that! We cannot thank you enough for your Service! Then, we see this warrior create these beautiful pieces of art in wood! And, of course, you have that great voice! Rod, to watch your channel is a gift of sight and sound! Thank you, and Semper Fi!
You're very kind, thank you, Ellen!
R Humphrey Rod, we are a military family. My dad fought WWII in the Army and then Army Air Corps as a T. Sgt. He was up for Warrant Officer when he chose to come home in December of 1945. My Father In Law was a 20 year Navy Chief. My husband was up for First Class when he left the SeaBees at the end of his hitch. My Brother In Law was a First Class in the Navy when he was mustered out because of ALS. The military didn’t want me. I could only sing and play the piano. I was a Music Ed and Music Performance Major! So, we salute all military Vets! Thank you!!
Congratulations on the new lathe. As for being blessed, we are all blessed even though none of us deserve it. Thankfully God does not give us what we deserve. He gives us His grace and mercy. Thank you for your service from an old army SSG. May God bless you as well.
Well said, brother. Thank you for that and for your service!
I love that when I click on wood turning videos the content creator is almost always nice and does an amazing job of explaining what they are doing or have done in the video. It's also amazing to see you supporting others within the community. It's so wholesome to see you and others like you sharing the love around.
Thank you so much! It is an amazing and supportive community! Thanks for being pat of it 😊
Congratulations on your new lathe. I hope it lasts for many years.
That wood grain is absolutely gorgeous. It's chaotic and mesmerizing.
Semper Fidelis Brother.
Thank you very much, Clyde! Semper Fi
I love watching your videos. Usually wood turning sounds are very abrasive, but not here. The way it sounds when you turn, your calm voice and how the wood shavings come at the camera, it's all very soothing.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
My husband and I love your videos! You have inspired us to give wood turning a try. Thank you for for being so gracious and sharing your craft.
at the moment it doesn’t seem to matter what i do my body resets me back to anxious and i have to consciously work to regain some calm, returning to the second half of this video, listening to your words and appreciating your art, keeping the bark and saw cut... and knowing that you are caring for yourself, getting the tools you need to work better... a calm has finally come over me... you wipe the work with denatured alcohol, you sand... the piece is slowly revealed.... this experience is a very positive one for me, watching you create and explain the process. it’s very enjoyable.creation is everything.
My friend, I'm very glad my videos are a source of calm for you. To me, that means I'm achieving that same feeling through my woodworking, and it's translating through the video. Thank you so much for telling me so. It's a very harsh world out there, with everyone going through their own set of circumstances... I've learned to remind myself of that, about the person I'm dealing with, talking to, driving behind, helping me at a store, etc... To be called a source of calm is a high compliment, and very much appreciated.
It touches my heart that you mentioned 2 of my favorite wood working/turners! The 3 of you really encourage the creative side of me!
Beautiful work! All of you.
I just subscribed to your group today. My Father was also a Marine. 4th Division wwii he survived several beaches and taught me a lot about life. I was not able to be a Marine because I am a little handicapped so I put in 29 years of civil service with the Fighting 55th US Airforce. Thanks for your service and dedication to wood working.
29 years of civil service is amazing, Charles! Thank you for that. Welcome to my channel!
Very beautiful bowl. Sny person who puts their own life on the line for our country deserves a million times more blessings than you already have. God bless.
Very kind of you to say. Thank you!
MR.Humphrey the wood burner look toasty and warm.Nice larhe this bowl as always you the finest wooden bowls .Its a joy to watch you take wood and turn it into such beautiful bowls.🤗🙏🙏❤❤
Thanks so much, Connie!
@@RHumphrey 🤗🙏🙏
Beautiful piece. Kim is a great person and wood turner. She has helped me out a lot in advice and watching her video. The same goes with you Rod, you have taught me a lot. The wood working community is full of get people.
Thank you very much! I couldn't agree more, what a great group of people.
Excellent! Warm crackling fire, new lathe, workshop retreat, exercising the mind, fine tuning the craft and the reward of a wonderful piece.
Every day is a gift.

Well said! Semper Fi!
Mr. Humphrey, those chainsaw cuts are a perfect addition to this bowl. Your vision is spot on! Keep doing what you do. By the way, that sure is a pretty new lathe you got there. I hope it gives you years and years of shavings and happiness. Thank you for all you share with us.
Much appreciated!
Such a beautiful bowl!! I love that you left pieces of the bark on it and left the sides as imperfect. Very well done!!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful! I love the story this bowl tells- like it popped from the log with just a little coaxing to show off its colors and patterns. Lovely as always.
