How I Made A Flower Pot - Wood Turning

[@WhiskeyDale]

I too learned to turn wood by watching KZbin. Primarily your channel. Thanks Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

So nice of you to mention, Dale, thank you! 😊

[@jackgrayson832]

OK, I turned a flower pot from a piece of hickory... my daughter loved it.... thanks Phil...

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks, Jack! 😊

[@michaelmilazzo8722]

Phil nothing you do is ordinary.You are the master

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are too kind, Michael, thank you! 😊

[@anthonykreinbrink2512]

Ribbons for DAYS from the Bradford pear I have turned, Phil! So satisfying!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It's a turners favorite, Anthony! 😊

[@helgahughes6931]

How much better my succulents would look in this beautiful pot. Great job again! Please keep on sharing your amazing work! 🪴

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Helga! Will do! 😊

[@tkishkapesilurian4281]

Phil, please forgive me for posting twice on this beautiful flowerpot. If you had left the interior at a smaller diameter to allow the plastic pot to be grasped, it would be more able to be removed for maintenance. I enjoy your videos. I am a 72 yo OG who is a Master Turner in Training. YOU ROCK!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

The pot does not touch the bottom. Sorry if I gave you the idea that it does. He is held by the rim. I can grasp the rim to pull the pot out, easily.

[@gregjones2217]

There's everything special about it Phil It's yours and there isn't another one like it. And it's pretty.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Greg! 😊

[@jamesjudd2338]

I love turning Bradford Pear. Turns great, sands great and nice grain.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@rosiepollard2478]

Gorgeous flower pot. I’m sure the little succulent will enjoy living in it on your window sill 🪴

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I hope so, Rosie! 😊

[@rocioneyra2150]

Very nice pot. I always hold my breath while scrapping the inside. Very natural indeed 👌

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Rocio! You might try grinding your scraper to negative rake. Almost impossible to make a mistake. 😊

[@conniefirestone752]

Lovely pot. Good job. Now the hard part is keeping the plant alive. 🪴

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Tell me about it 😊

[@garydawson3184]

Flower pot, why not? Seems a fairly natural destiny for the piece. It will be pleased to be sprouting green again!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good point, Gary! 😊

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Phil it is beautiful and it looks fantastic with the succulent in it. Plants give you lots of pleasure. Don't over water it, succulents don't need a lot of water. Always feel the soil before watering. Only water if the soil is totally dry. Enjoy your pot is awesome.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for the tip, Kobie! 😊

[@SusanneMilewski-b3q]

Perfect little flower pot. Your commentary is educational and enjoyable. I’m completely fascinated with your ability and insight.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thank you, Socko! 😊

[@terry3974]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You're welcome, Terry, thanks for watching! 😊

[@beckybustillo7553]

Hello again Mr. Phil... Yes simple...but sooo naturally beautiful at the same time. I wish I had a couple of the same flower pot sittn' on my kitchen windowsill. Enjoy your work of art...you get to see it everyday...and such a cute little plant too.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you like it, Sandra, thank you! 😊

[@joannmay-anthony1076]

I am so totally cool cuz i am a subscriber! The plant is a succulent and doesn't need much water. A spritz of water once or twice a week (depending on your humidity would work fine)

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Of course you are! 😊 Good to know, Jo Ann, thank you!

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Hello master wood turner! That was a great pen you received my wife was looking over my shoulder and now I have to make her a flower pot like yours..... She and I love what you did there

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, it'll be fun, Luie, enjoy! 😊

[@georgefrench1907]

That succulent may be in the echo Echeveria family, but there are thousands of varieties. That’s great turning wood. 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for the info, George!

[@julianclarke7178]

Great job Phil, we call the plant a Succulent . Looks lovely. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe, Jules, Droitwich, England

[@ceciliarunnoe1463]

Kinda makes me think of an acorn. Charming for the kitchen windowsill. Perfect for that little succulent.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That's where it is, Cecilia, kitchen windowsill. I'm on my second succulent. Just can't get the hang of it! 😊

[@susannah4Him]

I like it!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I do too, now. I killed the first plant but, recently replaced it and it's been living for almost a month! I didn't know about the over-watering part, now I do!

