Haters are gonna hate. I think it takes a lot more class and courage to film and post something like that, than to try and convince people that it never happens to you. Any turner who never had something like that happen, hasn't explored the process or the creativity necessary to make real art. You do great work! Please continue to do so.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much!

[@jimsterling4462]

Great work and great recovery. Don’t let naysayers slow you down-artists take risks. You are a gifted woodworker and I’m happy to have this bowl on my table!

[@PFWoodturning]

😎✌

[@justinplas1197]

Great job young lady

[@rickharem5788]

Nice save Peggy! The bowl looks great. Don't listen to the ignorant critics.

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Peggy, That was a bad Woopsie, luckily no damage done, and a great repair, we all make mistakes and things happen. It’s how we get round them to correct them that makes a job worth doing, it turned out very nice in the end, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much✅

[@kenashton32]

Ya, ya, ya, Everyone’s an expert and so perfect! This is why I could never have a KZbin channel. But you did a great job in turning that bowl and recovering from the blowout. Good job with PPE and being out of the way of the line of fire you were in perfect position. Keep turning!!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much!!

[@johnfromfl8063]

Those naysayers who say you shouldn't be a turner just because of a piece flying off from a turning, they aren't wood turners. As a beginner i have done catches or pieces flying off and i have learned to stand aside when turning. It is all part of the learning experience. Keep up the great work . Have fun and be safe.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, John!

[@roryleo5629]

I have to admit, I jumped when it broke. Thank you for another beautiful bowl.

[@PFWoodturning]

Haha, so did I!

[@janeoverby2151]

Watched the shorter version, very nice recovery! And anyone who turns know you are safe. Safry first is always the first thing we turners learn.

[@PFWoodturning]

✅✌️

[@chetkirby4798]

Don’t worry about negative comments,you’re doing just fine. Keep it up.

[@PFWoodturning]

I appreciate that

[@stephenklebon7253]

Great work Peggy! There will always be arm chair quarterbacks out there, ignore them. They would have tossed that gorgeous piece of wood into the fire pit. You saw the diamond in the rough.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@mdaley3102]

Another great piece. Anyone that works with tools, climbs mountains, drives cars, etc takes risks. Great outcomes come with risk. Keep doing what you’re doing and have fun.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@JohnWilliams-iw6oq]

I love the FB comments, always good for a laugh so long as you realise these experts are not what they claim. Well done Peggy.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes! Thank you!

[@austinswift1602]

I really like how you recovered the piece. It looks incredible! Keep taking risks, that's the foundation of true art! Cheers! 🙂

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@catgynt9148]

Thank you for sharing this insightful video Peggy. I am glad that you didn’t get hurt when the blank shattered. I’m not sure about the bubble gum resin but it is your artistry and craftsmanship that brought mr to your channel... and the pink I’d growing on me. Your cutting board is quite interesting. It would be interesting to see how you build them. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle rains, seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace dear lady.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Cat!

[@patdavis1468]

It turned out beautifully!!! I watch a number of wood turners and I’ve seen bowls break and fly of their lathes as well. I was just reading my 3rd great grandfathers journal and he mentions having wood fly off his lathe, never fun but it happens, It happens even after the greatest care is given. 👍🏻❤️

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool that you have that journal! A piece of history.

[@patdavis1468]

@@PFWoodturning yes, a precious gift❤️

[@graygrand]

That bowl has a lot of character.

[@PFWoodturning]

Indeed, it does...at least I think so.

[@SFCRambo60]

WOW! That was close but glad you're not hurt and you got back on the horse. It looks awesome.

[@PFWoodturning]

✌️ thanks!

[@gregoryh4601]

Peggy very awesome Bowl Again. You were Out of the Fire Lane when the Bowl fell Apart. You are very Safety wood Wood Worker👍🏻

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes, thank you✌️

[@todddembsky8321]

Once again, Peggy's work explodes on the scene as a runaway success!! I have been watching your videos since you started. You have always been safe with what you do. Let the negative nannies rott in the bit bucket. I would love to see you make a video on your cutting boards. And your furniture, your Adirondack chairs, your Made in Minnesota -- er -- Maine earrings, and your "Don't do Stupid Stuff" trinkets. Is it time for a new and improved SHOP TOUR? TTFN P.S. PF, where is your classic bowl on the head outro?

[@PFWoodturning]

Haha! Thanks, Todd! Yeah, I forgot to do the bowl on the head!!

[@paullindgren1297]

Nice job great save. Don't worry about the critics. It's beautiful.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!!

