I have learned many helpful tips from your turning methods. I turn wood on a metal leath because that's all I have, and some of your methods have helped a great deal. Thank you! Bill Landon

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That is awesome! Thank you! 😊

[@joannejensen5987]

You do not know how many nights we have spent together, Phil. It has been a rough patch, health wise, and I didn’t sleep much. So, you kept me company as I watched you turn one wretched mess of a piece of wood into a unique and stunning thing. You dared where no man has gone before. Your ‘can do’ attitude sets an example to everyone who watches you. Especially those of us who have watched you over time as you risk and conquer time and again. Every single time, I think you have created a wonder. Until you create another one. Keep well, be safe. Your job is not finished here.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yours is not finished either, Joanne. Hang in there and get well soon. You mean a lot to us in this crowd! 😊

[@donaldberry7417]

Hello Phil. I started turning because of you. I am 74 years old and use a wood worm screw on most of my turnings. Like you sometimes, I have a tendency to get them too tight. I found a trick that works for me. If I can loosen the chuck, I take the turning and the wood worm screw off. I discovered that a 3/4" wrench will fit the flat parts of the screw. A long handled open end wrench really helps getting the s crew out. Give it a try. I hope it will helpyou too!

[@braddblk]

@@donaldberry7417 I've tried that as well and it works pretty good. Another thing I have is a strap wrench with an aluminum handle and a silicon strap. It doesn't mar the work and the extra leverage is welcome when I run into a stubborn one.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You can do it, James! Watching videos is how I learned to turn, too! 😊

[@warnerexelby7262]

The first bowl I ever turned in High school in 1952 was what we called Tennessee cedar. I still love the smell of that wood. My mother had that little red bowl above the fire place for the next 50 years.

Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, Ted! 😊

[@jamesmerkel1932]

I have to say I appreciate abilitybto capture the beauty of the wood you're working with. I'm fairly mechanically minded so symmetry and functionality are my kneejerk reaction to making things. Originally I looked at videos on creating symmetry with resin casting and such, but don't really have an interest in making resin myself. Watching your vids has helped ease the anxiety that the things I make don't have to be "perfect" or symmetrical. Sometimes it just needs to be beautiful, thanks!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Exactly, James! I'm so glad you can see and understand that. A lot of folks get caught up in the idea "it's a lathe, it makes things perfectly round" and when it doesn't, they get anxious. Although it might look confusing and messy to some, I find keeping the nature in the piece to be peaceful and graceful. 😊

[@marywright1057]

Phil, I was given a log about a year ago and it set outside on the grass. About 2 months ago I decided I needed to do something with it and cut it into thirds. It was very bug eaten and had to spray numerous times with bug killer to get rid of the insects. I found out from all of that there are over 100 different types of cedar. This one was oak bark cedar or alternatively alligator cedar. I made 3 spectacular bowls. Not as good as yours but still very nice. Not only do I enjoy seeing your pieces and seeing your work but this video reminded me of the wonderful pieces I made. Thanks for being an inspiration. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, so many varieties. I have never heard of Oak Bark Cedar. I'm surprised to learn it had bugs. The cedar around here is unaffected by bugs. Thank you for watching, Daniel!

[@jarmstrong2843]

I wish I could turn cedar. It is one of my favorite woods. But unfortunately, I have become highly allergic to the wood. Just smelling it would make me very ill. I had to have a neighbor’s son clean my shop out of all cedar wood, dust and wood shavings before I could turn wood again. It took him a couple of weeks to get things clean. My allergy to cedar is tantamount to a peanut allergy that many folks have developed and can be deadly. So now I must be satisfied watching you turn something very nice!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I turned some Redwood that did the same to me so I understand. Thank you for watching! 😊

Wow ...I suffer many dangerous allergies, ..mostly food , chemicals etc ....however I never knew there were " wood" or cedar allergies . Must be so difficult , if it's on the same level as anaphylactic shocks . So basically can kill... Is it the mould and fungus that grow in cedar tor any wood that causes it ? Meanwhile , yes these videos are so enjoyable, ....makes me feel so close to nature . Love how Phil embraces and enhances the organic forms. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Howdy Phil, You always find the funkiest wood and make gorgeous pieces. This is no exception. As Emeril used to say, we need “smell-a-vision”. Tell us a little bit about your tools. The bowl gauges look to be a more traditional grind, not the Ellsworth grind. I see the scraper is Benjamin’s Best. I have a few of their tools and am satisfied. I have not tried the Sand-o- flex, but looks like a great tool. Keep the videos coming!

Thank you, James! Almost all of my tools are Benjamin's Best including the bowl gouges. I'm satisfied as well with the tools, just not with Penn State Industries poor customer service. I often say, if I didn't have a sand o flex I would not turn the pieces I do. I consider it essential.

Year's ago, I worked at a building supply center, and had to mail a special order of aromatic, cedar from the post office. I jumped in my car and went down to the post office which was probably a mile away. By the time a got to the post office, I had a massive headache from the strong smell. It smelled beautiful, but it was so potent, I couldn't handle it. Beautiful work, Phil!

Interesting story, Wes. I didn't experience and bad side effects but I understand how that could happen. Thank you!

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop lol. I'm pretty certain your shop is larger than the inside of a Cutlass Ciera. 😀. I think that small area just concentrated the smell and pretty much made it overwhelming.

Great camera angle so we would see the bowl taking shape. Thanks for speeding up the video.

I'm so glad you leave so much of the shape of the wood the way it comes to you. There's nothing lovelier than those rolling waves of wood on the outside of this piece

We totally agree, Judith, thank you! 😊
