Up until a couple months ago I had never heard the word Mudlarker. I started watching U-Tube and discovered you. I have become obsessed with your videos. Thank you for making my days special. I have learned so much about your country’s history.🌎
Nice job on the bowl. I would say it is Teak. Often used on ships. As to cracks, one can fill them with resin and then turn the bowl. Peter Brown- ShopTime- (on TH-cam) has done some awesome bowls and such with resin filled cracks.
Oh my goodness the bowl is absolutely beautiful! Is there anything you can't do😊 you are a true craftsman with mad skills! I must say it doesn't hurt that you're handsome with charming dimples! I love your videos never a dull moment! Be safe and healthy 😷Take Care!
1908 was a special year for us Aussies. It was when our coat of arms was granted, as found by you. It was also the year our nations capital was chosen, where I live. I love watching what you find. If I ever get back I hope they grant mudlarking permits to tourists.
Gosh I love your show. You are funny and kind and respectful and so knowledgeable which is wonderful. Love you Si , keep these shows coming and cheers from Australia x
You really found a diamond in the rough a with your driftwood bowl, Si. I was amazed at the beautiful color and grain. Just think of all the valuable hardwood laying in that mud.
Great video, the bowl is brilliant, the pipe is fabulous. One of our Aussie soldiers stopping off in London before heading off to war. Gave me goosebumps ✌️
@@Sifinds are you selling your wooden bowl? I'd love to give it a new home here in Spain!!! Please let me be first on the list to buy!! Thanks Si, love your videos xxx Chez in Lliria, Spain xx
The bowel is truly fabulous! Watching the entire process of you developing it was, for me, captivating. Embellishing it with the brass nails makes it look medieval, which I love. But having the coins in it gave it a great finishing touch! That is an absolute jewel to have in your collection of artifacts from the Thames. And I'd like to add, demonstrating all of your great skills using different tools and materials to clean up and 're-cycle' or 'up-cycle' the items from the Thames, I think inspires many of us artists to take our creativity a step further. Love your videos Simon!
Ahhh, the balance point for a scale. Brilliant job creating the bowl. Sweet! The river had to be so cold giving that pipe a wash. Thanks Si. Always look forward to your post on Sunday.😁👍
Just getting caught up on all the mudlarking videos. True appreciation of you as a person, and and artist, a historian, and well, all around good guy. truly enjoy the videos of most all of the mudlarking community.
Wow, I've fallen in love with that bowl. Beautiful wood turned back to life and with that touch of the brass nails...beautiful design. I really love it, it wouldn't be the same if you had used brand new wood and nails. This one has magic, history and mistery
Simon, you have made a beautiful bowl. It is quite fun to watch the things you make and how you clean things up. I believe you are wicked smart and talented! Oh, I love your cT as well! See you next time 😊
Hi Si, the wood looks like Australian Jarrah, what a fabulous job you did making the bowl ❤️... love your videos found you via Nicola. Best wishes from an Aussie fan ☺️
Hi Simon ; the wood looks like Purple Heart used in ship building , check out “the Sampson boat company, Leo is rebuilding an old wooden boat the keel is of this wood !,
Simon, that bowl was absolutely spot on. Very nice work for an “amateur”. In the future you may think about epoxy resins to fill the cracks before you try the lathe. Thanks for the great vlog.....Steve
The wood could be jarrah or purpleheart. When you work any of those hard woods including oak and beech, wear a dust mask the dust is carcinogenic. Also cutting with the saw on the lathe like that could be very nasty if the blade snagged. Brass and copper ship's nail could make nice jewellery, get a plumber's Mapp torch and silver solder.
I have to say, that Victorian apothecary scales piece is incredible- How on earth did you figure that one out? And congrats on the wood-turning bowl! Not an easy skill to do that!