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Peggy. Your bowl is beautiful. Nicely saved. I also can appreciate your cutting/ chartrudery board. Very nice.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@sdfwoodworks]

Love your work and this is a great piece. All the “experts” who are keyboard warriors should mind their business and shut up. There’s an inherent risk in woodturning, and you do it as safely as any of us. Keep up the good work, love your channel.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@stugixer57]

I’m a CNC machinist and as I always say to the younger guys in the shop “ a person who’s never made a mistake has never made anything”, the bowl turned out beautifully 👍, the haters opinions are just that, opinion's .

[@PFWoodturning]

✅✌️😎

[@CStern-pt3st]

Yes, I would like to see your videos on making cutting boards. The bowl turned out great. It was worth the risk, keep turning.

[@PFWoodturning]

Ok thanks!

[@alanbutler1657]

A beautiful save, well worth the effort. As I said before pay no heed to those negative critics, wood is unsafe, lathes are unsafe, sharp tools are unsafe, put the lot together then we have an inherent unsafe interest. The trick as you say is to be aware at all times, which you are.keep up the turning.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@glenglazier3691]

Great looking bowl, don't listen to the naysayers, they are probably too scared to try turning a cracked bowl. Thanks for sharing, even the mistakes. I'm not too keen on the bubble gum color, but still turned out fine.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@braddobson2060]

Beautiful work ,I hope you don't listen to the negative comments.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@russbissett]

I don't think there is a turner in the world that hasn't had a piece explode on the lathe, so people that give you negative comments are either not turners or extremely lucky. We all make mistakes, what we do after we make them is what matters. You made a beautiful piece out of what could have been a disaster.

[@PFWoodturning]

[@PFWoodturning]

You're the best!

[@tonyhuemann7613]

Beautiful! Love the shape. Bubble gum would not have been my choice. However, after seeing the bowl finished, great choice on your part. Thanks.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! 😊

[@2011griz]

Yeah, I think the red is a bit strong. A bit darker or purplish would be less distracting, imo. But hey, you know what they say about opinions. ;) It still turned out fine and beautiful.

[@stephanielovatt2787]

I like this bowl! I'm not the world's greatest fan of pink, but this one was well-chosen for this piece. It looks really good! Thanks! I'd like to see a video of your charcuterie biard, too, please?

[@PFWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@randyrockwell6136]

Another beautiful bowl Peggy! As far as the “safety” issue …… having watched you turn numerous pieces I am sure, you would not do something that might put you in danger of harming yourself. Would I turn that piece ….. Definitely not! But, I am a new wood turner that does not have the skill, knowledge and experience you have. It is easy to be an “expert” on social media! You obviously know what you are doing and I appreciate it that you share your knowledge with all of us 🥰🤠🇨🇱

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Randy! Much appreciated.

[@JohnFerraro]

Great job recovering the bowl and persevering through the project. 👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!!

[@gary8033]

Good looking bowl, Peggy. Yes, I'd like to see more videos of the boards.

[@PFWoodturning]

Ok thanks!

[@2011griz]

Great. I have watched a lot of turning videos and what I like with yours is ... that you tell/explain what you are doing as you go along. And stop the lathe so that we can see how it's coming along. Phil Anderson does the same, and that's why I love his vids as well. So many others just show the turning with no interactions with the viewer. Might as well just FF to the end product. so thanks.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@careywatson1593]

I love the combination of resin and wood. I am sorry it was not a planned event but that's life. I would very much like to see your cutting board made.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks. No awards here though. I wish! haha.

Thanks 👍

Alost every youtuber I watch has a handful of negative commenters. Someone can always do it better from behind their magic keyboard. I always think of the band Styx when people talk about their critics. The critics hated Styx and shredded them. The band had to quit reading the reviews. They were the first rock band to ever go quadruple platinum. Keep up the great work.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, yeah, never read your own reviews I guess!✌

[@g.leebihm2588]

Hi Peggy, great looking bowl. I’m not a fan of pink, blues and greens are more to my liking, but the pink worked very well in this bowl. I saw the video on Facebook and how all the Safety Police jumped in. All of them acting like they’ve never had something go sideways when turning a piece. There are turners that will never attempt to turn something that could be questionable, but some of my best pieces have been made from wood that some would have thrown away. But as you said, stand outside of the line of fire, make light cuts and wear proper safety equipment. Woodturning in itself is a dangerous hobby, but how boring life would be without a little bit of danger in it. 😂 Keep up the great work, making beautiful pieces. Lee/GunnyUSMC

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much, I agree about taking risks. If everything we turned was perfect, that would be so boring!
