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? 😉
WHAT A FIND, SO FAR FROM HOME, DIDN'T REALISE THERE WERE AUSSIE CLAY PIPES.
PROUD YOU HAVE A PART OF US WITH YOU SI.
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA 👋
Lovely, I'm 57 & still enjoy a nice bowl or 2 :)
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.
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
I'd say that's a piece of redgum from Australia you've got there mate.
The bowl is lovely! The addition of the brass nails made it 'pop'. Really well done.
“Soap dish and toothbrush holder!!!!” I love you Simon!!! LMAO!!! ❤️😘😂😂 The bowl you made is just awesome!!! So creative and talented!!
Artist 61 hehe. 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
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!
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.
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. 🎯
Absolutely lovely bowl!
It could be pink ivory wood from South Africa.
That Aussie pipe is a stonker and the wee bowl you made from driftwood is awesome. Great video as per usual. Thanks.
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.
I love that you up-cycled a piece of discarded wood; and look how beautiful it ended up. Nicely done, Si!!
That bowl is absolutely stunning! You are very creative Enjoyed the vid as always. Thanks Si 😀
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
That is an absolutely beautiful example of repurposed history!
Thanks!
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.🌎
Margaret Neese Hi Margaret! Thanks for the kind words! Glad your enjoying the vids. Luckily there’s lots to get through!
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
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!
It would be really cool to see some nail earrings or necklace pendants! Perhaps you would even find coffin nails on the Thames.
So craftsy! I love how creative you can be. Yesterday's trash becomes today's really cool treasure with both history and 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
Thanks for cheering up a freezing rain day in Southern Ontario.
Amazing work. Nicola and you Si are are my Favorite Mudlarking Buddies.
The bowl is beautiful. Thank you,Si.
Your bowl is beautiful Simon. Perfect for displaying your Thames treasures.
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!
Thanks so much!!
The bowl came out beautifully!!! Love the addition of the brass nails! And that pipe........WOW!🇨🇦🇬🇧💕
Carolyn S Thanks!
Very nice! The nails set it off! Love your videos! My name is Sherry from Ohio USA
Thanks Sherry! Glad to have ya watching!
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
Soap dish and tooth brush holder 🤣🤣 literally spit my coffee
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.
Thanks for another great adventure, Simon. I thought your wooden bowl turned out very well. The Australian pipe bowl was an awesome find! cheers
Take a plank of wood & nail the tacks into a shape or words, like Si-Finds.
Simon the bowl is great! Keep this kind of work going! Saving and repurposing the wood and goodies form the Thames keeps them alive and moving further through history.
Si, your bowl turned out beautiful! You have a real artist's third eye!
Changarookitty Thanks!
Well done! That bowl is a beautiful piece of art.
Simon. Beautiful bowl 😱❤️❤️❤️
Big fan of your channel, always excited to watch when you up load a new video, Especially like the Video s with Nicola. You guys make a great entertaining team.
Love the chunkiness of the bowl. The nails add the perfect touch. Great pipe find! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
I get so excited when you post a new video! The bowl turned out gorgeous!
The nails would make nice small keychains, a charm for a neaklace or earrings.
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!
Si. The bowl is a beautiful work of art. Well done. Maestro. Bravo
Wonderful finds and wood-turning lesson! The wood looks like Cedar or Cypress. 🧐
Love all you’ve found and the bowl is to die for , very talented tfs xx
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
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!
Thank you for sharing. I really like how you decorated the bowl with the nails.
Love the bowl you turned. Your finds are grand as well!
That bowl
💖🤗
Si, you definitely have talent. That is a beautiful bowl!!!
You are so talented. It is a beautiful bowl.
brilliant creativity with the finds Sir.., good on your artistry!
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!
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!
Your bowl is beautiful! It's so satisfying, watching something being repurposed/upcycled.