A lot of Jarrah was sent back to London to be used for street paving in the early 1800's. www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2015/01/10/the-time-when-londons-streets-were-paved-with-wood/
I thought the same until it was finished, I recon the grain to not close enough to be Red Gum. I've built furniture from old red gum fence posts. Perhaps it's Mahogany.
Great video Si. So that's where my pipe went 😁! What a beauty
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art Haha. Thanks. I’m allowed one aren’t I? 😉
It would be really cool to see some nail earrings or necklace pendants! Perhaps you would even find coffin nails on the Thames.
Lovely, I'm 57 & still enjoy a nice bowl or 2 :)
Soap dish and tooth brush holder 🤣🤣 literally spit my coffee
The handsaw in the lathe scared the crap out of me and I'm a carpenter! hahaha good job looked great!
Dan Farrow Cheers mate, I forgot about the crack, otherwise it would have been simple haha

Margaret Neese Hi Margaret! Thanks for the kind words! Glad your enjoying the vids. Luckily there’s lots to get through!

The bowl came out beautifully!!! Love the addition of the brass nails! And that pipe........WOW!🇨🇦🇬🇧💕
Carolyn S Thanks!
Nice job on the bowl. I would say it is Teak. Often used on ships.
As to cracks, one can fill them with resin and then turn the bowl.
Peter Brown- ShopTime- (on TH-cam) has done some awesome bowls and such with resin filled cracks.
Nick Zametti too, he’s uk based. Now a collab between the 2 of you would be good!
Even do a resin pour with the bits of teak is an interesting craft
Love all your finds 😯
That bowl is absolutely mind blowing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The bowl is lovely! The addition of the brass nails made it 'pop'. Really well done.
Oh my goodness the bowl is absolutely beautiful! Is there anything you can't do😊 you are a true craftsman with mad skills! I must say it doesn't hurt that you're handsome with charming dimples! I love your videos never a dull moment! Be safe and healthy 😷Take Care!
Ever notice how much like the circle of life each of Si-Finds videos is? For every find there is a reason. Turn, turn, turn.
You're so clever! That bowl is a beauty! You have bowled me over! 😜🇦🇺👍
The bowl is beautiful. Thank you,Si.
Beautiful job on the bowl!
Your bowl is beautiful Simon. Perfect for displaying your Thames treasures.
1908 was a special year for us Aussies. It was when our coat of arms was granted, as found by you. It was also the year our nations capital was chosen, where I live. I love watching what you find. If I ever get back I hope they grant mudlarking permits to tourists.
You are so talented, Si! I love the bowl you made!! And, thank you for taking plastics out of the Thames! Much love from Canada.
We need the same here in the 5 Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River here in Canada.
Gosh I love your show. You are funny and kind and respectful and so knowledgeable which is wonderful. Love you Si , keep these shows coming and cheers from Australia x
So craftsy! I love how creative you can be. Yesterday's trash becomes today's really cool treasure with both history and beauty.
WOOOW !!!!! Your bowl stopped my ❤ !!! 😍
That Aussie pipe is a stonker and the wee bowl you made from driftwood is awesome. Great video as per usual. Thanks.
Love the chunkiness of the bowl. The nails add the perfect touch. Great pipe find! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
You really found a diamond in the rough a with your driftwood bowl, Si. I was amazed at the beautiful color and grain. Just think of all the valuable hardwood laying in that mud.
I know! But it's bleedin' heavy, I leave it behind. I think I should start stocking up!
That bowl is a beaut...great idea for the nails 👏👏👏
Simon. Beautiful bowl 😱❤️❤️❤️
Great video, the bowl is brilliant, the pipe is fabulous. One of our Aussie soldiers stopping off in London before heading off to war. Gave me goosebumps ✌️
The object that looks like sugar tongs I believe is part of some apothecary scales. Thanks for another fascinating video.
Yes, I also thought it was a part of some scales.
it is a part of scales
Si, you definitely have talent. That is a beautiful bowl!!!