Thanks so much!
Wonderful to watch someone enjoy creating something beautiful. Beautiful lathe, enjoy it in the best of health we all expect lots of new videos using it. Blessings.
Oh trust me, you deserve it! Beautiful bowl and good to see you back. I'm happy for you.
Thank you very much!
I love watching your videos. I work nights. It gets quite repetitive, though I have started watching your wood turning on my breaks. I wish I had a garden to put a shed in. My dad has a lathe but I've nowhere to put it, and I doubt my lovely wife will let me have our small conservatory! 🤔😄
Amazing work!!
I like the combination of rustic and smooth finish. I'd fill that bowl full of pine cones and acorns and wild flowers then set it in the middle of my dinning room table where everyone coming into my house could see and admire. It lovely. Good work.
Thank you, Betty! That would look beautiful!
just love your work - fascinated by the process, i am in textiles. i have been crocheting for 50 yrs. i currently am making afghans for children and give them to Clothes For Kids in Denver. I LOVE IT.
I really like your treatment of this piece, Rod. From the bark and semi-natural edge to the chainsaw marks and the beautiful finish, it's a winner! I know you've been out in the shop just caressing that new lathe. Who can blame you? All around great video!
Phil
My apologies Phil, I sure meant to mention your help as well. I've added you to my video description. Yes... I may have slept next to my new lathe this past week... lol Thank you very much!
Great to see the new lathe and a new project. The grain on wood always amazes me, with the many asymmetries and colors. Very nice piece you made, and the chain saw marks are just a reminder of the TLC you put into your work. Thank you for the peek at other people's work!
Thank you very much!
Yes the kindest and humblest youtuber and moreover a talented woodturner
Thank you Emy, I appreciate that very much!
Beautiful bowl, Rod. The grain is spectacular. There's nothing wrong with leaving the chainsaw marks. They're part of the wood's history. Phil Anderson does it a lot. Also, you deserve everything good that comes your way.
Thank you William. Phil Anderson is GREAT! And, I failed to mention that he also helped me quite a bit with my lathe decision.
He's a Marine. That's why he's so good. He lives up to the motto...Semper Fi.
That bowl is amazing. Thank you sir for sharing your talent.
Thank you, I appreciate that! Semper Fi
That's so beautiful! I think it's very nice that you always show what other people are doing.
Love this so much!! The different lumps, bumps and lines really make it!!
Congratulations on your new lathe!!
Thanks so much!
Rod, Awesome video, lathe, & bowl. I always enjoy watching your videos, thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
Beautiful....really love the both polished and raw look of it.
I got a new lathe last summer and I'm still thrilled every time I walk out to the shop and see it. Congrats on the acquisition and on the gorgeous first turning!
That's great!! I know just how you feel! Thank you
You make wonderful pieces. Always enjoy your videos. The flat edge with saw marks add some great character, it is a story about where the bowl starts.
The new lathe looks great. The bowl looks even better. Good to see you back. Thanks as always for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Sir! You do great work. Thanks for teaching.
I wasn’t expecting a piece this rustically beautiful out of that piece of wood. Love the grain and spalting and the bark on the bottom is outstanding.
Thank you very much!
Beautifully done sir! Love the new lathe also. congrats!
Just simply another beautiful piece. I really love your videos. Semper Fi sir.
Oooh look at you with a nice new lathe. Great looking bowl ,always amazing always gracious. 👍
Ya finally pulled the trigger! Congrats on the new lathe - major heavy puppy! Really nice grain inside the bowl. The only kind of people who wonder if they "deserve" it are those who absolutely do. It's the ones who think they are entitled who don't deserve. You? Top of the list Rod. Enjoy.
Thank you Tom, I appreciate that!
Magnificent job! Well done, sir. Congrats on the knew lathe. Thank you for continuing to put out wonderful pieces!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work Rod. You are a true craftsman. We are all deserving of good people in our lives. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep up the great work!

It's always fun to get a new machine or tool. Beautiful bowel!
I like the way you thank everyone, not missing anyone. The way you thank people is very warm and genuine.
Thank you, Raz!
Semper Fi! Love watching you work. I wish I had the spacefora lathe, but I live in military Quarters and have no garage or other space fora large shop. I do what I can with a small storage room. Thanks for your service from an old retired army engineer.
Thanks for your service as well! Consider a mini lathe, they're very small and you can still make a wide assortment of beautiful things...
Mr. Humphrey, I just started watching your wood turning videos. Your work is so beautiful and amazing. Abundant blessings to you and your family.
Welcome, and thank you very much!