[@johndelittle1281]

[@tuboe777]

Way cool and I have no qualms about putting something in the pot. I’m going to make one like 👍 it soon. You are a Master Wood Turner 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 my friend, happy wood turning.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Go for it! 😊

[@carolriley8472]

Love it and I love turning Bradford Pear!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It did turn pretty easily, Carol. Thank you! 😊

[@annwahlstrom149]

Wonderful flowerpot. If you wrap your plastic pot in a clear plastic bag and trim off the excess edges, you don't need to remove the flower from the pot. Succulents doesn't need to be watered very often, they store water in their "leafs" and when they seem thin it's time to water again. Good luck! Greetings from Sweden. 🤩❤❤❤❤❤👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good info, Ann, thank you! 😊

[@judyjohnson6180]

I love the flower pot!😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Judy! 😊

[@Meadow_cat]

The acorn pot, nice work Phil! Thank you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You bet 😊

[@jeanlong4285]

Just got a piece of Bradford Pear and now I can't wait to turn it. Your little pot turned out great. Your plant looks like a succulent and will not need water very often at all.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jean, good to know. Enjoy your turning of the B F! 😊

[@tinaharbit1806]

Absolutely gorgeous Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Tina! 😊

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I winter Gerber Daisies over, some are 5 years old. They’re my babies!! Of course, as they get bigger the pot sizes get bigger, like 24x24 big. My husband gets me a 4 inch Gerber every Valentine’s Day, they’d look amazing in a pot like that. So, you might not be too excited about a flower pot, but I am! And that finish is beautiful! I use tung oil on furniture I restore, oils bring out the grain beautifully.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

My wife loved Gerber Daisies, Chrissy. Here, we leave them in the ground year 'round and they just come back up each spring. 😊

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

It’s a cute, adorable flower pot!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Kandie! 😊

[@georgekunkel5819]

Really like it what a great idea. Always a pleasure Phil🙂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it 😊

[@davidmahoy4478]

I have a big supply of Brad-berry pear , you’re right, it is easy to work with, and makes some beautiful pieces.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wonderful!

[@eveeseki9677]

I know a philodendron Birkin that would feel like royalty in that gorgeous pot!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool! Thank you, Evee! 😄

[@Zincchromeshema]

Very sweet and tasteful, and so is the flower pot and plant☺

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! Thank you, Lili! 😊

[@texanasimmons1761]

Cute little pot! It shows off the plant well.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think so too! I got lucky. Thank you, Texana! 😊

[@jerrydempsey3490]

Phil, it's not just a flower pot, it's a flower pot made by a master wood turner. That makes it special. Best wishes from Ohio.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, OK, thank you, Jerry! 😊

[@neilshobbyhq]

Hi Phil, a very nice little piece, better not let my wife see this as she will have me making plant pots all day long lol.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL!

[@JiggsysShed]

That looks great. Nice work Phil. Like the idea of making a pot fit inside

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, thanks! 😊

[@jillmenter5628]

Love the pot. Goes so well with your succulent.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think so too! Thank you, Jill! 😊

[@carsonwells1785]

The subtle interplay of the wood colors is fascinating, but I guess the same could be said of most woods. God didn't make a lot of boring trees. But for many years they give shade, fruit, flowers and shelter to various creatures of the ecosy

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

So true, Pete! 😊

[@howardnielsen6220]

Wow what a nice gift.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Howard! 😊

[@kathym2004]

Oh, you're so funny! I love the way you carry on a conversation with us out here, and ask questions. You teach in such a comfortable, casual way. This was a lovely little flower pot holder, and the succulent will let you neglect it with joy! I can't believe it's your very first plant -- hope it gives you lots of happiness as it thrives in your window.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Kathy! 😊

[@lauriegermain5041]

I love it, it's beautiful. You have a succulent plant .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Laurie! 😊

[@lakeshorewoodturner5136]

Thank you very much, Norman! 😊

[@leonasamuel7791]

That little piece of wood was meant to be a flower pot. Awesome how you let the wood speak to you and didn’t try to force it to be a bowl. Beautiful. And the succulent was a great plant to put in it!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, cool, thank you, Leona! 😊

Very kind of you, Bill, thank you! 😊

[@bryanstiles3569]

I have say I learned how to turn myself by watching a lot of your videos. I just recently started. Have only done 3 pieces so far but many many to turn in the future

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Absolutely, Dwayne, thank you! 😊

[@orionskydog]

The edge of bark at the top of this adorable piece makes me think of an acorn. Perfect for a flowerpot or for a plant to be growing and living in.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you! 😊

[@CarolWimer]

Great job, great flower pot. I might put wholes in the bottem in case it gets water in it so it dont sit and rot. You are teaching me so much, i really love watching your videos.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉😂

Very plain, very ordinary, very cute! And, you ARE a master woodturner. The beauty to bring out of some very questionable pieces of wood proves that!

Wow, thank you so much, Karen! 😊

[@genephipps6421]

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, a Master wood turner named Bradford Pear is showing off a flower pot he just turned from a lovely piece of Phil Anderson wood sent in by a long time viewer.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! 😊

[@ruthejohnson511]

you need to make more flower pots... i really like it!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]