Very nice! The nails set it off! Love your videos! My name is Sherry from Ohio USA
Thanks Sherry! Glad to have ya watching!
Very nice wood working! Love the hunt and the pipe is exquisite. I’ll bet Nic will be green with envy over that beauty💖
Love Sunday afternoons when I get the si-finds notification ding 😃
Thanks Anna!
@@Sifinds are you selling your wooden bowl? I'd love to give it a new home here in Spain!!! Please let me be first on the list to buy!! Thanks Si, love your videos xxx Chez in Lliria, Spain xx
The bowl turned (no pun intended) out really nice. The nails added to the look wonderfully. Once again Si, you came out on top.
Thank you!
Absolutely lovely bowl!
It could be pink ivory wood from South Africa.
Si, your bowl turned out beautiful! You have a real artist's third eye!
Changarookitty Thanks!
That bowl is absolutely stunning! You are very creative Enjoyed the vid as always. Thanks Si 😀
I like your music. The third to last track, sounds like a Solomon beat. The last one too.. 😊💘
Oh and the bowl is beautiful too. 🎯
Those drilled bricks would be good test tube holders for flowers or cuttings
Maybe even a nice pencil or pen holder slash security system piece lol
What a great way to bring the natural beauty back to that weathered old piece of wood! Keep putting the oil to it! Happy Hunting!!
Simon, you are a true artisan, I would like to see more videos of your shop magic. Great video!
It's just a messy garage with bottles, bikes and tools - thanks for the compliment
Si. The bowl is a beautiful work of art. Well done. Maestro. Bravo
Wonderful hunt! The bowl that emerged from your driftwood is magnificent! Nic will be so envious of your pipe, great find.
Great finds, Si! Love your bowl!
I get so excited when you post a new video! The bowl turned out gorgeous!
Beautiful Si, thank you.☮️🇨🇦
Well done! That bowl is a beautiful piece of art.

brilliant creativity with the finds Sir.., good on your artistry!
Ahhh, the balance point for a scale. Brilliant job creating the bowl. Sweet! The river had to be so cold giving that pipe a wash. Thanks Si. Always look forward to your post on Sunday.😁👍
It was cold - but the buzz of a find means i don't feel it!
You are so talented. It is a beautiful bowl.
That shell is AAAWESOME ! What a beautiful piece of art... ( I'M GREEN with ENVY !!! ) ☺😀😛
Love all you’ve found and the bowl is to die for , very talented tfs xx
Wow! You are a very creative and funny guy. That bowl is spectacular…..again,wow!
Wonderful finds and wood-turning lesson! The wood looks like Cedar or Cypress. 🧐
What a beautiful bowl! I absolutely love wood turning! Totally absorbing, and you never quite know what will emerge from within the block of timber!
Love the bowl you turned. Your finds are grand as well!
Just getting caught up on all the mudlarking videos. True appreciation of you as a person, and and artist, a historian, and well, all around good guy. truly enjoy the videos of most all of the mudlarking community.
I'd say that's a piece of redgum from Australia you've got there mate.
I love that bowl. Brilliant. Well done.
Thanks for another great adventure, Simon. I thought your wooden bowl turned out very well. The Australian pipe bowl was an awesome find! cheers
very impressive bowl, Si - well done
Thank you for sharing. I really like how you decorated the bowl with the nails.
Wow, I've fallen in love with that bowl. Beautiful wood turned back to life and with that touch of the brass nails...beautiful design. I really love it, it wouldn't be the same if you had used brand new wood and nails. This one has magic, history and mistery
Maria Pilar Ruiz Ramos Thank you Maria!
You are even a woodturner :0 Oh my… That's a beautiful piece
Simon, you have made a beautiful bowl. It is quite fun to watch the things you make and how you clean things up. I believe you are wicked smart and talented! Oh, I love your cT as well! See you next time 😊
Your bowl is beautiful! It's so satisfying, watching something being repurposed/upcycled.