You are even a woodturner :0 Oh my… That's a beautiful piece
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 ✌️
si you can ' turn' your hand to anything................ sooooooooooooooooooooooooo clever xxxxx i'm a fan!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
I wonder if they used bag seals for the bag seals bag. :P
Si my love. I live my life vicariously thru you and Nicola, I used to (a few years ago) feel like I was discovering the most amazing arrowheads here in Mid America, making great discoveries of the past. If I lived in London I think you would see me on the Thames my every waking moment, guess I would have floaties and a wet suit. I love the history, the restorations, the repurposing, the retrieving of trash. Personally in this day and era anything thrown into the river, religious or not should have to be biodegradable, I said that when I was in Girl Scouts back in the 70s here in the US. I am not a tree hugger but I am very conscience of resources around us.
I am still amazed that the citidiots (my word for city idiots) can come out here to the rural areas and deplete 40 to 50 acres of all the hard words, the "finance" it through the bank, chop down all the trees for profit, then let the loan go back to the bank. It is criminal to me. We have nearly no Walnut left, and Black Walnut is on its way out also but these trees also keep our air clean.... citidiots are not people I like lol.
But back to that purple/red wood. Is it Purpleheart? The characteristics of Purpleheart vary so much per region, I am wondering if you could narrow down its origin if it is Purpleheart because it is absolutely beautiful! Where were the men like you when I was younger?? lol Adore spending time watching you Bill and Nicola. It is the greatest way to spend a cold cloudy day, becoming the only way.... Thank you for sharing your talents and love with us, I don't feel sometimes like you are just a YT Star but you are a friend... one of the better ones I have lol you don't argue and go along with everything I say lol. Merry Christmas My Mud lover!!!
Beautiful job on the bowl,Si. You’re quite the artist.
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.
looks like purple heart wood, very expensive, favored in shipbuilding, vital parts of ships.
@TTLt106 Jarrah for sure.
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!!
WOW THAT ELEPHANT SHELL IS AMAZING
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.
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!
I marvel at the variety of creative endeavors you bring to each episode.
What you're accomplishing here, without the aid of a production crew, is very impressive.
Go, Mud Lover, go!
Thanks Lisa! Yes, one man band! with good friends too sometimes
Love all your finds 😯
That bowl is absolutely mind blowing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Could the wee pivot thing be part of a set of scales maybe?
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.

Thank you for picking out of the Thames the plastic...you are thoughtful and wise in how you handle your sense of responsibilities with permits and individual's religious rites...Simon, you are fun and very talented artist/crafty-upcycler...and you have a way along with Nichole in making mudlarking so cool.
Thank you!
Beautiful Si, thank you.☮️🇨🇦
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
Cedar wood is really red...but not sure how that wound up in the Thames
A piece of artwork with history from the Thames. ❤️
Cheryl Durham thanks 🙏🏻
Simon your bowl is absolutely beautiful!
#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 😉
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.
Woah! SI that sweet little bowl is a stunner! Well done for making it you talented fella x
Thanks!
Really good research on the bowl mate
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!
Simonthat wood could be a hardwood called Sepelie (if that’s how it’s spelt.
One of my favourite recent videos - loved the bowl. I am all for repurposing and giving things a new life.
Tracey Bradshaw Thanks! Me too!
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
I agree completely with Sharon Doan...your bowl is lovely and the perfect backdrop for those historic coins. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you!
The wooden pump thing would make a lovely little wishing well for the garden, great video ty.
WOOOW !!!!! Your bowl stopped my ❤ !!! 😍
Still making my way through your older videos. The bowl you made is absolutely beautiful. What wonderful treasures you found on this outing, the Australian classy pipe and the glove button were my favorites. I find the bag seals interesting.
Si, your bowl is beautiful. Great job!!
Beautiful bowl! I love the addition of the nails too.
Cheers Derin! 👍🏻🐾🧡
You're so clever! That bowl is a beauty! You have bowled me over! 😜🇦🇺👍
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!
