Thank you so much, Dinah! 😊

Thank you! Hang in there, this too shall pass! 😀

Maybe just more curious? 😀

Thank you so much, Bobby! 😀

Yes, it's removable but really heavy. I really don't think it would have helped. The problem was that big lip coming around and hitting whatever chisel I was using. 😀

Cool, thanks, Michael! 😀

I have turned a piece of Koa. 😀 Two, actually, but the second one was a cutoff from the first one. Here are the videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2KXiWidrKqLj5o and the cutoff piece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYm1iqurqcmBatk I have a friend that lives up north from here but he has a place in Hawaii, too. He sent this to me.

Glad you like it, thank you! 😀

Haha, thank you, Colleen! I always wonder, myself! 😀

😀

You got this! 😀

I appreciate that, Michael! 😀

Thanks👍Kimsey! Valerie says it is Pecan. A first for me! 😀

😀

Never found out any other info, Martin. Scary stuff! 😀

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop wow that is really scary indeed. Must be some kind of element may be in the resin that was in that wood because it looked really evident it was there. I’m glad you kept hold of the peace anyway and didn’t get rid of it, but keep away from it obviously that goes without saying.. it would be good to get to the bottom of it seeing as it made you feel so bad. I know that some wood can give off toxins in their sawdust which I heard somebody mentioned before but I really do think that it was something in the resin within that wood😭. I’m really glad you’re okay though my friend. I really do look forward to your videos as I think they are so educational :-)

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve, thanks! 😀

Thanks, Wally! 😀

A very pleasant surprise for me, Sarah. I'm glad you like it, too, thank you! 😀

So true! 😀

Thanks for the visit 😀

Not silly at all! You'd have to read through the comments, I can't remember if anyone mentioned Locust or not, Harold. 😀

Thank you very much! 😀 It's a great hobby and I started when I retired, too!

It's often a consideration, Mike. 😀

Yeah, I do have one of those hollowers, Kevin. The problem was the wing coming around. Not sure anything would have worked. 😀

Haha, the cleaning is done and yeah, it was a two-day chore! Then, all looking good, the wind came last night and now the ground is covered again with little red things that fall from the Fir trees! Oh, well! 😀

😀

It's getting there in a hurry, Bill! I guess I've had some tough pieces lately. I think I've take 2" off of it! 😀

Thank you so much 😀

😀

Nope 😀

I do just that, Dana, I lift it. I'm 76 and each year it gets more and more difficult but so far, still doable. I do find that if you keep the column clean and lubricated, it makes the job much easier. 😀

Very familiar with it. For me, it makes the wood feel like plastic and that's just not the feel or look I'm after. But, yeah, it stabilizes it! 😀

Thanks for watching, Chris! 😀

Thank you very much! 😀

Thank you very much! 😀

Indeed! 😀