I love that you up-cycled a piece of discarded wood; and look how beautiful it ended up. Nicely done, Si!!
The nails would make nice small keychains, a charm for a neaklace or earrings.
Thanks for cheering up a freezing rain day in Southern Ontario.
Take a plank of wood & nail the tacks into a shape or words, like Si-Finds.
Si, your bowl is beautiful. Great job!!
I wonder if they used bag seals for the bag seals bag. :P
Nice to see the Aussie artefacts washing up on the shores too mate 😃
Could the wee pivot thing be part of a set of scales maybe?
What a great job you did on that bowl! A pipe a long way from home, and that glove button. Quite a day.
Hi Si, the wood looks like Australian Jarrah, what a fabulous job you did making the bowl ❤️... love your videos found you via Nicola. Best wishes from an Aussie fan ☺️
Miss Melly Vee hiya Melly doll!
Such a beautiful piece of wood... You did it justice and that pipe, a great find 👍💕
Hi Simon ; the wood looks like Purple Heart used in ship building , check out “the Sampson boat company, Leo is rebuilding an old wooden boat the keel is of this wood !,
It could also be Padauk or Jarrah which is pink/red in colour and was also used in shipbuilding.
Oh si....your bowl is beautiful...and the nail finish....awesome....
Simon, that bowl was absolutely spot on. Very nice work for an “amateur”. In the future you may think about epoxy resins to fill the cracks before you try the lathe. Thanks for the great vlog.....Steve
GOOD IDEA!
That bowl is beautiful look lovely on my coffee table keep safe x❤️🇬🇧
looks like purple heart wood, very expensive, favored in shipbuilding, vital parts of ships.
@TTLt106 Jarrah for sure.
I know it's an old video but had to click on it when I saw Australian pipe, what a beaut it is. Great work on the wooden bowl too
The wood could be jarrah or purpleheart.
When you work any of those hard woods including oak and beech, wear a dust mask the dust is carcinogenic. Also cutting with the saw on the lathe like that could be very nasty if the blade snagged.
Brass and copper ship's nail could make nice jewellery, get a plumber's Mapp torch and silver solder.
The wooden pump thing would make a lovely little wishing well for the garden, great video ty.
I have to say, that Victorian apothecary scales piece is incredible- How on earth did you figure that one out? And congrats on the wood-turning bowl! Not an easy skill to do that!
Thanks - dunno it just came to me, and luck with Google! ha
Yes Very interesting soap dish and toothbrush holder love that!!
Wood could be jarrah from over here in West Oz, I believe it was sent back because it was such a good hardwood
A lot of Jarrah was sent back to London to be used for street paving in the early 1800's.
www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2015/01/10/the-time-when-londons-streets-were-paved-with-wood/
Loved the bowl - it turned out beautiful - and the nails were a nice addition
Cedar wood is really red...but not sure how that wound up in the Thames
That bowl
💖🤗
Looks like red gum- eucalyptus
I thought the same until it was finished, I recon the grain to not close enough to be Red Gum. I've built furniture from old red gum fence posts.
Perhaps it's Mahogany.
Could be Jarrah,a west australian hardwood eucalypt,originally known as swan river mahogany.
WOW THAT ELEPHANT SHELL IS AMAZING
#WOOD IT LOOKS AND TURNS LIKE AUSTRALIAN JARRAH
Agree
The colour reminds me of purple heart, tough & durable hard wood often used in boat building in the UK .but can make you sick if you inhale the dust !
Thanks Polly, just read that it's termite-resistant - So that's a load off my mind 😉
si you can ' turn' your hand to anything................ sooooooooooooooooooooooooo clever xxxxx i'm a fan!!!!!!!!!!!
The last thing you found looks like hand scales.
Yes Rob! Cheers
That's got to be a rare pipe bowl ( Ozzies will love it ) and a delightful wood bowl Simon, well done!
Beautiful bowl. Great pipe. = Great Mudlark.
